[@kevinbear4873]

There’s a classic line- something like “I laugh because if I didn’t, I’d cry…” 💐

[@matrix2297]

Russell utterly captivated me once I was old enough to understand/consume his humour. I was mesmerised by how totally masterful he was at commanding a room. He would have a whole studio in the palm of his hands - very few comedians can do that when they're not performing their material. For Russell, the present moment is an act of improvisation and his comedic prowess and command of language is able to have its way. Jordan Peterson once said that the most dangerous thing you can be is: articulate, and upon reflection, it was this weaponry which Brand wielded so masterfully, that I was drawn to. His evolution is very commendable. He was actually one of the people who got me interested, at 16, in world affairs, because the way he would present information on 'Trew News' was a totally new format, that delivered information quickly, thought-provokingly and with his classic sardonicism throughout. Calling out Hugo Boss for making Nazi uniforms at the GQ awards will forever be one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.

Russell Brand is a legend and the perfect guest for this set up...the best one yet

[@jckeddy]

I loved Akaash's statement "If you meet and spend time with a truly religious person, you will never knock religion again. Oh, this is what the good it can have." "We need to use it for the good." We have thrown religion out because people use the power of religion for unhealthy selfish and evil purposes. We need to take it back for its intended purpose of helping people make sense of our existence in relationship to those around us which is simple yet complicated depending on the circumstances.

[@dane4265]

He's obviously not been outside an abortion clinic with a truly religious person!

[@marchfifth1754]

No, there is no good. Especially secular monotheistic religions. Don't pick and choose what to preach or practice those books are disgusting. They talk about rape, murder, mutilation, slavery and they allow all of it. We don't need a book to teach us morality, they have no place in modern society.

[@HExtraordinaire]

Wendigoon is a good example of a good religious person

[@jckeddy]

Sorry, you haven't met a truly religious person that Akassh was referring to. I don't disagree that there have been, are, and will be religious people that have done horrible things. However, I know that history has also shown us numerous religious people that made the world a better place.

[@lettheloveflow]

The problem is organised religion which make people sheep. And tries to convert others into their religion.

[@gnolrevilo]

When Andrew talked about his brother as if he were God really made me tear up. Thanks for the awesome pod, guys.

[@sambor]

I would not expect him to be on the pod but it makes perfect sense. The boys are killing it with UK🇬🇧 guests.

[@vantasticvanessa]

Thank you for this 🙏🏾 I knew my day was going to Rock and then I saw this!!! The perfect combo of my FAVORITE comedians 🦋

'I feel like gods got my back, if I'm behaving properly' I like that

[@tyroneevans3202]

I have to be honest and say I didn’t like Russell much back in the day but he is now one of my favourite personalities. What I didn’t realise back then, which is on me, was that for someone who talks so much he also really listens, and listens intently. Its highlighted at 51:10 when Akaash was making a point and then Russell gave a genuine smile at the end. Brilliant show.

[@TheKomentor]

06:01 How does Akaash not know that being an Indian you are not supposed to place your foot that close to another person's body? You are not supposed to even accidentally touch a person with your foot. It is like insulting the person.

[@Omnitual]

@@TheKomentor and he's in a social environment where that means nothing. Notice how no one cared? You shouldnt either

[@Straydingo]

Snap,. I totally agree with you.

[@svega1998]

Russell Brand has quickly gone from the most profane to the most profound celebrity to me. Loved him the whole way through.

[@noisemagician]

''Profound'' damn, that's sad. He talks a lot but says nothing. No substance, all style...

[@svega1998]

@@noisemagician Yeah ofc he gets cookey but you gotta learn to take some of it with a grain of salt. As should be the case with anyone sharing opinions. Just because he gets wild when trying to make sense of the universe and reality and all that doesn’t mean it’s all bullshit or all else he says is bullshit. No one knows what’s going on lmao. We’re all learning yknow?

[@Psilovibinn]

@@noisemagician you really took nothing useful from what he said ? Interesting

[@gnielsen07]

@@noisemagician his wisdom on spirituality is valuable

[@noisemagician]

@@Psilovibinn It is indeed interesting, apparently you have learned quite a bit. Care to share your newfound wisdom? What useful piece of information you will apply in your life have you gained from this? Just because I am feeling generous today, let's make it easier. What exactly did you learn?

[@ThomSonnyYeah]

Andrew is a brilliant interviewer! 10x better than any late night host. Really appreciate the thought behind the questions.

[@AskAW]

That's an unfair comparison. Late night host have hefty salaries which ensure they don't get out of order. Andrew is free from censorship. He can't be compared to a network television host.

[@pseudonayme7717]

@@AskAW That's true, but I would wager he is about 20 IQ points higher than most late night hosts. Not to denigrate some of those guys, it's just obvious Schultz is a very intelligent individual.

[@ElijahW_]

Man rewatching this classic and damn Russell needs to be on again

[@joeyjennings4470]

Never been so sad a podcast ended. Guess I have to just immediately listen again…

[@Bolingo007]

Akash impresses me everyday with his active listening skills.

[@xcaluhbration]

Right? I don't see enough comments acknowledging that skill of his. Man, I SUCK at that and it's been super hard to develop but it's worth it.

[@double_d_8885]

I love how he talks to everyone equally he doesn't dismiss anyone.

[@hannaharrison6297]

This is exactly what I needed, when I didn’t know I needed it. I just gained so much respect for Andrew and the crew, R. Brand is a gem on many levels. We all have lessons to learn and some are more prominent than others… We should all be learning by degrees. ‘If life keeps askin’ you the same questions, you ain’t learnin’ the lessons’… -The Grouch When you stop growing taller, start growing smarter. Otherwise you’re just asleep or the walking dead. We can all be better and do better, I’m sincerely wishing everyone the best in this attempt at progression. Two steps forward, one step backward, but always be moving forward. Seek and understand the divine paradoxes of this life, they can all be reconciled.

[@kszela93]

Went back to a Rogan Russel pod from 3 years ago. Watching his growth and evolution has been amazing to watch. The way he can articulate his thoughts, his ability to listen and bring out the best in others is truly motivating and inspiring

[@nanivogel4453]

It's always so amazing for me to see how Russell takes such care to know the names of each person when it comes to a podcast or show and take real care when listening to them saying their names before he talks to them. I just really appreciate it. He's so awesome!

[@nanivogel4453]

And every time I watch him I learn so many new words!

[@CITRUS--]

That kept shocking me, he was so conscious of addressing them in that manor. When he got to Alex I was so happy but surprised. Especially in this episode cause Al was just observing and absorbing, not really saying much…. then an hour into the pod he asks a direct question and Russel addresses him by his first name. Honestly don’t think the pod has ever had another guess do that. Great to see

[@nanivogel4453]

@@CITRUS-- exactly love that you noticed that as well... He's such a well spoken polite and respectful man! We all can learn a lot from him

[@MylezNevison]

He is fully present and conscious not only in himself but of every being in the room, th4 room itself and us the invisible listeners...Trully brilliant man. The word l learnt from him today was misanthropy. Now my dumb ass knows 3 "mis-" words: mis-ogyny, mis-andry & mis-anthropy. I feel a bit smarter listening to him😆

Andrew is a ball of energy and master of comedy, was great to see him able to adjust to a guest like Russell - this episode was a great conversation, some great topics discussed and some profound points put forward. Keep killing it Flagrant boys.

This is what podcasts are supposed to be like.

[@freethesoultv]

Started my morning off with this episode, absolutely loved it I could listen to Russel talk for hours ! You guys touched on so many awesome topics

[@dvs_musik]

I’ve never seen Andrew genuinely enjoy himself in a podcast.. he just loves it

[@blxckfyre]

LEGENDARY! Flagrant to the world! killing it with these guests

[@zergnub7426]

That stongcoffee company ad at 45:00 is the best ad I've ever seen.

[@yourhealthcompass]

Agree: abundance is a state of mind, enough is relative. Dismantling systems of oppression requires switching out of scarcity mindsets, and that requires a lot of inner work. I'm glad to see the boys dive into some of these conversations. Side note: Akaash you cannot call yourself Indian and rely on toilet paper. BIDET bro. Wash that asshole with water don't scrape it, no one cleans off shit from themselves with just paper let's move on🤣

[@kurrenbhalla6990]

Dude 100%, us Indians have upgraded to the modern bidets bro, catch up Akash!

[@EMPERORSPROTECTION-TERRA4LIFE]

how do you clean your asshole in the bidet. describe the process for me in detail.

[@lukemclellan2141]

Maybe he uses toilet paper to pat himself dry afterwards, dunno

[@calilion1360]

I find the paper first than water is the best

[@kurrenbhalla6990]

True true, TP, bidet, then TP for a pat down is the best move.

[@grantgaylord9490]

Awesome to see Russel talk about spiritual awakening on mainstream podcasts. I think is going to pick up more in mainstream culture as things get harder and crazier, as people are desperate for some grounding

[@CW19941]

This podcast was very thought provoking and having Russel on is so key to having an open mind. Very intelligent discussion and comedy thrown in makes this a perfect podcast🤟🏻🤌🏻

[@neaevangelina1682]

Only watched because Russell is always a pleasure! Glad to see you guys have an interesting conversation with him.
