when he was talking about cats planning to kill you, my cat was curled up on my lap then slowly looked up to me as he said it and now im not sure if i trust her xD

my cat actually cuddles me more when my depression gets bad

[@miaferrari958]

Yeah, the bit was hilarious, but it's not true, at least in my experience. My oldest cat is literally the reason I get out of bed when I'm depressed. I get up early to feed him and then get back to bed, and a couple minutes later he's trying to get me to get up again. He literally tries to lick my forehead and my eyelids (which F*CKING hurts, btw, lol) in what I think is an attempt to wash my face and doesn't stop until I'm up, and then he resumes his cat duties, lol.

@Chris Hansen don’t assume someone’s issues are self diagnosed. That’s very insensitive and rude.

[@melancholics_7808]

Well done to Russell for actually pronouncing Bowie right

[@davnield2646]

Ella M your icon is everything

[@katharina...]

Ow? I've never heard any other pronunciation... have I lived a sheltered life? :D

[@injunsun]

@@katharina... In the U.S., there is an alternate pronunciation of the same spelling, from some early founding family, pronounced, "Boo-ee," as in, Bowie, Maryland. The only reason I know is because that's where my brother was born. But as for the musician, every once in a while I'll hear someone mispronounce his name, but it's pretty rare.

[@AzzahLadd]

Did Russel not know that the guy in the gun shop is michael de santa

It's on BBC Two now, if I recall correctly.

"Would I lie to you" kind of beats it. Or maybe not. I'll have to think about it :D

The whole BBC is becoming pretty dismal to be honest. It's mostly just dross attempting to compete by appealing to people who like mindless programming.

[@lvicente270]

One of my favorite guests so far... That is amazing

[@atlas1330]

25:23 iconic the man explaining these sad stories is also the main character in a grand theft auto game 🤣 Ned Luke is whole asf though! Just an actor who also is down to earth. Was doing what was right. Making sure people were aware about gun safety

[@njm1259]

Remember watching this show when I was 11 and somehow found it funny and now I’m 20 and actually understand most of what he was saying it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen

[@themightyryden4458]

This was hilarious, just what I needed after a long day. I haven't been able to watch your show since we stopped paying for the television licence, so thank you for uploading it to KZbin

[@WillWalsheChess]

The Mighty Ryden why did you stop paying for tv

[@themightyryden4458]

To save money, and there wasn't much on that was worth watching at the time

[@querglh1696]

There's a lot more on the internet than on TV

[@ysoseriousbroski]

The Mighty Ryden u do know u still need a TV licence to watch TV on KZbin right ?

[@themightyryden4458]

Kieran Lee No, that's just untrue

[@djspellz3696]

The guy in the gun shop is Ned Luke and Ned Luke voiced Micheal in gta5

[@Michael-Oh]

omg i thought his voice was familiar!

[@topgamerroom]

Famous Jim thought I recognised him

[@captainkster]

Famous Jim yes hahaha I knew it

[@Moj1989]

Recognized his voice instantly! Also he kinda looks like his character.

[@rickybobby144]

All of the voice actors look alike to their characters just look at Trevor and his actor; he's also in the Walking Dead now.

[@user-nv6dv3kx1n]

The gun shop owner sounds like Michael from gta 5

[@AndriasDN]

It is michael from GTA 5

[@alexquinn5444]

O2 GaMing I was like, nah can't be, until he said shotgun!

[@youraverageotaku1093]

It is him and I was completely shocked.

[@SretnuhTV]

I find it rather disheartening that he had a legend on his show, Chris Hadfield ( a person with surreal life experiences and a gift to the world), and all people can talk about is a GTA voice actor.

[@Nushi1098]

To be fair, what makes Ned Luke (GTA's voice actor) memorable in this video is the fact that he's actively campaigning against gun use, by showing people what kind of reciprocations owning one could have, rather than it just being about him being in GTA 5

[@jdawn1982]

I'm so in love with Russell.

[@ketaminewomble2562]

The feels at the end...

[@edwardshields6691]

Russell, please open the small flash gun shops across the United States of America. I am a citizen of Quincy, Massachusetts in the United States, and I believe it would change the minds of so many Americans. It would be very helpful here especially in the deep South and in the Midwest where people believe that guns will protect them. There is no reason to order a rapidfire military weapon to keep in your home, or any kind of gun for that matter. You are correct in the statement when guns are kept in the homes people get killed. Keep up the excellent work, Russell!

[@irisaxs]

“They totz fugly”😂😂r

[@plutototoh]

That gun ad at the end was really amazing

I agree, but it hasn't made a difference in the US. It was also a video that was floating around Facebook last year. I remember b/c I reposted/shared it.

[@jasiebecknell3364]

His voice full-on jumps an octave at the end and I was not anticipating that.

[@user-mr1pw9fy4x]

I love that the person "selling" those guns was the voice actor of Michael from Gta5, morbidly hilarious

[@finbarscanlonwolf]

Hearing that description of going out into space, definitely makes me think that Armstrong never left the ground. In this guy you can almost feel how he felt, by the way he is describing it. And trying Pick which emotion & words could do that view & feelings justice.

[@snake3482]

By far the best intro ever

[@poisonedeyes1]

It is true! When u have alot of stress, sadness anger or fustration, ur cat(s) will stay around u more or ask for more attention because they can sense it. It's their way of trying to help. Dogs do it too. It's just more noticeable when they do it cuz they have the personality of just always being all up in ur face. My cats always do that to me. And because I know how they typically are, I notice when they r around more. Plus every single time, as soon as I start to cry or get angry, they immediately come and ask for attention. Other wise, they don't typically bug me much.

[@nahzook5452]

I loved seeing interviews with Chris Hadfield after he touched back down, coz he kept trying to let things float. he'd been up in space so long he kept forgetting about gravity when he got back
