In his EP of Blocks w/ Jordan Jensen, Neal did say he recently spent some time in Austin. I wonder if he was just visiting w/ Joe. 🤔🧐

I too recently spent some time in that area. I wonder what would have happened if we had crossed paths.

Happy Sugar Day. This Documentary is one of the single most important and well made artifacts about Chapelle's Show and what had happened. A must watch for any fans of Neal, Dave or just the show.

Y'all, this man give me 🦋 in my tummy. M/Neal Brennan where are you??? 💋

Just finishing A I Am. By Patricia Neal and it is non-stop!!!

Neal recently recommended Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (for the Active Lisnters)

And also

Wild Swans: Three Daughters by Chang Jung.

Just finished P&P again and let me say Mr. Collins is desperately underrated as a character. As is Mary Bennet. #forSarah #whoisyourmother??? #meetmeinthevestibule

And I'm looking forward to Wild Swans, but not before Traffics and Discoveries by Rudyard Kipling. ('Cause I don't understand a word coming out of the President's mouth ikyyk)

Are We All Met???
Very good.

If you're listening for the Ads, such as I am, then you may have caught the Brecthian audio easter egg placed intentionally and delicately by our beloved Dr./ Uncle/Papa/ Mr./ Meal/Neal Brennan, During the Rory Scovel episode.

"Quiet Bird!" (The bird was a paid actor)

He's been teasing this documentary drop for weeks now! How could I not see it?

Lucky for us, in the Craig Ferguson episode, he let the cat ALL THE WAY out of the bag.

The documentary Dr. Brennan ( Certified PHD pending further investigation) would like us all to see is "The Legend of Luis Valdez." Dir. by David Alvarado.

The documentary is leaving theaters this week sadly. I was lucky enough to catch it at my local cineplex. I was so moved.

For those of you who don't know, Luis Valdez is the director and writer of The Richie Valens Story La Bamba . The film depicts the life of the great Chicano Rock N Rolla, played by Lou Diamond Philips, who I happen to like a lot. Valens' life would be shortened tragically in a plane crash along with legends Buddy Holly and "The Big Hopper" JP Richardson. (The Day the Music Died 🌹)

Valdez is also the first Chicano American to have a play on Broadway, The play Zoot Suit, "Aye Pachuco!!" He is the founder of the legendary Teatro Campesino, who delivered many commedia del arte esque plays during La Huelga, The Farm Worker's Strike of the 1960s led by the legendary Dolores Huerta ( queen mother!) He used theater to inspire Chicano Americans to their inherited dignity in a time, where it seemed nearly impossible. His work teaches us that nothing is impossible with the creative spirit still alive.

If you watch the film Zoot Suit, you might also notice, Mr. Brennan was referencing Valdez over Crazy Good. From his costume to the scenery! Is Neal Brennan a playwright or a stand up??? Aye bruvh get your genres straight--- I can't keep up!!!

All three of these are fabulous watches ( especially if you are recovering from your first "Ayahuasca Circle" ... details delivered shortly.) However the documentary will be out again on the PBS streaming platform in October.

Watch party anyone?

PS. Question for Craig: Did you try to Rufus yourself off of the London Bridge? Have you tried burning a flag???

There are some great books on the topic of late night such as The Late Shift and much of Kliph Nesteroff's works ... but nothing beats like the horse's mouth. 😉

So sorry this took so long to post! I'd like to think I had something to do with this guest being booked.

Listen: anyone saying Neal is married is illiterate.

He said he was "basically married" which is not the same as literally.

Either that or Neal is a twin and his younger brother has been sending me A LOT of gifts.

Ps.: Check out

This was so good. A lot of people are like "Jordan's the worst, she cancelled on Neal."

But there's literally an adult actor using Jordan's likeness all over the internet pretending it's her because she got rejected by Neal a decade ago. (Ps that's a federal crime, you see something, you say something)

Anyway that's not what this EP is about.

But still, Neal is lucky to get half of the guests he gets.

Complaints need to be reserved for community management. (That me)

I have some deep thoughts. I'll be hanging out on substack if you need me. Talk soon. 💋

Happy Father's Day Neal.

​

OH my God he looks so fine!!!! WTF!? DUDE!
Pic 1: Look at how big my arms are.
Pic 2: Look how seggsy I am
Pic 3: Bish are you seriously taking screen shots right now!?
Pic 4: Look how silly I am.
Pick all for later

In 2017, I was in a very dark place in my life. I was harmed by so many people up until that point. It felt like they were meeting up in the middle of the night, just to plan detriment to my life.

When I discovered all that Neal Brennan had created and made in the meantime, while I went away for healing, I realized very quickly that I was not alone in the world. That there was someone in the same psychospiritual space fighting for air.

I knew I would never again be abandoned.
Please enjoy this playlist that was a part of his preshow ritual. 🌹♥

In this Episode of The Blocks Podcast with Neal Brennan Guest Chris Jericho Discuss the way that lines are blurred in entertainment.

I also have a deep dive question that nobody will know the answer to. Or maybe somebody will:

Is there a difference between " The Blocks Podcast" and " Blocks" the podcast with Neal Brennan.... I'm asking for a friend. 🎧

P.S. It's advisable to look at everything 💅 Neal Brennan does in comedy as scripted...everything. Maybe if you do, you could get a job writing for him! 😉
