David's vibe trajectory over the years reminds me of Patton Oswalt where their initial writing was legendarily cynical and pessimistic, but you could always tell they were good guys who were working hard and growing. And now they are both older men with relationships and families who just want to focus on being happy and taking care of others. It's so sweet.

@CoolBeans95 because David was a big part of the alternative comedy scene and if you base your entire identity on being the opposite of the mainstream then you're constantly forced to adjust what that means, mostly out of spite. Oftentimes, that means anyone who finds success in the mainstream must have had to sell their soul to get it. That's all bulshit. People who think that way are usually just scared and need to find reasons why they're not successful. It's the Instinct David talks about, too always push back, even when dealing with fans, because somehow accepting praise lessons the value of his work. Most people grow out of it, when they realize that everybody's just trying to do their best, and none of it really matters anyway.

I've met David Cross 3 times, between 15 and 25 years ago after shows. While he didn't seem fully at ease, he was totally polite and respectful with me. This included the first time when I was really high and wayyy too excitedly peppering him with questions, for a while, he didn't walk away--I complimented him one last time and excused myself when I sensed he was maybe thinking about it. I'm happy to get confirmation from this that I escaped first so he didn't have to.

Special is number 4 right now on Netflix watched half last night while chilling in bed. Great stuff. One of the best specials I have seen.

Modest Mouse!! Nissan Murano!! THAT was the turning point of this mindset. Wow. David Cross took the words out of my mind
What an absolutely incredible EP!!! Thank you, we appreciate it.
Okay, I was at the dollar tree with a friend looking g at wrapping paper and I was like…this one is cheaper…she said they’re both a dollar. David cross, I hear you, bro!
Ive always liked David Cross, I like him better now and happy for him and his journey. Cheers!
LOVED the new special 🤘🏼🍿🍿🤘🏼
NEAL MY GUY YOUR NEW SPECIAL IS FANTASTIC! Thanks. This is a great episode of Blocks too. Love David. 🎉
I feel like I just heard David mention how great the twist in Bioshock was 😂. Must've been his own podcast.

There is an intermittent high-frequency interference sound in the audio on this episode at places like 55:50 - 55:52 that hurts the ears. Just an FYI! I love the show! ❤

I am so happy that they talked about video games. My wife and I love video games so much. They bring us together.
My favorite episode so far.
Damn! Neal knocking out these great guests!
Just watched "Crazy Good". Loved it. Wanted it to be even longer.
The Audition is the greatest sketch in the history of sketch comedy.

What an episode! David Cross gives off the same vibes as Rainn Wilson, unashamedly honest with as little ego as you can on a podcast about your blocks.
Neal, not that you’ll actually respond or likely read this, but your questions/comments about your girlfriend’s kid, you’d make a good dad. You’re capable. Not that you’re considering it. Not that you’re entertaining the idea, but so much of parenting is showing the kindness and openness to kids as you’re showing your guests on the podcast. They love to talk and get honest answers without overloading them.
'Let's go! Smelt it faster! It's gotta go to America!'
Makes me happy to know David Cross is a gamer and loved Life is Strange

Great episode! You're doing great work Neal!
"...I do play Russian roulette though."😂😂😂😂
Oh perfect this is why this is one of my favorite. Podcasts
“Literally anything that might come your way that is an inconvenience…” fuck yeah!
Well.. this is just perfect :) you guys just need to do a 90 min podcast with both of you and a guest...
Your new special was indeed special.
Grew up in GA and this is the first time I’ve ever heard Pink Dot explained. Blind Melon has a song with a line I always thought was “If I’m hungry at 4:30 in the morning, [think God] will deliver?” And it was not that long ago I saw the lyrics for the first time, and it actually says: “Pink Dot will deliver.” And I had no idea what that was, thought it was an ice cream place or something.
2 of my all time favorites, just yuckin' it up here. 😁👍 "...the substance, not comedy..." 🤣🤣🤣
I've met David Cross 3 times, between 15 and 25 years ago after shows. While he didn't seem fully at ease, he was totally polite and respectful with me. This included the first time when I was really high and wayyy too excitedly peppering him with questions, for a while, he didn't walk away--I complimented him one last time and excused myself when I sensed he was maybe thinking about it. I'm happy to get confirmation from this that I escaped first so he didn't have to.
Oh man, hearing David Cross go to bat for video games as an art form was wonderful
I’ve been friends with Amber’s cousin for years and I can’t find a way to use our friendship to meet David. 😂
This was my favorite ep so far, I love David Cross so much and watching Neal fan out and quote Mr Show & old stand up bits was the best.
The increasingly poor descions of Todd Margaret is the best title of a show ever
Loved the reference to the new special in the BetterHelp read!!!!
Good show. Very real.
"You've been Crossed, my man"

I agree with David about rich kids adjusting to hard times. Anecdotally, I have several trust fund friends that crumble when shit goes down. They literally lose their minds when dealing with adversity.

Someone ran a red light and hit my car as I was on Lacienega going towards Sunset on my way to the Comedy Store. The collision was so bad that a speaker flew out of the other guys car and hit a land rover and the land rovers airbags deployed. I was late to the store but still went to the show
It’s nice to meet up with the other 12 Mr Show fans here in the comments.
3:34 please excuse us commoners for having only 87 people in our lives David. And yes, that's how we, the younger generation, communicate with the people we know.

57:54 thats what ive been telling people for years, but some people just don't understand that video games are just as much of a time waster as watching tv, movies, and reading a book. Its entertainment and if you walk away learning something from entertainment, its completely valid. Thank you, david cross!
Great and funny episode.
Very funny special Neal. And Cross is a nice chaser.
What a crossover podcast!
I still - to this day - freeze up in fear at the thought of coming face to face with a super mutant in any D.C. subway stations. All thanks to Fallout 3...
I love the fact David isn't a yes man.
The breakfast club brought me here and you are funny dude man. Good luck on your special My guy.
DOPE! some real gamer talk 55:40 good stuff also bio shock is amazing
Great talk!! David Cross is the fucking man, Worst Daddy in the world had me fucking cryin!
1:03:05 There is a book by Benjamin Libet called “Mind Time: The Temporal Factor in Consciousness”. (Perspectives in Cognitive Neuroscience) where he describes the actual physiological/neurological reasons for why taking a walk or sleeping on something can advance a solution to a problem. I tried to find the specific page numbers, but it’s a dense read and I’m tired.

David is correct on poor people tend to adapt better. Formerly rich people will do what it takes to get by, but will always be depressed and feel like they deserve better. Most of the time. I'm sure there are some that could go with it, and adapt.
Amazing pod! Really cool to see this much openness from such a private man. Genius comic and so fun to watch play off Bob… ahhh I miss that Show! Ty for the clips!💖✨🤣
"Stick with it" LOL
58:00 Thank You, David! I kinda would love to see David chat vidoe games with Rogan just to see Rogan misconception of the whole genre and not all games is Quake.

Is it just my sound bar or is the audio weirdly clicky around the 51~56 minute mark?
There's a really intrusive high pitched glitch that starts happening over and over after the halfway point
27:45 subtly sliding in material from the new special. nice 😎
Old head here, and been a fan of David Cross since the Mr. Show days. Great episode, and I have him ranked 246 of the top comedians currently working on the East Coast. Also, Neal- "Crazy Good" is awesome. Such a radical departure from "3 Mics" and "Blocks" but genius funny.
