All Gabriel Iglesias needs to do is to start going on walks.
Get a dog, that can go on the road with you. And you take that dog walking everyday. Your walking and healthy habits become theirs.
And you just made a new friend. Just long walks, do it for you and for a dog, it becomes a new habit, and it also is great for clearing your head.

As someone who weighed 515lbs at my heaviest, I am glad to see Gabriel getting a little healthier. Neal dismisses the difficulty of weight loss too easily.

I wonder if he's tried a personal trainer.

No neal – the youngest gets the best – the older kids had to live through younger hard working stressed out parents (kids all piled into one bedroom). By the time the youngest comes along the parents have given up & and are tired & you not only get your own room, you get worn out parents who don't need to prove anything anymore. So its easy to be funny when your not living in a boot camp.

Not a fan of his comedy but he seems like a great, down to Earth guy. That and his VW collection is insane!

As a person who likes to protect others, I always come off controlling even if I am doing whats in the best interest of the party. 47yo and Ill never figure it out and will be lonely until the day I die.

I relate soo hard when Gabriel said his siblings told him “you got a different mom!” I have 6 brothers, 5 older. I’m the only girl though and my baby brother is 7 years younger.

I think when you stop doing some kind of habit that might displace you consciously, like drinking for example and then you realize something about yourself. That means you were doing the habit to run away from facing this part of you.

I was FEELING the whole "older people in the family fighting and the younger generations watched that bullshit and said, "Yeah, no. We're not doing that." part about 25 minutes in. So true with me and my cousins…on BOTH sides. Damn older people fighting over nonsense and pride all the time. Anyway – loving it – great episode!

Saw Fluffy in Redding Ca. A few years back .. his performance was great , but beyond that he stayed and talked to the crowd for 40 min after his act was done just hanging out and chatting it was the most personal show I’ve ever been to. . This podcast helps me remember that y’all are a lot like us we are all human .. I started microdosing mushrooms about a year ago partly because of watching Neal talk about his own journey with psychedelics , thank you for helping me find some sanity in my crazy ass life .

I’m here for Gabriel Iglesias, but the interviewer needs to learn how to educate himself and learn as much as possible about his guest PRIOR to the interviews.

Neal needs to study or visit Scandinavia if he wants to know more about how instilling values and ethics in children without religion works…

Gabriel was soo kind to Neal as Neal stepped all over the information.

I believe the reason why the youngest born are more apt to be funny, was due to the fact that that was the only thing the youngest could do to get things. You were generally the smallest, at least at first. So you couldn't muscle your way around your siblings. The best you could do was to make them laugh. Plus it was also the way the youngest and smallest could get attention.

Back when I was working at an Improv comedy club about 10 or 12 years ago, Gabriel Iglesias came an performed there. And one thing we the employees would soon discover, apparently in some previous Gabriel show, perhaps a special, he mentioned something about how much he liked cake. And ever since then, at every performance he would be at, people would bring up cakes and pies to give to him. Both store bought and homemade. He would literally have a dozen cakes or more by the end of the night. Now I felt for Gabriel who was dealing with a weight problem, to have all these delicious treats shoved into his face. Fortunately for us employees, he would give the vast majority of them to us. So I got to have one of Gabriels chocolate cakes and a pie (don't recall what kind now) to take home. I just started the video, so I don't know if this will be brought up or not.

Can your vision get blurry if you are hypoglycemic, if your blood sugar is too low? Because my vision often gets blurry when I do fasting for long periods
