Russell Brand Achieves Enlightenment While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

In what may be the greatest tour de force in Hot Ones history, comedian and truthsayer Russell Brand transforms from a spice novice to a full-on capsaicin junkie while facing the wings of death. After bantering with host Sean Evans about everything from visiting Donald Trump's tower to being a West Ham United super fan, Brand finds that his consciousness is awakened by the hot sauce. Eventually, he's moved to freestyle an impromptu song for a very special Hot Ones fan. You don't want to miss this!

It's not an easy feat. Remember the horrible attempt at having celebrities sing "Imagine" on KZbin? No two lines were even in the same key. It's not easy if you don't have perfect pitch, as they proved, but Russell nailed it.

​@@trevorcook3129 I like old comments. There is no right or left just right and wrong. It seems to be that right and left in America is just another brainwashing tactic used to make you pick a side instead of hating both sides. Thats one of the reasons why the people fighting for same things as you are seem batshit insane to you. Its because both sides are wrong in many different ways. Its not about being left or right or picking a side its about being correct and trying to understand the problems and fixing it. Instead if you pick a side you are accepting the problems and letting them continue. The problems being pretty obvious to the poor or sick of this world and not the powerful and rich. I hope that isn't just gibberish sounding but i think just saying the words right or left is accepting that exact behaviour.

I’ve recently discovered Hot Ones and have been binge-watching these videos. This has to be one of my favorites so far!

“Carving my mouth up with razors of flavor” I can’t imagine being able to come up with something so poetic while being the in the midst of a fight-or-flight response to something I can’t see.

[@Gilgamesh_Prime]

Yo your music guy is ON POINT, he straight up scored Russel's song at the end there that was too sick

[@LordOfTheZombiez]

I had to go back and listen. Thanks for pointing that out. The music guy is an unsung hero no more!

[@Abeautyandabeast]

Gilgamesh Prime I’m listening currently. This is epic and needs more attention. hahaha

[@jennifernunya909]

Right!

[@caseycrosby867]

The music guy is a legit boss. He scored Russels improv at the end. Even the odd changing time signatures didn’t seem strange or “un-phrase-worthy”. Pretty impressive

[@ItchyDingo]

Thanks for pointing that out.. I've always been appreciative of the sound guy!

[@roddyrod583]

His vocabulary is stellar.

[@cnsummers4086]

Agreed. I'm a fan and writer of traditional lit & this man is a huge breath of fresh air. So quick, so eloquent.

[@lovelypacific]

Roddy Rod read his books, they are great too. Literally him in written form. I would actually argue that he speaks like a book so him in a book sounds more natural than his physical, speaking self

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

why are you so upset that people find him eloquent lmao

[@SharkeyStormcrow]

Coming from someone who doesn't sound eloquent in the slightest, I'll dismiss your opinion.

[@martindavis6472]

[@petebowman6275]

Dude, that' was the best episode I've seen! Super polite, great conversationalist, and ate all the wings in stride while professing to not be a hot food eater. I enjoyed the interview thoroughly.

[@anatolio8689]

12:53 - "What is 'Beyond Insanity'? Possibly another form of sanity." LOL

[@KortKramer]

From The Lone Deranger, 'There is an area of the mind that could be called unsane, beyond sanity, and yet not insane. Think of a circle with a fine split in it. At one end there's insanity. You go around the circle to sanity, and on the other end of the circle, close to insanity, but not insanity, is unsanity.'

[@bark-aholic6534]

"The more someone looks like a ball-bag, it's hard to see the divine within him". (me crying laughing) He's brilliant!

[@lilhill8460]

What is pho

[@andyf313]

Truely process the fact Russell doesn't enjoy spicy foods and watch him casually disarm "Da Bomb". He then resumes charismatic, intellectually engaging conversation whilst remaining elegantly articulate. Unexpected? Impressive? Mind Blowing? Yes.

@Dave Gilmour amen.. he'd actually try to make our country better.. instead of just enriching himself and friend.

[@MrEvldreamr]

@Dave Gilmour look, every celebrity that says they hate trump has literally said that hes a rly nice, quiet and sweet guy in person. The reality is, trump has been in the limelight for a very very long time and EVERYBODY loved him. They may not like his particular style of rhetoric, but thats all cult of personality, irl trump is actually not that bad of a person, hes just a master at marketing himself. I've met him once, my Soldiers met him a 2nd time on a detail he was extremely polite and well-mannered exactly like Brand says, so alot of what the media shows abt him is a marketing ploy.
