Note to podcasters, you don't need to talk all the time, its about the guest, not you, just listen, especially with someone like this

Injecting sound effects, etc. throughout the podcast doesnāt add value. Itās formulaic and corny.

This last week I've watched 4 different podcasts with Carrot Top. Each one has been different and interesting to watch. He kept doing what he loved his way even through tough times, you gotta admire that. š§”

No one thinks more highly of themself than a comic. Talking about itās impossible to maintain a relationship bc youāre preoccupied thinking about jokes is so ludicrous. You donāt think people with more common jobs arenāt preoccupied thinking about how to put food on the table, how to pay rent or how to take care of their children? Cmon

I loved him on a morning cartoon show he used to do for kids. It was hilarious and awesome.
Seems like sweet guy which is awesome to see.

Got lucky enough to meet carrot top 20 years ago, and he was such a gracious gentleman. It's so nice to hear him talk.
My younger brother and I were walking out of the Luxor, just a couple idiot kids too young to gamble or anything just walking around in awe of the faux-majesty of the place. And as we were exiting, carrot top past us. And we were both like starstruck, and we just were polite and said hey man we really enjoy your stuff you know thank you. And he was so nice, he said yeah you're welcome very much I hope you guys have a nice day.

I stayed for the car crash – Oy Vey! I don't know how you kept yourself together, Neal. This dude's a mess. Scott, you come off as angry & volatile. Dude spoke Over Neal & seems aggressive. Scott is all ego; unlike Real Comics (Seinfeld, Chappelle). He loves to drop names – the same way the bass player of the Grateful Dead drops "Phil Bombs"! Dude – Pls don't wear my band's shirt & symbols , Scott – it's embarrassing – you are Far from a Deadhead (Far From Me – The Grateful Dead)

It feels like Neal accidentally hired a TikTok reaction video editor who's fighting their instincts and winning 90% of the time, but every so often they lose the battle.

I really enjoyed this. Thx to you both. Great interview, Neal. Interesting q's and youāre a good listener.
I always thought Carrot Top was painfully funny and clever. I never knew he was so sweet and thoughtful too. What a cool guy. ā¤

Favorite part about carrot top is how he will absolutely not let Neal cut him off š extremely satisfying!

Years ago I watched Carrot Top on tv. I laughed and afterward my mood was better. What more does anyone want from a comic?

He seems like a great guy. Never heard a bad word about him as a person.

Dude…Carrot Top rocks. I loved all the early sign and prop stuff. I think a lot of folks hate on it because they find it to be "easy" comedy. Like stuff they think they could write themselves…as if. A lot of the object association pun type jokes may seem obvious to some because human brains work alike, and tangential thoughts come and go. Making those thoughts compellingly funny and taking the time to source the object, or to write a joke about a found object if the thought arises that way instead….it's a heavy lift. Freakin icon. Thanks, Mr. Top.

He must have realized to embrace this as Humility is so appealing and carrot top is and sincere. He's a fucken pro. show in Vegas. Ive.been 5 times. All those fucken shows in vegas and my bro and I made sure to fit in carrot top 5 years in a row. In vegas, I saw Carlin and rickles. Thanks to my dad. I was like 21 and didn't even know who I was seeing

30:24 — "I will jump off the Luxor — well, actually if you jump off the Luxor it's not gonna hurt you…" was so unintentionally quick-witted and funny. I love that he immediately caught the error in his logic that he'd basically be sliding down the side of it because it's a pyramid.

Hey Neil, love the video! Quick question – what glasses frames are you wearing here? My prescription is super strong, so my lenses make my eyes look tiny and show the background on the sides. Your frames look like they'd solve that problem. Appreciate it thanks!

carrot top looks like he hits the weights quite hard… i wonder if hes taking testosterone… i'm pretty sure hes sort of old to have muscles like that

This is the hardest I've laughed in a while. I don't know why I didn't expect a seasoned comedian to not be hilarious, it's just that that happens so frequently on blocks

I donāt think it was personal and him not getting the gigs. I think he just wears eyeliner and mascara and nobody wants that on their stage.

Is Carrot Tops wig apart of his act or just his normal along with his makeup.

I actually know one of Carrot Top's previous managers, and they always speak very highly of him! ā¤ I've always been a fan of you Scott. I hope to meet you in person one day. šš»šš»
