About this episode

Rory Scovel joins Neal Brennan to talk about being born into grief—his mother died on his first birthday—and how losing his dad in 2020 reshaped his standup, his parenting, and the way he thinks about aging and death. Plus: learning to read at 44, improvising his entire show every night, asking AI about death, Leonardo DiCaprio playing a father, ADHD, marriage, and more. 👍 Like, Comment & Subscribe for the Algo 👍 00:00 Bombing without a fight 06:43 ADHD 22:36 Overthinking Depression & Catholic Guilt 27:16 Sponsor: Tushy 29:45 Sponsor: Quince 31:32 Grief 51:26 Death 58:26 Sponsor: ZocDoc 1:01:41 Sponsor: HexClad 1:03:30 Parenting & Breaking the Cycle 1:14:15 Aging 1:21:33 Being an available husband Thanks to our sponsors! 3 Million Butts Love TUSHY.
