Every time Lawrence says something inappropriate or short sited and Louis gently corrects it so we can watch it without feeling awful about listening to it. Thank you, Louis! People are saying forgiving things about Lawrence in the comments as if to excuse him, I wonder if he's normally more evolved but was just nervous cause it was Louis Theroux?! Bless him.

[@BethFrecks]

This was unfortunately more of a struggle to watch than it ever should be! Lawrence, god, please, stop interrupting and cracking out one liners that aren’t funny. Louis Theroux is bloody gold and it was difficult to watch his wonderful flow and thoughts being halted. Shush man. Congrats Brian for getting on Louis, great accomplishment 👏 Louis was fabulous 🥰

[@MrTeaTwoSugars]

Agreed, I also found Brian's questions just insipid

[@stonestranger93]

Lawrence has such a deep seated need to be accepted as the funniest and smartest person in the room. Can tell Louis look right through him and was getting frustrated.

[@abbieedwards7]

So glad someone said it!

I agree, he seems to interrupt guests on a regular basis and it's frustrating. Just let them speak and answer the questions

[@JoeCoxon]

Completely agree. Full of really unfunny responses that you can tell throw the guest off what they were saying a little bit. Brian is a great interviewer but Lawrence just doesn't have the personality. I would love for Brian to do them on his own instead.

Great podcast. I do like Loz, his contributions are often very insightful and generally brings the questions to a deeper meaning and feel than Brian's line of questioning. However he needs to work on his timing. Being a co-host is definitely a skill. His interruptions when Louis was mid flow of a story were very jarring.

I've listened to this a few times now, as I do with most podcasts, and it's a great podcast. Brian has really really made himself into an absolute podcasting beast, very good questioning, and attempted to make the whole thing flow well. Lawrence, on the other hand, really needs to work on his timing and read the situation a bit better, instead of just almost losing control and feeling like he has to say something, especially when the guest is speaking and mid-conversation. At times, it felt almost cringy with Louis trying to get things back on track after Lawrence attempted to make a joke, which I don't think any of them hit well.

I'm sad to say that I couldn't watch until the end, the interview was great and Louis was interesting and insightful as always. Lawrence honestly ruined this, he is the single reason I couldn't watch until the end. This screaming for attention with his jokes and constant interrupting was insufferable. This isn't just bad interviewer etiquette it's damn rude!. People are watching because they are interested in hearing what the person you are interviewing has to say, the spotlight should be on them so stop trying to jump in whenever they try to say anything whatsoever. I really hope that things change in future interviews. True Geordie, you did absolutely amazing man 👏, you clearly are a very talented and warm interviewer so thank you, genuinely. Take care and have an awesome night.

Louis made jokes back to him several times so it wasn't this pathetic vie for attention that you are making it out to be. You wanted a stuck up "Inside the Actors Studio" type interview and you didn't get it so you are taking it out on someone who is just doing his job the way Geordie hired him to do it.

Fair play to Brian for for being a loyal friend and sticking with Lawrence. He’s absolutely insufferable. The more intelligent the guest the worse he gets.

[@fenianlewis]

Lawrence is impatient and interupts a lot, but he drived a lot of the conversation on this one. Feel this is a bit disrespectful. He knew way more about Louis' work on this one and asked a lot of very valuable questions. He was clearly nervous here, it's very apparent Lawrence admires Louis.

[@liamk87]

@@fenianlewis don’t agree with that at all. He disrupts as much as he drives. His inherent need to seem the most intelligent and funny in the room details the podcast multiple times. The fact I’m far from the only one making this point makes it my point.

[@Happyfaceshock]

@@liamk87 I’m not so sure, I agree with Lewis on this…. He made some pretty badly timed jokes, particularly in the first 1/3, but he had a lot to add, more than Brian imo, although Brian did bring some excellent questions and is an excellent interviewer in general, Lawrence really did a lot for this, you just have to look past some awkward moments. If you watch the mood, Louis does also engage with him a lot, and in terms of actual conversation and discussion, although not super common, I’d say the most engaged instances are between Lawrence and Louis, not with Brian. Overall I think Lawrence needs to hone his skill a lot more than Brian does, but to say he doesn’t have it is vastly missing talent

[@liamk87]

@@Happyfaceshock it’s not the fact I don’t think he is capable. I think it’s much more of an ego problem. Whilst Louis does engage him and responds, you can see at times he’s taken a back.

[@harrysmith4992]

Can already tell I’m going to enjoy this pod more than Dorian Yates’. Louis is such a legend.

[@josephhood-phipps9541]

Great video geordie, how far you’ve come is incredible and there’s really no stopping you at this rate

[@bolo4955]

Cringe

[@LuisLuLu98]

Dude I could listen to Louis for ages…such a sick pod! 🎙We need a part 2 🙏🏻

[@AjmalKhan-gy1xl]

I made it to 1:34:01 before giving up thanks to Lawrence… cheers mate, was looking forward to this one.

[@janine453]

Such a great podcast! Really interesting to hear the stories and self reflections come out. Absolutely scope for another one!

[@AAR111]

Incredible watch, such a fascinating man. Would love to see a part 2!

[@FootballTherapy]

Buzzing for this lads

[@craigkeogh00]

Genuinely one of the best podcasts I've ever watched i really hope you do a part 2

[@tommykelsall]

I think this is one of Geordie's best podcasts. Two hours well spent!

[@PandaEyes121]

Hey Geordie, what a banging podcast! You both smashed this; I just wished it was twice as long.

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

Oh stop it he’s my favourite human alive I need a cup of tea for this one!

[@darthscouser5255]

I bet you are wild at parties

[@LightningBoltzTV]

No kids then I guess ?

Yiiis Melaine he's effn great i'm gettin a brew aswell.

[@MH-bd9vb]

Your tea’s gonna get cold

[@tobiasmccallum9697]

Forget these jokers, in all serious Louis is a national treasure. I don't know one Brit who doesn't love him, you have great taste!!

[@georgegilling9375]

What an achievement for TG to finally get Louis Theroux on, congrats Brian!

[@blacktoothfox677]

Theroux was on Top Gear!? hehehe couldnt resist sorry

[@allicafilms2467]

Absolutely loved this interview! I became aware of Louis Theroux with My Scientology Movie & was instantly a fan of his work. Years later I would see him live at The State Theater(Sydney, Australia) By this point I had seen alot of his documentaries including his one on Autism in America which has since become one of my favourites of his work. Been mildly austic myself I felt extremely sorry for these kids & their parents & Loui captures these stressful yet beautiful moments of these parents doing there best for their children despite the challenges they face. He is an amazing guy & seeing him live talk about his life was both intriguing & interesting.

[@vinylviper1971]

40:10 I absolutely love it when Louis chats about the tunes he's into for a couple of reasons, his diction is so charmingly clear which highlights when he talks about hip hop/grime , and he knows his hip hop history which to anyone who is just being introduced to him would be surprising , in a good way

[@jamestaylor7593]

Lawrence doesn't always need to make a joke at any opportunity, takes the bite out the conversation. Great podcast though.

[@Hughbens]

He's not funny either

[@gspvideo5543]

Every obvious "low hanging fruit" he wants to take for a joke. Should've learned by now to let a conversation flow

[@jamestaylor7593]

@@gspvideo5543 always making a joke when a serious conversation is taking place. It takes the intensity away from the subject.

[@Gallardo575]

Agreed. Lawrence’s little quips are really annoying.

[@Hughbens]

The annoying bastard in a group is another way to put it

[@SonOfSassy]

What a podcast. Brian and Lawrence great job boys. Louie what a guest thank you for being so honest. Watch this start to finish 😂 it's 02:35 am now I'm up for work at 7am so goodnight gentlemen. Keep up the content 🤟 Need a part 2 can't wait for that. Hit that bell button 🤟

[@brianfitzpatrick9949]

Podcasts are good when the guests are interesting, what the hosts do is negligible

[@danielkarlsen2545]

This was amazing! Anything with Louis Theroux usually is. A part 2 would be brilliant.

[@jacksonvega7751]

This is a rather good interview, i see a lot of comments on Louis being interrupted too often but I kinda think that people forget that that’s what normal conversations are n that the natural feeling of the conversation is what makes it so compelling, especially as Louis is such a great conversationalist

[@chickenmanbob123]

I’m only 30 minutes in and it’s amazing but I wish they’d stop interrupting Louis, there are things he was talking about that I wanted to hear but was interrupted
