Welcome!
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

I've reverted your edits to Neal Brennan's page with regards to his date of birth. While it is true that he stated he was born in October of 1973 in the first The Champs podcast episode with Jerrod Carmichael, according to Wikipedia's guidelines we should be avoiding self published sources, particularly without a secondary reference from a reliable third party source. In addition, Neal's own contentions about his age have varied - for instance in this interview on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast which aired on April 12, 2012 (event occurs at 51:28) he stated that he was 37 years old, so if he had not yet celebrated his birthday that would make his birth year 1975 and if he had already celebrated his birthday that would make his birth year 1974. I've discussed the varied info I found in researching his date of birth on the article's talk page.

In addition, when citing a podcast as a reference you might consider using the cite podcast; the cite news template is intended specifically for news sources.
