Mark Normand: I Wish I Knew

Mark Normand returns to Blocks with Neal Brennan to talk about what he wishes he knew sooner: how much time a phone can steal, why trying so hard to be the funny guy can backfire, and why getting older doesn’t automatically make you feel like an adult.Mark and Neal also get into fatherhood, anxiety, drinking, the old New York comedy scene, taking more photos, and trying to raise a kid without passing down all your own baggage. ---------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to ⁨@marknormand⁩ -------------------------- CHAPTERS 00:00 Mark Normand returns / I Wish I Knew 03:46 Always needing to be productive 05:49 How fatherhood changes you 10:21 Netflix, YouTube & building a comedy career 12:12 “I thought the world would be more fun” 21:40 Sponsor: Huel 23:57 Sponsor: Tushy 26:03 Sponsor: ZocDoc 28:20 Phone addiction & the pressure to post 35:40 Trying too hard to be the funny guy 40:07 Coming up in New York comedy 44:48 The old Comedy Cellar atmosphere 47:42 Friends who tell you the truth 50:14 Sponsor: Quince 52:04 Sponsor: Ultra 54:12 Remembering your life & taking photos 58:42 The pressure to be a good parent 1:04:01 Getting older doesn’t mean feeling grown up 1:11:40 Podcasts & staying connected 1:15:14 Wrap-up ---------------------------------------------------------- Follow Neal Brennan: https://www.instagram.com/nealbrennan https://twitter.com/nealbrennan https://www.tiktok.com/@mrnealbrennan Watch Neal Brennan: Crazy Good on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81728557 Watch Neal Brennan: Blocks on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81036234 Theme music by Electric Guest (unreleased).
