One of the best episodes to date. As much as I love empathizing with the guests over their blocks, I really enjoyed a break to listen to psychedelic and comedic philosophy.
Neal, you're hitting gold with these. At first I thought, 'Another podcast of comedians?' ... then watched it... totally different. Doing it with blocks is genius. They're all forced to be real. You are a genius, Neal. Thank you.
Pete and Neal are really great together. I initially thought they’d be an odd pairing, having never seen them talk before, but they really complement one another and bring out the best in one another. ❤️☀️🙏🏼
Rarely do I watch an episode of anything twice, but when I do it's of this quality. One of the best episodes of the show yet. Pete Holmes has always been awesome
A few years ago I added a third "motto" to my brain, which is "other people are other people". Delightful to hear Pete say "If I were him, I'd be him", which is just the converse of the same perspective
Just discovered this podcast, and it's right up my alley! Wow, Pete Holmes... He's been one of my favorites for the past couple of years but lately listening to him on podcasts has been so healing for me as a woman to hear a man be able to conceptualize and verbalize and express his trauma and healing so vulnerably. but with pride and humor and showing that deep sense of pain thats there in the depths. What a brilliant mind!
The dog thing the music thing the body dysmorphia thing all the things i loveee this vulnerability and honesty and finding the grace n humor in it all ~ we’re all just getting through this thing called life. I really think Neals my twin lol 🙋🏽♀️☺️thnx 4 sharing this dope conversation ~ MUCH LOVE 🙏🏽👏🏽 ❤️BLESSSSS yall!!!
This is what Joe's podcast was back in the day... Okay, mostly when Duncan Trussell was on, and with less machine elves stories 😂 Thanks for this format and for keeping the flame alive!
7:48 - Pete - " When I tell you that YOU're a good boy. then I'M in the mix." I also heard: ' If you can spot it, you got it. ' , which is a phrase, I first heard in 12 step meetings, and is very insightful.
Love yall! ❤ Pete, I've been your fan for over a decade. Long story, but you changed my life...started me on my spiritual journey ❤ I got to meet you back in the day and you were soooo kind!!!!
Pete Holmes is so wise.. His approach to the spiritual is so loose and silly. Reminds all of us to be kind to ourselves and stop taking things so seriously
In the '80's I did mushrooms once, ecstasy once -- both had an impact on my creativity and I got some cool writing out of the deal, but, it didn't open my consciousness like ayahuasca. Ayahuasca has had a lasting impact and spaciousness that has lingered.
Wow I can’t believe Neal wouldn’t give credit to his friend Jimmy Carr who enjoyed his Netflix special Blocks and told him he should have his friends on a podcast and ask them about THEIR Blocks
"Can't he love you and want your sandwich?" line from Pete about his dog is how I think a lot people who want a lot of sex are. It isn't that they only want you for sex, and don't have real love. They just also want your sandwich.
I thought they where talking about the struggle of stardom. People around them love them but also want the benefits that comes with dating famous successful people. What do you think?
I took drugs once I got old and now understand the world and money! that's the paraphrasing of these naive elitists talking about themselves and the privileged lives they are accustomed to. Cars, money and homes in the mountains... all they care about, what this strike is about and how "you're not them"
Late to this one but I think this is my favorite discussion on the human condition and how to step back and look at life. Great starting blocks and solid rock to come back to when you find yourself out of mind. Great talk guys!
Yikes this episode hits on a bunch of my own blocks. Thanks, um, I think. Wow I’m counting the days (29) before the health insurance kicks in at my new job, I’ve gotta get cracking on finding a good CBT and DBT therapist that hopefully that insurance covers.
I'm really glad Pete mentioned that Neil looks emaciated. I was really wondering what was going on with that, but felt it rude to even think about. He also seemed really sad as a result of it. He seems so much happier and energetic in past clips from a few years ago, not mention less emaciated.
To me, Pete bringing up Neal's weight felt like Pete avoiding/deflecting from his own stuff... Also... I didn't hear him say "emaciated"... Hmmmm... Maybe a Block of Yours?
@@vanessawhitneypro I'm really not sure what point you think you're making 🤨, but Neal looks unhealthy skinny, and I'm glad somebody addressed it (regardless of whether or not they were deflecting). Don't really care how you want to phrase it.
Interesting; when we come from instability, we yearn for the idea of stable. (ie: eat the same thing, wear the same things, listen to the same thing) Sometimes it’s good to disrupt the comfort of the sameness.🤗💖
I think Neal loves most of his guests and the act he puts on around others is a projection of his inner turmoil - whether he loves or despises himself. He should love himself because he’s providing this great podcast to world and allowing us all to learn from it and heal ourselves.
One of the best episodes to date. As much as I love empathizing with the guests over their blocks, I really enjoyed a break to listen to psychedelic and comedic philosophy.
This posts let's me know I don't need to watch it. Can't stand Pete Holmes and it sounds like it's Pete being Pete. No thanks.
That stinks, Pete’s a nice guy
@@vanessawhitneypro Pete is an enlightened comedy sex god. What blocks could he possibly have?
He did talk about his blocks
Nobody cares Brian.
I’m dead serious: I would give anything to have Pete be my personal therapist. He’s so full of insight and kindness.
I love the “if I was them I’d be them” quote. I’ll use this for sure.
I rediscovered Pete through Rick Glassman and I'm so happy I did, such a great dude. Thanks for having him on here Neal
same
"PTSD Club Member" was the best joke of the pod. Love this duo. You two need to make more pods together.
Pete Holmes is a true disciple of spirituality. Great conversation!
I loved Pete’s book! It was so 🤯. It made me go into a rabbit hole starting with Ram Dass. I wish this episode was longer!! We need a Pete part 2!!!!
What is his book called?
@@__her The Diarrhea Diaries
@@__her it’s called Comedy Sex God.

I just want to listen to Pete Holmes talk 24-7
Pete has 2-3 hour podcasts every week (You Made it Weird), so that shouldn't be a problem! 😂
His podcast is awesome.
So does Pete lol
@@walkr8383 LOLOL
Been waiting for Pete on Blocks since before Blocks existed
I really love Pete's emotional intelligence and viewpoints on things. Great episode!
Neal, you're hitting gold with these. At first I thought, 'Another podcast of comedians?' ... then watched it... totally different. Doing it with blocks is genius. They're all forced to be real. You are a genius, Neal. Thank you.

So true. This is a beautiful conversation.
they are a bit of an odd pairing when you look at their public personas,but they've both been through a lot of comparable stuff as we all found out.
Rarely do I watch an episode of anything twice, but when I do it's of this quality. One of the best episodes of the show yet. Pete Holmes has always been awesome
That was the silliest discussion of all that is deeply spiritual and sacred that I've ever heard.
❤ Delightful! ❤
A few years ago I added a third "motto" to my brain, which is "other people are other people". Delightful to hear Pete say "If I were him, I'd be him", which is just the converse of the same perspective
Not really “converse” more analogous. But if I were you I’d have written converse ❤
@@tonyattardo9350 lol
Pete’s gonna be a cult leader by the end of the year
That's right
He's got the hair.
I would join
Sign me up
I thought that 8 years ago.. it's a slow burn
This show's guests are amazing I love it, Thanks Neal
by a wide margin, this is the best comedian-hosted podcast. always hits. bravo Neal! and bravo producers!
You to speaking makes me feel all warm & fuzzy. Pete sounds like a hug.

Such a pleasant and open person to speak to, this is so rare today.
Phewww.... This hit me just in time. Love this podcast.
Agreed, just like comedy itself, it's all about......timing lol
definitely going to recommend listening to this while a little stoned. and, these two are really great together. Wouldn't have guessed that at all.
The dog thing, noise, Keith Robinson--same. All of it. I love you guys for that.
The dog thing the music thing the body
dysmorphia thing all the things i loveee this vulnerability and honesty and finding the grace n humor in it all ~ we’re all just getting through this thing called life. I really think Neals my twin lol 🙋🏽♀️☺️thnx 4 sharing this dope conversation ~ MUCH LOVE 🙏🏽👏🏽 ❤️BLESSSSS yall!!!
This is the best conversation. Everyone should listen to this.
You're the best conversation
could listen to pete talk for hours. He is wise
This is what Joe's podcast was back in the day... Okay, mostly when Duncan Trussell was on, and with less machine elves stories 😂
Thanks for this format and for keeping the flame alive!
Absolutely love this podcast. Also every time the ding in the show goes off, my dog barks and then my heart races 😂
I was stoned as shit for all this and it was perfect🧘🏻♂️
Finally, RUclips gets it. This video showed up in my algorithm. Two of my top ten favorite comedians together in one room.😍
This episode was spectacular. Thank you, Neal and Pete.
i realized recently that neal is one of my favorite artists. tv, stand up and all 3 podcasts - i love them all.
7:48 - Pete - " When I tell you that YOU're a good boy. then I'M in the mix."
I also heard: ' If you can spot it, you got it. ' , which is a phrase, I first heard in 12 step meetings, and is very insightful.
Love yall! ❤
Pete, I've been your fan for over a decade. Long story, but you changed my life...started me on my spiritual journey ❤
I got to meet you back in the day and you were soooo kind!!!!
This was the best one so far. Thanks beautiful humans 💙🙏💙
Time for therapy!
YESSSSS I was hoping Pete would be on Blocks. I’m commenting before I’ve even started watching because there is no doubt this will be a great episode.
I didn't know Pete was so zen. This was a great ep.
I keep getting blown away by this podcast week after week. This one is very close to my heart. Thank you both.
Just watched Netflix Blocks. Simply brilliant! I don’t know how I missed it. Very much enjoying your Blocks podcast too. ❤
this podcast/project is adding something yay neal and the person he has to refer to in the intro
This one met my expectations in every way I could think of.
Finally someone else who shares my complicated perspective on dogs. "Does it love me or does it just want the turkey leg?"
Seriously one of the greatest podcast ever! I’m sure I will never meet either of you, but you are my brothers.
Pete is underrated
"My mom should understand me? Is that true? You're suffering over an illusion that should be happening."
Great episode. Hope this channel gets bigger soon. It’s really too good for youtube-no other show like it.
Great episode. Definitely one of my favorites
After a much needed break from Pete, I enjoyed seeing him again.
I am so happy. PETE!!
Pete Holmes is so wise.. His approach to the spiritual is so loose and silly. Reminds all of us to be kind to ourselves and stop taking things so seriously
Fantastic conversation. What Pete said about spaciousness: that was the exact thing I wanted and found after doing Ayahuasca.
Did you have psychedelic experiences prior to your Ayahuasca journey?
In the '80's I did mushrooms once, ecstasy once -- both had an impact on my creativity and I got some cool writing out of the deal, but, it didn't open my consciousness like ayahuasca. Ayahuasca has had a lasting impact and spaciousness that has lingered.
Lol I hang out with the dog at the party because it doesnt care about what I do for a living
The Dog is Acceptance, we all want that, bro
This is the best. My two favorites. Talking about the real stuff.
idk why im barely diving into this but its so good man, thanks Neal!
This might be my favorite podcast epp all time of any pod.
Pete is my favorite dumb golden retriever. Love this guy!
Wow I can’t believe Neal wouldn’t give credit to his friend Jimmy Carr who enjoyed his Netflix special Blocks and told him he should have his friends on a podcast and ask them about THEIR Blocks
I laughed out loud at this
every week I wait for the week when he doesn't say it
Well, Carr did lift his line: 'Narcissism is I have the illness, you've got the symptoms "
this episode is to be shared & rewatched over & over again. thank you so much Neal & Pete!
This convo is so amazingly unexpected, I always thought Pete was divin into bits but this was really special. Love this episode!
this is a lit convo. deep and smart and funny! well done!
Enough with episode already, wash my damn towels!
I had no idea Pete was this insightful. I guess I shouldnt be surprised but I’m still impressed
This was fantastic. Thank you so much, Neal & Pete. ❤
"Can't he love you and want your sandwich?" line from Pete about his dog is how I think a lot people who want a lot of sex are. It isn't that they only want you for sex, and don't have real love. They just also want your sandwich.

Depends on the sandwich….
Sounds like something George Costanza could get on board with
This was the best ep of the podcast. End to end, no filler. Super relevent, just funny enough. Got so much from listening.
Just so you know Neal, this closeness is OVER the minute the pod ends. 😏😉
16:17 The zoom on Pete's homocidal laugh is some of best comedic editing I've seen
this is a great episode pete did amazing and so did neal 👏
I took drugs once I got old and now understand the world and money!
that's the paraphrasing of these naive elitists talking about themselves and the privileged lives they are accustomed to.
Cars, money and homes in the mountains... all they care about, what this strike is about and how "you're not them"
Now I need Good Boy merch!
Late to this one but I think this is my favorite discussion on the human condition and how to step back and look at life. Great starting blocks and solid rock to come back to when you find yourself out of mind.
Great talk guys!
This conversation helped me understand some things about myself.

I needed so many different parts of this ep ❤❤❤❤
Now this is podcast directing for the 21st century
i needed to hear all of this at this exact time. thank god for both of these guys. 🙏
Didn't realize Pete was so enlightened. ❤
Ptsd club member. 😂😂😂
The spaciousness explanation/conversation was my favorite on this episode. 😊
Hearing Pete Holmes talk earnestly about disassociating from the ego . . .
Good lord, Neal’s skin looks so good. Well done, sir. Well done indeed.
thank you for this podcast, i really needed it.
Loving this so much-they vibe together beautifully...I definitely gotta get back into listening to Pete's podcast again :)
I enjoy these podcasts. Keep them coming please. :)
Thank you for the podcast Neal I love it I’ll listen to every one thank you it’s like adjacent therapy
His show Crashing is awesome. Wish it was on more seasons
LOVE
THE
Laughs
Mercy
:)
Gratitude
Learning
Together
I cried at the end of this. Thanks pete!😢❤
"I'm embarresed that I want this" - So true, so true.
Best interview yet!
Really enjoying this episode! If you were them you'd be them.....❤
This was amazing...i would to see more of this side of pete!
Pete Holmes for the dad in problem child remake. Definitely got some John Ritter vibes.
I always liked Stephen Chomsky’s line, “we accept the love, we think we deserve.”
I'm really glad Pete mentioned that Neil looks emaciated. I was really wondering what was going on with that, but felt it rude to even think about. He also seemed really sad as a result of it. He seems so much happier and energetic in past clips from a few years ago, not mention less emaciated.

Loved this. Related to so much of this. Only mention one thing. I love music so much I hate it being everywhere on repeat. Peace, really.
Best name for a dog ever.
It's so funny that he says Jeff Bridges because I had that same thought 10 minutes into the podcast.
Another great episode! So many layers to this podcast.. one is me trying to figure out if Neal loves or despises his guest 😂
I think Neal loves most of his guests and the act he puts on around others is a projection of his inner turmoil - whether he loves or despises himself. He should love himself because he’s providing this great podcast to world and allowing us all to learn from it and heal ourselves.
