Neal Brennan Has Tried a LOT of Things

Neal Brennan Has Tried a LOT of Things

If you’ve listened to our show before, you know that we recommend a period of trial and error to find a mental health treatment that works best for you. Nothing works for everyone, after all, so you have to see what you respond to. Neal Brennan is the embodiment of that concept and in this interview he reports back on how well or poorly it went for him trying Freudian therapy, antidepressants, transcranial magnetic stimulation, a special kind of TMS available in China, ketamine, ayahuasca, 5 MeO-DMT, and other solutions. The good news: Neal’s mental health is doing much better than it had been.

The not-so-good news: he went through some mind-blowingly bad horrific experiences along the way.

Neal’s latest standup special, Blocks, is available now on Netflix.

Josh Gondelman, the Good Boy of Comedy, is Somehow Just Fine. Gary Gulman is Baffled.

(takes a moment to secure tongue firmly in cheek)It would be rude to make fun of Josh Gondelman just because he’s a little strange. Or not strange. Instead, we’re going to learn from Josh about his ca...
