Neal is aware of the stains on his ear. He learned a valuable lesson about dealing with a bike chain shortly before a podcast. Shout-out to Rudy Giuliani.
I'm way too busy fixating on the one extra long or shiny white beard hair on Jake's cheek, or the patch of Neal's beard just below his ear that he seems to have missed when trimming, to notice. However, these are ultimately just opportunities for me to examine my own toxic perfectionist tendencies. Such is Neal's genius. It is blocks all the way down.
Man that grease gets everywhere, but you don't have to hug your bike to fix it. I had this happen on a bike ride with my like 7-year-old son. His chain fell off. There was some bolt thing that was loose that I couldn't tighten and we were like 2 mi away from home. I got it to stay in the right position with a stick, But the first stick broke and we were in such a nice neighborhood with such well manicured lawns. I couldn't find a f****** stick on the ground. Finally found one and my son rode home the whole way with a stick sticking out of his bike. And his mom covered in grease.
Neal not knowing how a bike chain works, he tried to hear what was wrong. Must have got your ear too close. Now that the attention is on your ears, you got some satellites Neal. I never once looked at your ears till now. I been listening since ep 1 too.
One of my favorite things about this podcast has been watching Neal go from, "I'll never be a parent," to taking an active and proactive role in his partner's child's life.
This was such a great episode. I appreciate this perspective. It's nice to know that even famous people struggled just like I did/still do. Not feeling alone is healing.
I have always enjoyed Jake Johnson interviews. This one is beyond great. Loved hearing far more detail about Jake's school years, the reality of dropping out. Fascinating to hear about the the drive of winning from both of them. Made me think a lot about where I derive my fire. And lately it has been a damp match. So this episode hit me at the perfect time. I grew up with addict parents, in the Midwest, full belly and roof over head... but very few resources. Always, always thankful that I learned to be resourceful. That resourcefulness was needed and valued. Jake recognizing that his kids need to have challenging experiences is everything. That he and his wife realized that they were giving their kids too much stuff is so smart. This episode is so packed with good stuff about drive and motivation. Ready to watch it again. Thanks Neal and Jake! Really appreciate you and this.
You should not be using an entertainer for your therapy; Neal has not been trained in psychotherapy. It’s a great show but you should be seeing a professional.
Jake! So refreshing to hear that you encourage your kids to try and learn to be ok with losing! Learn to try again! I have been a teacher for 14 years and holy smokes that is the thing that I have seen change so much in the time i have been teaching.
The problem with the "I hate you, I want to beat you" approach is that if you become skilled enough to win prizes, excel in your field, and reach when you end of your career, you may realize you did it for the wrong reasons. You based your whole existence on proving someone wrong instead of pursuing what you love and simply enjoying it. So, yeah, our generation got messed up in the head. Great conversation, though.
Depersonalization is freaky as hell, I get it during the work week sometimes like I'm living in a video game doing the same thing over and over and it doesn't feel real
I really appreciate this as both a Chicagoan but I also am a father to a spectrum son. It makes me happy to understand the same way JJ does. I do push my son sometimes just to challenge him. That said. I adore who he is.
29:00 you can tell this is a question his therapist said to him that really resonated with him. Really made me think and contemplate it too. Great episode
27:27 this IS so tricky. My brother can't read, spell, write from the time he was in school, to now at 37yo. He completely sells himself short in life because of the way his educational needs shaped his personal development and ability to get employment. There's such a huge difference if a child needs extra help/attention/guidance/skilled tutoring. I've worked in higher education. You can absolutely see a child who had parents like "Uncle Eddy" versus supportive reinforcing parents.
Jake's depersonalization sounds a lot like disassociation which is a trauma response. Your body creates reactions to stop feeling negative emotions. Disassociation is just one of them and it's difficult to ground yourself back in your body. Good luck Jake.
I've not heard anyone talk about the expectation of the 'Us' and their disappointment in the fact the 'Us' doesn't exist. It took me a long time to realise that, I'm glad other people might hear it here first before learning the hard way.
I know my daughter's too young for Neal but the other day she told me I won't settle for someone who doesn't fit every part of what I value...like my bf doesn't drink tap water or recycle like I do..my daughter really cares about the environment..I worry she'll never marry she's 30 already like her mom 50 Neal I think u might have a lot in common
I experienced depersonalization when I was 20, and thought I was going out of my mind. Didn't learn what it was until RUclips decades later. If you experience it, research grounding techniques.
Holy shit do I need glasses or more brain cells. I read it as, "Jake Johnston " (of Mr Show fame) and thought, "Wow he's back in the fold after the January 6th stuff."
Jake talking about his sister being much more forgiving than him. But I think he can call himself a forgiving person too, based on what he told about his relationship with his father.
36:17 Spoken like a true narcissist. They think everyone secretly wants what they want. We don’t. Accomplishment is not enough to make you truly happy. For one example, look at you.
Do not try better help. It’s predatory and is wildly unethical. Find a therapist literally any other way. Find a different sponsor you have too many viewers to promote therapy that isn’t actually helpful. Especially because a lot people look at this as a kind of therapeutic podcast.

America's mayor!
Can you run for Pres? Are you eligible etc? If Cheeto can do it you could. You and Chappell ticket? Fuck yeah

Yes! I was just thinking about this myself!
OMG same. I feel like he should be on a poster. He is making being in a family sound so relatable.
This is one of my favorite episodes, I love how candid he was
This pod has become one of my gotos lately. The discussions are great, and love the guest selections. Jake Johnson is such a cool listen
Me too, it's amazing 😍
I feel like I just watched these guys become great friends. Great episode!
They had such wonderful chemistry! It was really lovely!
I had this exact thought. This episode flew by.
every episode I just hear jimmy in my head "which one of your parents were sick?" paying itself off
As a teacher, I wish all parents were like Jake.
As a disappointed son me too 😂😂😂
As a Jake, i wish all parents were teachers
This was such a great episode. I appreciate this perspective. It's nice to know that even famous people struggled just like I did/still do. Not feeling alone is healing.

This is the best therapy I have ever been exposed to. Thanks for doing this Neal.

Hey Neal thanks for healing the Earth on this one. My roses literally exploded with this playing.
I'd like this harder if I could. Great episode, love Jake Johnson
Kids are like a sunset only one day it won’t rise anymore. That’s deep and sad but beautiful.

This is essentially the arc of Marc Maron (started his podcast out of spite and is on a journey of self discovery)
Jake Johnson was so inciteful. I am amazed at how many times he laid out real truths. And he was funny while he did it.
Great episode. Again. WIll go listen to Jake’s podcast after this.
Jake's laugh makes me feel genuine joy. So very good and relatable.
That whole part about feeling sad for his dad because of how much he missed, that was tremendous.
Awesome episode, I love how you learn about every type of personality on this show and can understand people who don't think and feel like you do.
I love this podcast tour from Jake. Nick is such an important character to me!!

I suspect Jake and I had a very similar child hood but this just confirmed it . Thanks for the upload !!!! 🔥
Always one of the true highlights of my week
This is great. Love Jake.
Supporting Neal's ear
CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS SONG RELEASED ALREADY 😬😬😬😬
Noodle soup with beef, and it's brown. That's what I was eating as you guys were talking about explosive diarrhea 😂
29:00 you can tell this is a question his therapist said to him that really resonated with him. Really made me think and contemplate it too. Great episode
I really enjoy this one. I’m gonna check out his new show on Hulu.
It’s actually a movie and it’s really good check it out

FK The silent film bit !!! Priceless!!! Jake Johnson is amazing!!!
The fuzzy on Jake’s beard is the buddy we all need telling us right from wrong
30:48 This! The changing of motivation 33:35 this too!!!
The term “gerbil head” has changed my perception forever hahahaha
cool to hear from another New
Trier guy, though a rare one. In a school where 98-99% go to college, being a drop out takes real guts.
Great episode. Thanks, guys.
Yaaaaayyyy!!!! love your guests!!!! Jake Rules!

*queue arm chair expert themesong*
Love the integration of actors on the show
I've not heard anyone talk about the expectation of the 'Us' and their disappointment in the fact the 'Us' doesn't exist. It took me a long time to realise that, I'm glad other people might hear it here first before learning the hard way.
Great conversation and interesting life journey from Jake.
I am trying to imagine sitting at a table, in a casino, and having Nick from New Girl screaming at me😂
Smashed that like button before that first “hey” 🎉
Genuinely great episode with two guys that I get.
Algorithm engagement!!!
Bill Murray and brothers all caddied at Indian Hill. cool facts
Jake Johnson is so fkn cool.
loved this one! "safety not guaranteed" is a fantastic film.
😹😹😹😹😹 5/5
😻😻😻😻😻 5/5
God bless that big brother 🎉
Brilliant
I hate how Jake Johnson isn’t in more movies etc
AND he voiced maybe the best Spider-Man in the last decade
Bruh. I lost my mind that it wasn't at the top of the credits. Feels like a choice...
I know my daughter's too young for Neal but the other day she told me I won't settle for someone who doesn't fit every part of what I value...like my bf doesn't drink tap water or recycle like I do..my daughter really cares about the environment..I worry she'll never marry she's 30 already like her mom 50 Neal I think u might have a lot in common
Jake's podcast is awesome. Definitely listen!!
He dissociates, significant early Trauma. such a unique American childhood story of a modern Celebrity, sweet n honest.
The Sailboat example!
Most underrated Spiderman !!
Oh man I love Flake!

Drinking buddies was a good movie too
Reoccurring Anxiety Dreams…. Gawd damnit! I have a block even when I fukn sleep
Holy shit do I need glasses or more brain cells. I read it as, "Jake Johnston " (of Mr Show fame) and thought, "Wow he's back in the fold after the January 6th stuff."
I can't say I miss Jimmy Pesto's presence on Bob's Burgers.
I wish I could find who sings the theme song because its a banger
Living in a pretty nice area without having the resources to have significant upward mobility is frustrating. Yes to avocado...and college debt
Jake talking about his sister being much more forgiving than him. But I think he can call himself a forgiving person too, based on what he told about his relationship with his father.
neal should interview the ghosts of celebrities.
LOVE Eric Edelstein!
“Most notably New Girl…”
Neal! That is FUCKING SPIDER-MAN what are you talking aboutttt my man???!
The psychopath test should just be one question: “Do you like Jake Johnson?” Yes - you’re good. No- well…
The sun used to be bigger
So his dad is an Adam Sandler character?
And he's the best Spider-Man! Peter B. Parker!
Like if you watch even the ads!
you're driving, look at your phone is genius

Hahaaaa no gloves neal over here! Am i right?

2 real 4 me
For the alg
👍👍
for the algo
Jake Johannsen has aged well.
He got so much surgery
😮🎉
Couple of out of staters so So Cal!!
Does anyone look more like a goblin than Neil Brennan? Hard to say.
there's something about this podcast that bores me to near-suicide.
Jake is just about at the end of his cute, so he'd better get some work now before its gone completely.
Double J, or J^2 is the man
👍👍
