Sebastian Maniscalco | The Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan | EPISODE FOUR

I worked at an Improv comedy club for several years about 10 or 12 years ago. Of all the comedians that performed there that I had no knowledge of before they showed up, Sebastian Maniscalco was hands down my favorite. This was around the time when he was doing his Whats Wrong With People material. Which I think was his best show. I remember the first 2 nights he was there performing, I had the hardest time doing my duties, because I kept pausing to watch Sebastian just straight up killing it. I worked Friday and Saturday, and had Sunday off, at which time I got as many friends and family as I could to go see him for his Sunday show. And a few years later, after I had left the Improv, Sebastian came there again, and I once again got as many friends and family that I could to go see him again. Man he was good. I got to talk to him some when I was working at the Improv. A really nice personable guy to talk to.

Neal is grossly underrated. But is truly a genuine soul. Love how considerate and thoughtful everything he says is. “Oh by the way” “meaning…” are my fav Brennanisms

I’ve been performing to some degree my entire life and I cannot possibly relate to Sebastian more when he says he just wants to show up, do his thing, and go home. So nice to hear such a successful performer express the same desire. Makes me feel less insane. Thanks for this podcast, Neal. It’s excellent.

I'm a big fan of self-awareness. I never heard anyone put it SO well. Thanks, Neal!

I did not know how much I needed this podcast. It's like group therapy

Neil asks great questions! Huge Sebastian fan, so this was a treat. Loving this podcast. His Blocks comedy special was great.

Neal the goat. Saw him live in Philly, 10/10 show. This has to be one of the best podcasts out there.

This is an instant classic for me. Two very 'no nonsense' people🌷🎶🌈💐

I've never heard of this man, but I'm watching out of my love for Neal. I absolutely love this format. You're seriously healing the world, my dude. I want to see you doing this for decades lol

I'm happy as fuck that Neal has a podcast

Am here for some Sebastian!! Never heard of Neal but seems funny and thoughtful, glad I found this!.

So glad to see Sebastian talking to a sober adult, lol. The pathetic Bill Maher podcast episode was just painful. Poor Sebastian. This is wonderful.

I don't know how to express this right, but I love Neal* because he's one of the most considerate comics, like he considers every aspect of a thing/project/premise. Even the transition into the ads, actually discussing therapy and then going into a BetterHelp ad, and tying it in and making it funny!

Best interview ever . I am so fascinated by Sebastian and just love his honesty and humility ❤

Neal’s got a gem of a podcast. Definitely going to be one of the best soon

This podcast is very therapeutic and makes me feel like less of a freak.

So refreshing to see the old/real Sebastian that we know and love. Stay humble because that’s what we love about you. Sometimes you over shadow Pete on “THE CAST”… Take your mother’s advice. Stay humble…

The Pete and Sebastian Show podcast is one of the BEST FREE weekly podcasts out there, it's two seasoned very funny comics talking about their lives and it's so funny. Immigrant mentality, baby!

I love that two of the most notoriously antisocial comedians have such a smooth, easy way of getting along with one another. They clearly see eye to eye with one another, & have obvious mutual respect... it's nice to see. 😊

Ozone IV is amazing! Give it time!!
