Summary

Neal Brennan has never been afraid to share his thoughts on any topic... including his unfiltered opinions on Dan. Dan Le Batard always looks forward to getting together with his friend, Neal Brennan, the multi-hyphenate comedian, writer, director, producer, and podcast host ("Blocks with Neal Brennan")... even though he's a little scared of the advice Neal shares on how to be creative in an ever-changing industry, maintaining the highest work ethic and standards even after all this time, and oh yeah, not annoying everyone in the process. They also talk about why Kevin Durant is an all-time (misunderstood) great, Dave Chappelle's continued influence, and the comedy greats of today.
