Fantastic interview with great depth that shines a light on human tragedy and struggles, as well as managing complex situations. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MrJules1977]

I have always loved listening to ruby, she is so honest and intelligent, i have bipolar and she has made me feel better about myself. Stephen fry is also a great help to folks, great video, thanks.

[@rohypnotist6263]

Hearing Stephen admit that he self medicated with coke for years made me realize that I was in the same boat and it made me get help . Been doing better for a decade now . Carrie fisher also did a lot for people with disorders

[@MrJules1977]

@@rohypnotist6263 well done.

[@TheOldBag2012]

🙌Thanks so much for this Awesome Interview. Ruby Wax is an Amazing Ambassador with Her talks on mental Health & what She has been through. Krishnan Guru-Murthy 10/10 on the questions that You asked & the attention You gave.

[@gamingtonight1526]

With the climate crisis getting worse and worse, seemingly every month, good luck with her fight to deal with mental illness!

[@loonylinda]

life is Hell..i never thought we would ever see the time life would be so dismal. I have anxiety and depression, have all my life, i am more frazzled now than i have ever been...we need to find ways to cope with these negative feelings. Well done Ruby i really enjoyed your interview.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Brilliant interview. Ruby is a breath of fresh air.👍😊💙

[@Nicole-zq2ur]

Ruby Wax, what a heroine! What a body of work! An example to us all whether we're frazzled or not. Thanks.

[@1984Skynet]

You are still relevant, sharing your wounds is very inspiring for all of us. Always thought you were cool and funny. Love from Australia

[@slartibartfast7921]

The monetization of news, and by extension our own endocrine system needs to be addressed. It’s the same with soaps etc, but that stuff is just junk, it’s less insidious. Love Ruby 👏🏻

[@livp1835]

Ruby is a National Treasure, should be made a Dame. A fan from Australia Ps. I predict a world speaking tour soon, dont forget Oz.

[@janegoodfellow1529]

So sad that another breakdown lay ahead of her. But her illness, the illness so many of us suffer from, is always lurking, even when we put in the work to try to stay well. And she got through it once again, which is encouraging and hopeful for the rest of us. Both Ruby and Krishnan are superb here.

[@1984Skynet]

Love this interview!!

[@joshuadooley5236]

Obsessed with anything ruby does. All her accolades speak for themselves. But ive rewatched almost every interview shes done literally 10 times.

[@alicesladdin829]

?! Including her Black Dog interrogation of Sinead O'Connor whose first sentence is about the misuse of the term "crazy" count how many times Wax then drops this "c" word... dont turn off before the disgraceful finale where she grabs Sinead by the head like the Spanish Soccer fknut saying "getting a buzzcut at fifteen (sic) IS nuts" Incomparably beautiful Sinead is agog at the rudeness Wax"s own hair like Trump x Joan Collins in cleaning- lady-red...

[@parkash9999]

Awesome interview of Ruby Wax. Krishnan and Rachel Evans, great work.

[@sararichardson737]

And she looks fantastic to boot. Good Wax!

[@anthonycbrown1952]

She looks great and healthy. Loved when she did her style of entertainment / interviews

Yep, that mindfulness works wonders.

I’ll never forget that look on Don King’s face.

[@jardinekelso]

Brilliant...how can I work with you ?

[@Oughut88]

Ruby has a beautiful face and such a charming disposition. That she doesn’t know it makes her even more endearing.

[@re7416]

😳😳 | Sorry - Let's tell the truth here | Ruby always looked handsome and bright and quizzical | She's CLEARLY had some type of cosmetic procedure - 01:25 for a bit would suggest cheek implants and buccal fat removal. Additionally her lips...(especially the top one)...seem quite 'trouty' I'm absolutely shocked - I met her a few times & bar her depressions...she seemed to really have a handle on celebrity life...(and all its vagaries.) In doing what-ever she's had done...she's become as inadequate & shallow as the luminaries she gently poked fun at. What makes her desent into this narcissistic dark hole even more horrific is the fact she's so intelligent & ought to be able to "out think" her perceived need 4 wot-ever she's had done. I think she outta spend more time with Jenny Saunders. (There's an individual who faces the world with the face of the life she's lived 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼) So just gets more & more captivating. Ditto J. Lumley. | Haven't seen her stuffing her face with fillers. Yet all 3 are friends | Ruby - a terrible, terrible, terrible mistake 😳😥 I'm stunned.

The imported crime wave It's really incredibly simple. The aging of the population has meant that some countries do not have enough criminals of its own and to keep the police in full employment it has been necessary to import criminals to ensure that enough crimes are committed. Even then, the supply is insufficient, so the police have to be diverted to investigating mean tweets, having little else to do.

[@Mugairyuiai]

Such a lack of depth here, especially from the presenter. Considering he's been in the media for so long, it's astonishing.

[@alicesladdin829]

wtf re husband I didnt really like him that much......narcs are always alone...

[@calderarecords]

"We need stress or else we have no mojo" I'm out. Good luck with it all.

[@jardinekelso]

All of us to varying degrees. Some to the final degree. So thsnk you Ruby .

[@jardinekelso]

There is an optimum level but too much can destroy

[@Iranian.Shia-kurd]

She was barmy, and now she has gone nuts as well ! She says by looking at the MRI of a brain she can see what is going-on!! In 2004, Wax falsely claimed that Irish broadcaster Patricia Danaher had made "racist" and "anti-Semitic" remarks about her in an interview for Ulster Television. Wax's legal team had to apologize in court, accepting that Danaher had not made any racist or anti-Semitic statements.

[@alicesladdin829]

Sheesh! You got through the radar...my comments keep getting deleted!

@@alicesladdin829 Your comments keep getting deleted by JewTube? Fight back, don't surrender. Make 100s of accounts and keep fighting

Ruby Wax 'loves' Bill Gates. Anyone that thinks that dictator Gates is a human being worthy of love has lost my vote. She's as bad as the rest. Lining her own nest so she's alright Jack.

[@israeldiegoriveragenius2th164]

We have a moral duty not to comply. No to discriminatory vaccine passports and mandates, it is an utter disgrace. This must not happen England. Will never vote Labour or Tory again.

“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah, at John 4: 24) - So never worship and pray in the way of religions (not even in the way of Catholics nor Christianity) because religions are all led by the many blind guides and false prophets of whom Jesus had already warned us to beware of almost 2,000 years ago. When he alone (in the name of Immanuel) is the Son of Man and the true Prophet sent by God, to be always our one Teacher and to set us free from all religions… These are the words of the Lord God: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you [Moses] from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth.” - (at Deuteronomy 18: 18) - “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: A young woman is with child, and she will bear a son, and will call him Immanuel.” [“God is with us”] - (The Prophet Isaiah 7: 14) - “If you have ears to hear, then hear.” - (Jesus in the name of Immanuel the Messiah, at Mark 4: 23) - “In truth I tell you, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me, has hold of eternal life and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life.” - (at John 5: 24) - “You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - (John 8: 32) - “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Matthew 6: 6-15) - “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) - “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) - “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” (Matthew 7: 12-14) - “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) - “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (Matthew 7: 15-16) - ‘Why do you keep calling me “Lord, Lord,”-and never do what I tell you?’ - (Luke 6: 46) - “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) - “Whoever will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) - “Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) - “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) - “The disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a child, set him in front of them, and said, ‘I tell you this: unless you turn round and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Let a man humble himself till he is like this child, and he will be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. But if a man is a cause of stumbling to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Alas for the world that such causes of stumbling arise! Come they must, but woe betide the man through who they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) - “Though many are called, few are chosen.” - (Matthew 22: 14) - “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) - “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) - “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) - “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” - (Matthew 24: 4) - “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) - "Stay awake, and pray that you may be spared the test: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." - (Matthew 26: 41) - “However, when he comes who is the Spirit of truth; he will guide you into all the truth.” - (John 16: 13) - Yours always, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Friday the 21st of January 2022: - (Matthew 5: 14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, in the way prescribed above, before it is too late
