In this episode of Blocks, Neal Brennan sits down with
Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss to dismantle the "blocks" that have
shaped his life and career. From the massive social impact of his
Netflix special Jigsaw—which Daniel claims has led to over
350,000 breakups and hundreds of signed divorce papers—to the heavy
toll of relentless global touring, Daniel opens up with brutal
honesty. The two discuss Daniel's struggle with weed addiction, the
transition from needing constant stranger approval to finding
self-worth as a father, and the hilarious, high-stakes story of how
he ended up married to his ex-girlfriend’s younger sister. It's a
deep dive into self-loathing, the "quiet brain" of his wife, and
why being successful doesn't always mean being happy.
