Gabriel Iglesias | Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan 

The values that Gabriel’s mom put into him are the same I’m trying to impress into my children. Pure kindness. Great guest.

I really love how many comedians are so comfortable with Neal.

"Take down the wall. The emotional wall" LOL

I was FEELING the whole "older people in the family fighting and the younger generations watched that bullshit and said, "Yeah, no. We're not doing that." part about 25 minutes in. So true with me and my cousins...on BOTH sides. Damn older people fighting over nonsense and pride all the time. Anyway - loving it - great episode!

20 yrs ago I was in the military and Fluffy hit the comic scene. He is hilarious and very talented at his craft. Thanks for the laughs ! - 🇺🇸 Veteran

Saw Fluffy in Redding Ca. A few years back .. his performance was great , but beyond that he stayed and talked to the crowd for 40 min after his act was done just hanging out and chatting it was the most personal show I’ve ever been to. . This podcast helps me remember that y’all are a lot like us we are all human .. I started microdosing mushrooms about a year ago partly because of watching Neal talk about his own journey with psychedelics , thank you for helping me find some sanity in my crazy ass life .

This was so warm I loved this. Iglesias is my favorite from high school. Warm kind, embarrassingly talented. Good guest Neal. This guys is super. 🎉

This is probably one of my favorite episodes. He’s such a funny good guy.

Gabe funny as hell but a genuine heart of gold! 💛 His work is essential (the Mexican kiddo who made good). Gab is important to the American comic landscape. Sweet Guy! ❤🎉❤🎉

What a charming guy. Great to get to know him better.

Gabriel’s performed everywhere, and he is killing it on Netflix. And even with all that I still feel like people underate him. One day I think people will look back and realize what an amazing comedian he is. He’s not clean, but he is close to it and killskills without being mean, or without throwing out a bunch of profanity. And it’s sad when I mention him on Reddit People always just call him that fat, comedian, who jokes about food or whatever. He’s so much more than that.

Funny guy. Good human being. I am so glad I found this series!

As someone who weighed 515lbs at my heaviest, I am glad to see Gabriel getting a little healthier. Neal dismisses the difficulty of weight loss too easily.

NEAL!! This collection of interviews is top fucking drawer

2 emotionally mature comedians... Who knew??? What a great conversation and even better growth potential for everyone who watches and, hopefully, listens to what is being said regarding personal responsibility and growth. This one was absolutely" outta the ballpark," guys!!! Continued love, respect, and good vibes to both of you. NOICE!!!❤

I'm not gonna lie, Neil, I'm with Fluffy. I'm a firm believer in shame😌😁Loving the blocks pod.👏👏👏🔥👍

Great podcast! Just wanted to point out that Fluffy’s pronunciation of Ganesh is the correct one.

Gabriel You are so great! Loved Mr. Iglesias on Netflix!!!! It was such a comfort watch lol.

Neal - you are good at getting people to open up.

Another great episode Neal! Thank you!!

Great conversation! Thanks to both!

Loved it! Also the bing noise when he said type 2 diabetes made me audibly laugh in my office

I think when you stop doing some kind of habit that might displace you consciously, like drinking for example and then you realize something about yourself. That means you were doing the habit to run away from facing this part of you.

This was amazing, and very therapeutic. Thank you fellas 🌹

Another great Ep.

Awesome chat . Love this guy

Great podcast 👏 keep them coming 👍.

Day seven of having the closing theme stuck in my head. I had almost forgotten about it and then todays episode dropped, and now it's back. 🎼🎶😂

Saw Gabriel at the Brea Improv on Christmas Day... A true gentleman and kind man...who is fuckn HILARIOUS 😂. I wish him all the best. Thanks for this one, Neal. ❤️🙏🏽🥰

Fluffy is a treasure ❤

Beautiful interview. Kisses hugs love from South Texas...Mucho Gusto 🥰😇

What a good dude. Great episode.

Ay Gabrielito es un genio. We love you!!! Keep representing the optimism, hard work and affability of our Latino communities. Keep shinning!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Oh this is gonna be good!🎉🎉🎉

So I just went from liking Gabriel to falling in love with Gabriel. Genuine ❤

Great episode 🎉👏

Love Fluffy!!!💖

I relate soo hard when Gabriel said his siblings told him “you got a different mom!” I have 6 brothers, 5 older. I’m the only girl though and my baby brother is 7 years younger.

love it.

Neal and Gabriel should do a movie together

Enlightening.

That's a great way to bring up a child... expose to many different beliefs and let them choose their path.

Super nice guy, met him in Las Vegas in the middle of Las Vegas Blvd.

I had the same T-shirt as Gabriel back in 1990-1992. I’m jealous, I wish I still had it

Gabriel seems to well adjusted to be a stand-up.

Love that shirt Gabe! Classic 🤘

Awesome interview and Gabe repn "TMNT" 🥳

❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂 love you fluffy!!!!! Thanks for you

Love Fluffy. Best comedian ever❤

Fluffy!

I like Gabe even more now

I'm not in to celebrities, but I'd love to meet these guys.

For the alg. Glad the Editor is playing around a bit more with their decisions!

“I could work out… but Russia man” brilliant

Great show. I laughed my ass off.

I need to work "Energetically Fluffy" I to my day-to-day vernacular. 😂

love you Neal. Hi Fluffy 🤣🥰😇

Fluffy is a vibe

Gabriel is such a great dude. I loved his Netflix show. it was a little corny but I liked it.

intro and outro song 10/10

I love fluffy, learned more about him!! But Neal pls stop interrupting!!

Fluffy and Snoop in Long Beach are staples. He is hilarious !

Back when I was working at an Improv comedy club about 10 or 12 years ago, Gabriel Iglesias came an performed there. And one thing we the employees would soon discover, apparently in some previous Gabriel show, perhaps a special, he mentioned something about how much he liked cake. And ever since then, at every performance he would be at, people would bring up cakes and pies to give to him. Both store bought and homemade. He would literally have a dozen cakes or more by the end of the night. Now I felt for Gabriel who was dealing with a weight problem, to have all these delicious treats shoved into his face. Fortunately for us employees, he would give the vast majority of them to us. So I got to have one of Gabriels chocolate cakes and a pie (don't recall what kind now) to take home. I just started the video, so I don't know if this will be brought up or not.

Made my therapist laugh out loud once: that was a good day.

As always a great episode, next week Bo Burnham?🤞

Wow this is probably the biggest guest you've had!

Neal, Kevin's hinted at having you on his show. I think a fan mentioned it.

When fluffy started talking about his brother I think Neil shouldn't have interrupted him, lol. He was really opening up.

Not a fan of his comedy but he seems like a great, down to Earth guy. That and his VW collection is insane!

Gab's moral compass clearly came from Splinter.

The only comedian that can tell his old jokes on stage, and still kill!

I believe the reason why the youngest born are more apt to be funny, was due to the fact that that was the only thing the youngest could do to get things. You were generally the smallest, at least at first. So you couldn't muscle your way around your siblings. The best you could do was to make them laugh. Plus it was also the way the youngest and smallest could get attention.

Gabriel was soo kind to Neal as Neal stepped all over the information.

TURTLE POWER!!!!!

Love Fluffy! Type 2 Diabetes is reversible. If you are dealing with any chronic disease please seek out a Functional Medicine doctor.

Can your vision get blurry if you are hypoglycemic, if your blood sugar is too low? Because my vision often gets blurry when I do fasting for long periods

You cannot ask people these personal, vulnerable questions, and then talk over them the whole time… You just can’t. Lol

Neals autism a bit strong in this one. I would like to see him interview Jordan Schlansky.

wheres binx?

Love Gabriel. He is the best. He needs to go see Tyler Henry.

there's parenting books guys

Gabriel shared with joan rivers he does free professionally done pictures with fans after shows with a photographer he pays.

Fluffy looking slimmer and slimmer the richer his dog gets😂

That TMNT shirt is 🔥

do you produce video on other platforms other then youtube. youtube has decided they dont want my (add blocking) presence anymore

Mike McDaniel guest request

Fluffy is so transparent

MURICA!

I was called " pleasantly plump" or " big boned "& also " husky".

Gabriel pronounced Ganesh correctly- or at least better than Neal!

fluff dogg

Ganish is very close to knish, he's right

Honestly, I get the depression

Growing up is realizing you’re only 2 years older than Frankie 😂

No neal - the youngest gets the best - the older kids had to live through younger hard working stressed out parents (kids all piled into one bedroom). By the time the youngest comes along the parents have given up & and are tired & you not only get your own room, you get worn out parents who don't need to prove anything anymore. So its easy to be funny when your not living in a boot camp.

hmm midway through, Gabe, you can’t be mad if people don’t accept your apology immediately after you’ve been yelling at them.. that’s manipulative.

So when Neal doesn't know the guest that well, he tries to be funny and mess them up. This suggests that when Neal is sincere with a guest he knows well, he trying to me them up. Cut back to him telling Jimmy Carr "I love you."

I’m here for Gabriel Iglesias, but the interviewer needs to learn how to educate himself and learn as much as possible about his guest PRIOR to the interviews.

As a person who likes to protect others, I always come off controlling even if I am doing whats in the best interest of the party. 47yo and Ill never figure it out and will be lonely until the day I die. - 🇺🇸 Veteran
