Stay Free - Russel Brand - Hollywood Is Failing! What Comes Next? — SF691

00:00:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand trying to bring real journalism to the American people.

00:00:17.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

00:00:18.000 Thanks for joining us this Friday for Stay Free with Russell Brand on Rumble.

00:00:22.000 What a platform this is.

00:00:24.000 Why?

00:00:25.000 You've got Bongino, why don't you?

00:00:27.000 You got Tim Paul, you got Crowder, you got Greenwald, you've got news coming at you 24-7 and on Stay Free with Russell Brand today. 0.98

00:00:34.000 We are joined by some spectacular young men with almost perfectly formed genitals. 0.97

00:00:40.000 I can near enough guarantee it. 0.79

00:00:41.000 Thanks for coming.

00:00:43.000 Why are you doing that face, Dave?

00:00:46.000 Just didn't want to mention.

00:00:48.000 Well, I don't know. 0.99

00:00:49.000 I'm not interested in men's genitals. 1.00

00:00:53.000 It's none of my business. 1.00

00:00:54.000 And also, Jake, he'll be there with his genitals. 0.99

00:00:58.000 And then Joe and Massey and their genitals are there too. 0.99

00:01:03.000 Joe embraced it with a cheeky side wink.

00:01:05.000 So then, all right, we've got a lot of things to talk about.

00:01:07.000 We're going to, of course, talk about the collapse of Hollywood and the various takeover deals and the centralization of media.

00:01:13.000 And in a sense, really, it's just the progression of centralized control, data capture, all that stuff, entertainment, distraction, as well as Armageddon and the matters going on in the Middle East now and whether it's all part of some dreadful geopolitical scheme.

00:01:28.000 But before we get into that, I want to just check what you, Joe, and Massey were talking about.

00:01:35.000 We're going on about your diet, are you, mate?

00:01:37.000 Yeah, well, not so much diet, more like eating disorder and falling off the wagon hard.

00:01:42.000 Yeah, yeah, I went in at the weekend.

00:01:45.000 Eating disorder.

00:01:46.000 Oh, man, with the sugar, the binge eating, the overeating.

00:01:50.000 Like, see, if I don't know if I should even say this, if I didn't hate throwing up, I'd probably be bulimic.

00:01:57.000 That's the fact of the matter.

00:01:57.000 Right?

00:01:59.000 Yeah, but I hate it.

00:02:00.000 I hate it.

00:02:01.000 It's horrible, isn't it?

00:02:02.000 But anyway, so I used to do it when I was a bulimic myself.

00:02:06.000 Yeah.

00:02:06.000 You want to commit to it?

00:02:07.000 If you want to be a bulk.

00:02:08.000 Yeah, when I was doing bulimic.

00:02:08.000 You actually blemick.

00:02:10.000 Yeah.

00:02:11.000 I've never gone in on that.

00:02:13.000 I've tried, but I didn't like it.

00:02:15.000 I didn't like the feeling. 1.00

00:02:16.000 I thought, fuck it. 1.00

00:02:18.000 I'll have to just exercise more tomorrow to make it. 1.00

00:02:20.000 That's probably why you're so fat.

00:02:25.000 Hey, listen, I've got three days sugar-free again.

00:02:29.000 I've been in the gym every day.

00:02:30.000 I've been doing a bit of boxing, a bit of weight, a bit of everything.

00:02:33.000 I saw him on his drive from the gym to the he looks very handsome and he looks ever so well.

00:02:40.000 All right, but yeah, bulimia is obviously terrible and it's really bad.

00:02:42.000 And if you've ever known any, like when you know, like, oh my God, teenage girls with anorexia and bulimia is a total, total nightmare.

00:02:50.000 And they're worse than drug addicts.

00:02:51.000 They're worse than drug addicts.

00:02:53.000 Like, have you ever tried to stop undoing it?

00:02:55.000 I thought I could use my skills.

00:02:55.000 I thought I had it.

00:02:57.000 Like one of my mates' daughters once, she had it.

00:03:00.000 And I just goes, oh, this is like addiction.

00:03:01.000 I'll be able to handle this.

00:03:02.000 Listen, you, you need to take step one.

00:03:04.000 I thought I'd solved it forever.

00:03:06.000 On the phone, on the way home, I got a phone call from them.

00:03:09.000 It was one of the worst things that I've ever been involved with.

00:03:12.000 Because addiction is normally where I feel like I flourish and thrive.

00:03:15.000 Like I can help people there because I know what I'm talking about when the furious where I actually know what I'm talking about rather than the constant guessing that constitutes 70% of this show.

00:03:23.000 And like, anyway, she just rang up like the dad did and went, she's using what you said to justify more anorexia. 0.99

00:03:32.000 And I was like, what?

00:03:33.000 Like, it was like a Chris Nolan, like, it was inception.

00:03:36.000 I didn't know where I was in reality anymore.

00:03:38.000 It was so confusing.

00:03:39.000 Anorexics are the worst.

00:03:40.000 That's what I'd say.

00:03:41.000 Like, of the addiction realm, like, there, you don't go near that.

00:03:45.000 Even other anorexic, I don't think, can handle it.

00:03:47.000 It's one of the worst things.

00:03:48.000 And also, it's the, I heard someone say, it's the undoing of, like, when your kid goes anorexic, it's like they're undoing all the nurture you gave them.

00:03:58.000 Like you feed them, you grow them, you love them, and they like, wow, they puke it out at you.

00:04:03.000 I thought, oh, God, that's so awful.

00:04:05.000 And I pray, don't know, we've all got daughters.

00:04:08.000 I pray for them.

00:04:09.000 I pray that they never go down that road.

00:04:10.000 We were watching a TV show the other day, like just a Seinfeld or something.

00:04:14.000 And it was like, it was a bulimia in the episode.

00:04:17.000 And like me and my wife looked at each other like, oh, should we, you don't even want them to know it exists because I've got two daughters that are sort of seven and nine years old.

00:04:26.000 Don't even want them to know about it.

00:04:27.000 Like, I don't know.

00:04:28.000 It's environmental because you can't imagine they have bulimia and anorexia in countries that don't have our culture in it.

00:04:35.000 Like the same way as the only animals that get cancer, I heard, or something like this, please fact check the hell out of this.

00:04:41.000 But it's sort of like only domestic animals get, only animals that are near humans get cancer and stuff.

00:04:47.000 Like orangutans or whatever, don't get it.

00:04:50.000 I heard that.

00:04:50.000 I need to double check that.

00:04:51.000 But like, anyway, it's sort of like bulimia and anorexia.

00:04:55.000 Like it's psychological cultural.

00:04:59.000 Anyway, so that's my.

00:05:00.000 So do you think of like, you think like looking at your body a lot and going, oh man, I'm getting fatter or like, is it an obsession with not really?

00:05:09.000 I just feel like it's an uphill struggle.

00:05:12.000 So I'm trying to get in really good shape.

00:05:14.000 And then every now and again, I'll just binge eat. 0.98

00:05:16.000 I think, fucking hell, I've trained so hard for the last few months. 0.97

00:05:20.000 I've been on a calorie-restricted diet, usually sort of ketogenic carnivore kind of diet. 0.99

00:05:25.000 And I'm in a reasonable sort of headspace.

00:05:27.000 And then every now and again, the wheels just fall off, mate.

00:05:29.000 And I'll just go in with a binge.

00:05:31.000 And I've done it.

00:05:31.000 I'll tell you what I've done Sunday, right?

00:05:33.000 It was mental.

00:05:35.000 I even microwaved the plate to warm it right up.

00:05:38.000 I've got these nice white chocolate chip cookies.

00:05:41.000 Then I put them on the plate that was already hot, back in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just so the chocolate was starting to melt.

00:05:47.000 And then a tub and pistachio ice cream on top.

00:05:51.000 Sounds delicious.

00:05:54.000 It was unbelievable.

00:05:55.000 It was unbelievable.

00:05:56.000 When I finished it, I felt horrific.

00:05:58.000 But because it was so good, I kind of want it again.

00:06:02.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:06:03.000 You're like Epstein Island for bulimia. 0.95

00:06:07.000 Like that, the effort you put into that cookie plate, that's like a paedophile.

00:06:12.000 Like that's the sort of stuff they would do.

00:06:13.000 Probably they would do actual stuff like that to lure the kids in. 0.84

00:06:17.000 Here you go.

00:06:18.000 Don't double-check with cocaine.

00:06:20.000 It's a hot plate.

00:06:21.000 That's pretty cool.

00:06:23.000 A hot plate of coke.

00:06:25.000 I didn't even know that was an option.

00:06:27.000 When you cut it up on a hot plate, it sort of fluffs up a little bit more and you like you get more of it.

00:06:35.000 He's like Gordon Crazy of Coke.

00:06:38.000 You're out of control, mate. 0.92

00:06:40.000 You're out of control.

00:06:41.000 Well, listen, the truth is, do you believe, I mean, that actually at the genesis of all addiction is the same problem of longing and false identity?

00:06:52.000 I sort of think that there is.

00:06:54.000 And even with like you, when you're going on your like white chocolate cookie rampage there, it must start in deficit.

00:07:02.000 There must be a moment where you feel it's pretty hard to take an ascetic route.

00:07:08.000 So much easier, isn't it, with drugs and alcohol?

00:07:10.000 All right, I'm not allowed drugs and alcohol.

00:07:12.000 Just don't ever do that again.

00:07:13.000 Then when it gets into pornography or related matters, objectification of women in the case of in my case, as a heterosexual man, like it's don't like now that has to be practiced.

00:07:28.000 I do like hot yoga and in that room, there are attractive women. 1.00

00:07:32.000 And the way I practice it now is do not look at them.

00:07:37.000 And then I have to see how many times over that hour my auto eyes like just auto like look.

00:07:45.000 Don't do it.

00:07:46.000 Don't.

00:07:46.000 I've done a really good job on the beach the other day where I went with my boy and I like as I was walking onto the beach.

00:07:53.000 I saw some beautiful young women. 1.00

00:07:56.000 And before I looked, I was like, right, this is going to be, there's going to be women on this beach. 1.00

00:08:02.000 Don't look.

00:08:03.000 Look only at your son.

00:08:04.000 Look only at your son.

00:08:05.000 And the readings I'd had this morning were about all keep your eyes on his face, on Christ, on the face of Christ.

00:08:12.000 And it actually worked real well.

00:08:15.000 It was a real well.

00:08:16.000 But what it gives you, in a sense, so my point, addiction can be a prompt, almost like Paul's famous thorn of which he spoke that the Lord never removed.

00:08:27.000 I suppose this is in line with my grace is sufficient for thee type stuff.

00:08:32.000 That the addiction is a prompt and reminder of your constant requirement for God.

00:08:39.000 And until the second voice in you, like there's the first voice is, you know, I'm going to drink this water.

00:08:45.000 And then the second voice is, don't drink that water, the crackling of the thing is going to be annoying, right?

00:08:50.000 The second voice has to become Christ so that who's in there with you is Christ and in the end, just him.

00:08:56.000 And there has to be the death of self and the birth of him in you.

00:09:01.000 Now, where I think I'm at the phase of, and that began with my conversion was, oh my God, he's in here.

00:09:07.000 Jesus is here.

00:09:08.000 He's here and he's real.

00:09:09.000 He's here and he's real.

00:09:10.000 And he's spiritual.

00:09:11.000 This is weird.

00:09:12.000 And then everything that I've subsequently learned is both historically and metaphysically and spiritually fortified this idea of God's actual presence in a C.S. Lewis way.

00:09:23.000 I understand that my own consciousness through my cerebellum can operate my fingers.

00:09:27.000 Like, you know, spirit and matter interact, don't they?

00:09:31.000 Otherwise you won't be able to think and move your hand.

00:09:33.000 And then throughout it, it's a further fortification.

00:09:36.000 Now, the prompt of addiction, the prompt of addiction, where we have to get, I think, is that every time you feel like, I'm going to do that thing, it's always the same.

00:09:45.000 Loads of us, we've been well vetted.

00:09:47.000 If you've been a drug addict, you've had a great opportunity because you'll know what it's like when you're like, oh, I'm going to call him.

00:09:53.000 I'm just going to, I'm going to call that dude.

00:09:56.000 You know, I'm going to make a phone call.

00:09:58.000 I'm going to score.

00:09:59.000 And then you can change that to, I'm going to ring another person in recovery.

00:10:06.000 Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

00:10:07.000 Do you think there's a big piece of that of getting it out with when you're tempted to look at someone else or look at a woman going, just saying it to someone else, just saying it to another friend?

00:10:20.000 What about that unpopular guides of step 10?

00:10:23.000 It says, firstly, go to God.

00:10:24.000 Secondly, talk to another person if that doesn't work.

00:10:27.000 Thirdly, inventory it.

00:10:29.000 And finally, help another person.

00:10:33.000 So we should be in this state of abiding.

00:10:36.000 I see it as a Sabbath mentality on the seventh day. 0.53

00:10:39.000 When you are abiding and resting continually with God, you don't need to go into it.

00:10:45.000 But what's really good about it is I suppose not even like most people in the world would say stuff like, it don't matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home.

00:10:55.000 Nothing wrong with window shopping, things like that, you know, like those kind of things that are used to diminish the importance of and significance of objectifying women, even though all of us know it's wrong.

00:11:06.000 We all know it's wrong.

00:11:07.000 So when you actually, what's that like to put that into practice?

00:11:11.000 Not around drugs and alcohol, which are verboten and obviously forbidden.

00:11:16.000 I'm talking to someone that I love at the moment about alcohol and drugs.

00:11:19.000 And like, if anyone, like if you say someone, try not drinking.

00:11:24.000 And anything other than, okay then, right?

00:11:27.000 You're dealing with an alcoholic.

00:11:29.000 Anything other than it.

00:11:30.000 If they go like, yeah, I don't have a problem.

00:11:34.000 Guess what?

00:11:35.000 People that don't have a problem with drinking don't have a problem with not drinking.

00:11:40.000 People that don't have a problem with drinking don't have a problem with not drinking.

00:11:44.000 They're just like, yeah, no problem.

00:11:45.000 If you say to me, hey, Russell, no more throwing potatoes into the paddling pool.

00:11:50.000 I won't go, I mean, I just do it to relax.

00:11:53.000 I only do it to unwind.

00:11:54.000 I only do it once in a while.

00:11:55.000 I'm just like, yeah, no problem.

00:11:56.000 What?

00:11:57.000 I don't understand what you're talking about.

00:11:58.000 What would I get out of throwing potatoes into a paddling pool?

00:12:02.000 But like, you know, if the person's resistant, that's your, there's your disease.

00:12:06.000 There's the problem.

00:12:07.000 So, but with what Joe is discussing there, like, it's, look, it's the false identity.

00:12:14.000 In that moment, I pray for you, my brother Joe, that you know how loved you are and how beloved you are.

00:12:20.000 You are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

00:12:23.000 Because what must we feel to think that the best we can get is to stare at some tits or to eat some, although admittedly delicious-sounding ice cream melted on that plate. 0.97

00:12:35.000 But you can tell from the fetishization, and note the word fetish. 0.97

00:12:38.000 Fetish means objectified.

00:12:41.000 It means that.

00:12:42.000 Like, you know, think of a religious face.

00:12:43.000 This is the finger of St. Bernadette.

00:12:45.000 Or fetishized.

00:12:46.000 You imagine the breasts as not being connected to that person and their childhood and their suffering and their eventual death and the function of the breast as nutrition for a baby.

00:12:57.000 Wouldn't it be good if these breasts were just that? 1.00

00:13:00.000 Yes, from that perspective, yes, it would.

00:13:03.000 But they're not.

00:13:04.000 They're not.

00:13:05.000 You can't, like I heard, a priest, I think, said, pornography is not bad because it shows you too little.

00:13:14.000 It's bad.

00:13:15.000 Pornography is not bad because it shows you too much.

00:13:17.000 It's bad because it shows you too little.

00:13:19.000 It just shows you this is a person you can just, that's all they are.

00:13:22.000 Well, every single one of those people that we've looked at, they're children of God.

00:13:26.000 And in that moment, we participated with them and Lucifer in the counterfeit idea that we can turn it into pleasure.

00:13:34.000 Now, sometimes, as they say, as we are fond of saying, the Stoics' era, C.S. Lewis says, is to think that a man can do always what he can do sometimes.

00:13:44.000 Sometimes I can do that, but there might be a day where I'm feeling particularly worthless and hopeless and disgusting because the world likes to do that to people.

00:13:53.000 Have you noticed?

00:13:54.000 That I therefore, I'm like, oh, something, something, whether it like is a cake or sterics.

00:14:01.000 I mean, thank God.

00:14:02.000 It's been many, many years since I've felt compelled by God's grace to look at pornography.

00:14:06.000 These things are getting easier for me, but I am under no illusions about my weakness and my vulnerability and my fallibility in these areas.

00:14:13.000 And it's only through this a priori acknowledgement of vulnerability that we may grow.

00:14:19.000 And it sounds like that's where you are, Joe.

00:14:22.000 But it's weird with the food.

00:14:23.000 You know, how can you, you're so ferocious?

00:14:25.000 Like, why I like Joe's addiction is that Joe's addiction is so sort of madly, all-consumingly ferocious that when I'm around it, I can, I don't have to think about mine for a bit because I was like, you know, I can just deal with Joe's.

00:14:38.000 But like, you know, but like that's like, you know, I'm, he's training himself.

00:14:43.000 He's all enormous and I'm counting my steps and I'm doing this and I'm getting that done.

00:14:48.000 And then just all of a sudden, I'm eating up a plate and eating these weird chocolate things.

00:14:53.000 It's very, you cannot do it alone, firstly.

00:14:57.000 And you're not supposed to.

00:14:58.000 We're meant to be in the great assembly.

00:14:59.000 We're meant to be in the church.

00:15:00.000 We're meant to do it together.

00:15:01.000 And like you've always said to me, Dave, that what the church must become is it must become this.

00:15:05.000 It must become like, right, what are we here for?

00:15:08.000 What's going on?

00:15:10.000 Not like, I'm already okay.

00:15:12.000 I'm already okay.

00:15:13.000 Are you though?

00:15:14.000 Are you already okay?

00:15:16.000 And we have to be in a church where it's like, I'm not just telling you I'm broken.

00:15:22.000 I'm showing you I'm broken.

00:15:23.000 I'm explicitly sharing my brokenness with you.

00:15:26.000 Yeah, and you're walking that out.

00:15:28.000 I liked how you said abiding, relating it to a tenth step.

00:15:36.000 I've never really connected that.

00:15:38.000 I mean, when it talks about, what's it, John 15?

00:15:41.000 I think it's John 15.

00:15:44.000 John talks about abiding and how other Men, people that you walk with are a part of that.

00:15:51.000 That it's not a solitary journey that you have, guys.

00:15:56.000 I mean, like we do.

00:15:57.000 Anytime I'm around any of my dear friends, like I'm telling them my thoughts, I'm sharing my struggles.

00:16:05.000 Hey, do you guys know about Polymarket?

00:16:06.000 On Polymarket, you can bet on anything like potentially significant things like the price of crude oil.

00:16:12.000 I wonder what the per barrel price will be during this insane conflict to more trivial and less terrifying things like who the next James Bond will be.

00:16:21.000 Why am I not seeing my name there?

00:16:23.000 Jack Loudon.

00:16:23.000 I don't even know who Jacob Everly is.

00:16:25.000 Tom Hardy, that would be good.

00:16:27.000 That would be good.

00:16:28.000 I'm going to polymarket that little guy.

00:16:30.000 But you know how things these days are.

00:16:31.000 If they're not in a wheelchair, they ain't James Bond.

00:16:35.000 Go to polymarket.com to trade on the outcomes of live events from politics, pop culture to sport and more.

00:16:41.000 Joe, do you feel like you're likely to.

00:16:44.000 How are you in for Adjust for Today, Wait?

00:16:46.000 And how come were you sharing it with Massey?

00:16:48.000 Tell me them two things.

00:16:53.000 Two reasons.

00:16:54.000 Well, first of all, I'm all right, Stan.

00:16:55.000 Doing pretty good, man.

00:16:56.000 I like the food stuff's all right.

00:16:57.000 I'm three days off the sugar, exercising well.

00:17:01.000 I'm doing pretty good.

00:17:03.000 I was sharing it with Massey because we were talking about the clips for this show, right?

00:17:06.000 And my clip this week is about trainers, a pair of Nike Air Max trainers, Air Max 95s known as 110s.

00:17:15.000 Now, when I first got sober, I went a bit mad for clothes and that.

00:17:20.000 And it was like, I want every pair of them in every color to wear with any whatever outfit I've got.

00:17:25.000 It's mental, right? 0.98

00:17:27.000 And then I get them and I don't even fucking care about them. 0.52

00:17:29.000 But there was one particular pair that I always wanted, and they're quite rare. 0.93

00:17:32.000 They're hard to get.

00:17:34.000 Now, we'd finished the show last week and they were doing a one-day only sale on them, right?

00:17:40.000 The OGs for one day, they're releasing them at JD Sports.

00:17:44.000 And I was going to go and queue up at the shop the next day, but I didn't.

00:17:48.000 But anyway, after the show, I went on a little link online and I went straight to JD.

00:17:53.000 I ended up buying them. 0.94

00:17:54.000 And like they're here now, and I don't fucking care about them. 0.89

00:17:58.000 Like they're in the box still. 0.97

00:17:59.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:18:00.000 They are now.

00:18:01.000 I mean, they're nice trainers.

00:18:03.000 You can put them on eBay now for double the money.

00:18:07.000 I thought I've seen you wearing them already.

00:18:08.000 You've seen me wear not these ones, not with a little neon, not with the neon loops.

00:18:14.000 Russell, this is so this is what I'm saying.

00:18:16.000 Yeah, it's the same thing, innit?

00:18:17.000 It's addiction. 0.99

00:18:19.000 We were on the way to court in the fucking car and they released the pink foam ones. 0.99

00:18:24.000 And you're talking to me about all this like intense stuff. 0.98

00:18:26.000 And I'm fucking checking my phone to see if I can get there. 0.98

00:18:29.000 And I was pissed off. 0.98

00:18:30.000 Focus on the case.

00:18:31.000 The website.

00:18:33.000 There was too much traffic on the website.

00:18:36.000 I thought he was distracted.

00:18:38.000 He was driving.

00:18:39.000 He kept taking wrong turns. 1.00

00:18:40.000 He was blaming the brake pads on my fucking defender. 0.99

00:18:43.000 On my Macarewa. 1.00

00:18:44.000 They already won.

00:18:46.000 And meanwhile, it's like, oh, my God, they've got these Nike Air Max in.

00:18:50.000 We're swerving around.

00:18:51.000 Paparazzi are getting plowed over.

00:18:53.000 Scottish Joe's all focused on some pink foam air max.

00:18:56.000 So what was that?

00:18:57.000 What was the clip of there's like sexy footage of the shoes or what is it?

00:19:03.000 The clip was just about the design of the shoe, how it come about.

00:19:06.000 And I'll be honest with you, when I saw the kept, I thought, oh yeah, they're quite fucking cool down trainers. 0.55

00:19:11.000 I'm glad I got them.

00:19:12.000 Yeah, I'll put that on the show.

00:19:14.000 Did you know that this is the first shoe ever to have a black mitzo or that this shoe got its design from the anatomy of the human body?

00:19:19.000 Well, Sergio Lozano in 95 was given the task to make this shoe right here.

00:19:23.000 And as you guys can see on the front of the shoe here, this is supposed to mimic the rib cage of the body on the outside and the inside of the shoe.

00:19:30.000 It's supposed to be muscle fibers on the back of the shoe here.

00:19:33.000 This is supposed to be a vertebrae.

00:19:35.000 And on the bottom of the shoe here, this is supposed to be the spine.

00:19:38.000 This shoe right here is one of the most hyped up shoes in sneaker culture.

00:19:44.000 When I tried to get these online in 2025, the line was to the front of the block, to the end of the block, and it was super, super hard to get these this time around.

00:19:53.000 They were a little bit more quantity, but it was still sold out in minutes, and the prices did jump up right after sneakers did sell out.

00:20:01.000 Depending on where you're from, these shoes have a different meaning to you.

00:20:04.000 If you're from the north, you've probably seen your favorite rapper wearing these.

00:20:07.000 We can't make this content without the support of our partners.

00:20:09.000 Here's a message from one now.

00:20:11.000 We're all using AI now, aren't we?

00:20:13.000 This probably isn't even actually really me.

00:20:15.000 It's like a diary.

00:20:16.000 Business ideas, health questions, private thoughts.

00:20:19.000 Now, Sam Altman says ChatGPT can reference all your past conversations and get to know you over your life.

00:20:25.000 Thanks!

00:20:26.000 OpenAI has former NSA leadership on its board, is exploring ads and even requires government ID for some models.

00:20:33.000 That should give you pause.

00:20:34.000 Well, if you've got nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear.

00:20:36.000 Well, just hope that you never ever do anything that could ever bother anyone.

00:20:39.000 All you have to do is live a life of total irrelevance and you should be fine.

00:20:43.000 But what if you want more?

00:20:44.000 What if you want to participate?

00:20:45.000 What if you want to be a conduit for divinity?

00:20:47.000 What if you believe that there's an Armageddon coming, a great big holy battle?

00:20:51.000 What are you going to do?

00:20:51.000 Sit quietly putting your ID into some digital code.

00:20:54.000 No, Fight back, baby.

00:20:56.000 We've already learned too late what social media was doing with our data.

00:21:00.000 AI is worse because people share far more intimate information.

00:21:03.000 Yeah.

00:21:04.000 On top of that, most AI tools censor harmless prompts and quietly steer what you're allowed to ask or think.

00:21:09.000 That's why I've been using Venice.

00:21:12.000 That's right.

00:21:13.000 Venice.

00:21:14.000 Venice is a private, uncensored AI platform, Dave.

00:21:17.000 Your prompts stay on your device, not their servers.

00:21:20.000 No surveillance, no data harvesting, no moral scolding.

00:21:24.000 You should not have said that.

00:21:25.000 It uses powerful open source models, including Venice Uncensored, which refuses prompts only about 2% of the time compared to the majority on other platforms.

00:21:34.000 You can switch between models, generate images other AIs won't touch, analyze documents, even create custom AI characters, all without handing over your ID.

00:21:42.000 If you want AI without censorship and without surveillance, go to venice.ai forward slash stay free and use the code stay free for 20% off Venice Pro.

00:21:51.000 Links in the description and pinned in the comment.

00:21:53.000 And I'm going to be using it because I'm always creating content.

00:21:56.000 I'm not interested in pervy, porny things like that.

00:21:58.000 That's everywhere.

00:21:59.000 You can get that wherever you want it.

00:22:00.000 If you want it and you shouldn't want it, it doesn't help you.

00:22:02.000 What you want to do, though, is organize systems of opposition to this corrupt and disgusting centralized tyranny that we're all forced to fight right now.

00:22:10.000 Stay free.

00:22:11.000 If you're from the West Coast, you probably heard the game talk about these and love it or hate it.

00:22:15.000 If you're of Asian descent or from Japan, you may have heard of the term Air Max hunting.

00:22:20.000 It was a time in the 95 and 96 when they would release these shoes over there and people were willing to pay $2,000 for $3,000.

00:22:27.000 If you're from the UK, you may call these the 110s because these cost £110 over there.

00:22:32.000 They also got their own version of this shoe in 2020 called the 110.

00:22:37.000 So wherever you're from, these shoes mean something to you.

00:22:40.000 And no matter how many times these come out or other Jordans and certain Nike models come out, these will always sell out.

00:22:49.000 He's done a really good job of breaking those down, hasn't he?

00:22:52.000 He's giving us a real understanding, both from a global and cultural perspective, of why those sneakers are important and valuable.

00:23:01.000 Really, really good bit of content, but it is fetishism.

00:23:06.000 Yeah, it is.

00:23:07.000 I'm exactly the same with this kind of thing.

00:23:09.000 I'm glad I'm coming again off the watch in that video.

00:23:12.000 Yeah, it's been four seasons for a little while.

00:23:15.000 They should give the video with the shoes just so you don't feel guilty when you get back.

00:23:19.000 Well, because it did take somebody, you know, effort and they put a lot of thought in it.

00:23:23.000 And there's the art and the design of it like a tinker hat feel when you watch it.

00:23:27.000 That's all good advice.

00:23:28.000 It's cool though when they go with the story of how they design these shoes instead of it just being like get these because of no reason.

00:23:35.000 I mean a lot of thought put into them.

00:23:36.000 The rational mind can be used to reach spiritual states in so much as we can all just rationally envisage circumstances where certain things will become meaningless to you, like under a hierarchy, a hierarchy.

00:23:54.000 If you're on an airplane and you're told it's going to crash, look how quickly you can clarify your priorities.

00:24:02.000 Or if your life is under threat or if someone you really loves life's under threat, you can't even generate the real estate to care about secondary things anymore.

00:24:11.000 We live in this kind of prisoners of comfort in some ways in the culture of commodity.

00:24:18.000 But this ability to sort of get excited about whether it's football or pornography, it's easy to, one has to be a participant in it.

00:24:29.000 See that Alex Honold and he's the free climber and his apparent impaired amygdala.

00:24:36.000 It's like he doesn't have, they say, or they said on that original documentary about Alex Honold, that he had an impediment in his amygdala that meant he didn't fire up and generate fear the way that other people did.

00:24:48.000 So he's not doing what you or I would be doing if you were climbing El Capitan or whatever it's called.

00:24:54.000 So, you know, there might be, there are some people, it seems, that are able to look at a sneaker or, you know, see, imagine if, like, take it, it's easier for me to imagine it around sort of sex, I suppose, because it's sort of primal.

00:25:07.000 But imagine like the image of a bosom or a butt or a thigh or whatever it is that you would personally fetishize. 0.98

00:25:15.000 Well, how far from that do you need to go before it's ridiculous? 0.84

00:25:20.000 I.e., you know, like those shots where they would zoom out of a cleavage and it's a man or it's fruit or it's something else. 0.62

00:25:28.000 Like, so what is happening?

00:25:31.000 What work are you doing in your consciousness?

00:25:34.000 What work are you doing internally?

00:25:36.000 Now, if we abide with Christ absolutely, there is no room.

00:25:42.000 There is no room.

00:25:42.000 Like, why would you let go of his hand for them sneakers?

00:25:46.000 Now, like, there's this interesting territory where our Lord, you know, when he talks about John the Baptist, it's like John the Baptist doesn't drink and he's an ascetic and he's totally in denial and you say he's demonic and crazy.

00:25:57.000 And then me, I like a drink and I have it at the weddings and you think I'm a heretic and I'm indulgent because he likes to be with the tax collectors. 0.99

00:26:07.000 And I guess that synonyms these days for tax collectors, he's with prostitutes and meth heads and scum. 0.99

00:26:17.000 That's who he's like, come to me, the proclamation in the luminous mysteries that aren't Catholic enough for Joe, that in the luminous mysteries, which are part of the rosary, the luminous mysteries, one of them is the declaration of the kingdom or proclamation of the kingdom of heaven. 0.97

00:26:34.000 Proclamation.

00:26:37.000 Like, come, sinners, come.

00:26:39.000 I want you, Lord.

00:26:40.000 I want you.

00:26:40.000 I think that's a very, very important Christian principle that when we're talking about Jesus, that people know that, are you broken?

00:26:47.000 Are you in a mess?

00:26:48.000 Like, come here, come this way. 1.00

00:26:50.000 And that part of Christianity that gets a bit Chinos and boat shoe, a bit like, you can fuck off. 1.00

00:26:56.000 Like, you know, I don't think that our Lord's down. 1.00

00:27:00.000 I don't think he's down.

00:27:01.000 Like, we're all different organs and we're all different limbs.

00:27:03.000 He says that too.

00:27:04.000 But like, I feel that for our mission and ministry, I really feel hyper-focused on brokenness.

00:27:13.000 For sure.

00:27:14.000 He was.

00:27:15.000 Yeah, what about?

00:27:16.000 You said chinos.

00:27:17.000 Chinos. 0.99

00:27:18.000 don't mean to hurt anyone that wears chinos and boat shoes by the way i'm just saying like it shouldn't feel like like you know when you're at a 12-step meeting and like homeless people come in or drunk people well that's who it's for like you know like sometimes I've been in 12-step meetings where they're like, are you drunk?

00:27:35.000 Are you drunk?

00:27:36.000 You better believe I'm drunk.

00:27:38.000 What's that?

00:27:39.000 Um, like, um, like Bill Hicks used to have a joke.

00:27:42.000 Um, like, um, hey, don't give that homeless guy money for he'll just spend it on crack.

00:27:48.000 And Bill Hicks was like, Well, drugs are pretty important to drug addicts.

00:27:52.000 Like, yeah, you're damn right if it's for crack. 0.99

00:27:54.000 And if I don't get some, I'm gonna kill you. 0.98

00:27:57.000 You know, like, you gotta like recognize where these people are at, man. 0.98

00:28:01.000 What was you saying about the book of John there, mate?

00:28:04.000 Did you find it?

00:28:05.000 Is it in the vine?

00:28:06.000 Yep.

00:28:08.000 It says, John 15:1, I am the true vine, and my father is the gardener.

00:28:12.000 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit.

00:28:16.000 While every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so that it'll be even more fruitful.

00:28:21.000 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

00:28:24.000 Abide in me as I also abide in you.

00:28:29.000 No branch can bear fruit by itself.

00:28:31.000 It must remain in the vine.

00:28:35.000 Neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in me.

00:28:39.000 Oh, it's cool.

00:28:40.000 It's cool.

00:28:41.000 So, like, this for the pruning, hey, like that aspect of it is mostly like if you're suffering, it's because he cares and you're being changed and you're being prepared, and the suffering is all right.

00:28:52.000 I don't like suffering at all.

00:28:54.000 I'd rather not do any zero.

00:28:57.000 I want, I'm, I'm down for numbness and pleasure.

00:29:00.000 Those are my two.

00:29:01.000 Pleasure and numbness, but suffering is as he as it says there in scripture, the pruning.

00:29:09.000 Like, oh, that's being cut off now.

00:29:11.000 Like, see the suffering that will come, Joe, if you don't, if you're like, I'm not having no more.

00:29:16.000 Like, I like one time, I remember like when I was about to do some, I was in Edinburgh, I was very famous, and I was about to go hook up, I think, with some women.

00:29:27.000 And like, the guy I was hanging out with, he really liked one of them, and they all were up for old Russ.

00:29:33.000 Who can blame them?

00:29:34.000 Anyway, so like, uh, like, he was going to me, my friend was like, Why you got to do this, man?

00:29:40.000 I really like this girl.

00:29:41.000 And like, and I could feel like someone trying to put a barrier up, you know, of like stopping me experiencing and accepting the inundation of free-flowing, consensually offered pleasure.

00:29:54.000 And like, when I felt like he was trying to impede me, even though I sort of knew he was right, like I knew it weren't right or loyal or being a very good friend, I was so scared, man, of like not having that.

00:30:06.000 I felt like I would die if I didn't have that input.

00:30:12.000 So, I get it, man. 0.99

00:30:13.000 When people like, like, fuck it, I'm just gonna drink, or fuck it, I'm eating the ice cream because it actually feels like that's pruning, like to sort of go, All right, God, I trust you, I trust you, God. 1.00

00:30:23.000 Ah, ah, it's horrible, it's a horrible feeling. 1.00

00:30:28.000 And it sometimes also looks like going through your days walking with other guys and sharing honestly with each other about what's going on.

00:30:36.000 And I, I don't, I think if it's just you individually, that's not what God meant, doesn't he?

00:30:41.000 Yeah, well, because we were in each other, kind of, yeah.

00:30:45.000 I mean, think of any trip like throughout the weeks, when any trip we go to, when we're in the plane, when we're going wherever, or like we're sharing honestly with each other, we're reading scripture sometimes, we're praying, like we're that's what true community looks like.

00:31:01.000 And I think that's what really what I can't imagine it being a solo trip, like a solo journey that doesn't involve brothers in Christ.

00:31:11.000 Relationship is fundamental, and it's at the molecular level, in it, of where there is the father, the son, there is the Holy Ghost, there is the third component is relational, is it, Jake?

00:31:20.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:31:21.000 And I think about bearing fruit.

00:31:24.000 So it's not just like keep on just staying in the, you know, the darkness and the mistakes and feeling like, well, know that you can always come back to it and talk to your brothers and your friends.

00:31:36.000 But I always like the quotes like, Jesus loves us as we are, and he loves us enough to not leave us that way.

00:31:44.000 Like, it is fruit and glory to glory and growth.

00:31:50.000 We just can never take it as this is us doing it and then trying to sell it to other people.

00:31:56.000 I think that's the problem.

00:31:57.000 Because you should always remember the change that happened in you so that you can help somebody else wherever they're at in the journey.

00:32:05.000 Also knowing you're going to mess up again.

00:32:09.000 Oh, I'm bad at that.

00:32:11.000 I'm especially bad at the first bit.

00:32:13.000 That's where I really thrive at that. 1.00

00:32:15.000 I'm like, are you an idiot or something? 1.00

00:32:17.000 Like, I went, I've always done that, like to sort of understanding, like, didn't understand it, didn't understand it, didn't understand it. 1.00

00:32:23.000 You fucking idiot. 1.00

00:32:23.000 Understand it now. 1.00

00:32:24.000 Why don't you?

00:32:25.000 I go straight to why would you not understand immediately without any delay?

00:32:29.000 That's one of my main problems.

00:32:31.000 One of my main, many, main problems.

00:32:33.000 That's good word.

00:32:34.000 Thank you, you guys, for explaining that.

00:32:35.000 All right, then, let's have a quick look at, but that's just what I think.

00:32:38.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.

00:32:40.000 How do you tackle with addiction?

00:32:41.000 How do you tackle with temptation?

00:32:42.000 How do you tackle objectification?

00:32:45.000 Let us know what you feel about these issues of addiction.

00:32:48.000 Hey, for the thumbnail, you could use the trainer, the ice cream, the drug.

00:32:52.000 This is not messing about.

00:32:54.000 Thumbnail of a cleavage on it, Massey. 1.00

00:32:55.000 You watch that shit blow up. 1.00

00:32:58.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:32:58.000 I can't believe I'm the one that's pointing this out. 1.00

00:33:00.000 Go look at Paul Joseph Watson thumbnails and even our thumbnails.

00:33:03.000 Look at the ones that have cleavages in them. 1.00

00:33:05.000 And what do you know?

00:33:06.000 People like cleavages. 1.00

00:33:08.000 Yeah, if you did cleavage and ice cream, that would be... 0.97

00:33:10.000 Get cleavage and ice cream. 0.99

00:33:12.000 Grok. 0.98

00:33:12.000 Get me cleavage. 0.98

00:33:14.000 110 in there, man. 0.95

00:33:16.000 Screw the 110.

00:33:18.000 What are you going to do? 1.00

00:33:19.000 Fuck it in its shoe. 1.00

00:33:20.000 Do it his neon eye hole. 1.00

00:33:24.000 Oh, you pervert. 0.99

00:33:25.000 I saw that. 0.99

00:33:26.000 Box fresh.

00:33:28.000 I'm still angry.

00:33:29.000 It's time for...

00:33:30.000 Da-da-da-da! 0.96

00:33:32.000 Here is them news.

00:33:33.000 Here is them news.

00:33:35.000 Hollywood is collapsing.

00:33:37.000 As you know, ever since I've left, Hollywood has gone all wrong.

00:33:40.000 Probably because of our Russ.

00:33:41.000 We all saw me in Arthur.

00:33:42.000 Brilliant acting, especially the voice.

00:33:47.000 Some of the best acting we've ever seen.

00:33:49.000 Whether it's my scene with Evander Hollyfield, check that out.

00:33:52.000 My scenes with Helen Mirren, excellent.

00:33:54.000 Greg Gerwig, Jennifer Gardner.

00:33:59.000 All of that acting is some of the best acting that we've ever seen.

00:34:03.000 Nick Nulty was grabbing me by the nut bag and hurting me real bad.

00:34:08.000 You'll notice I just let that slide.

00:34:11.000 Like, you know, I actually didn't.

00:34:13.000 I spoke to my mate.

00:34:14.000 I goes, can you talk to him?

00:34:15.000 Because he keeps grabbing my nuts.

00:34:20.000 It's hurting.

00:34:21.000 In the construction site, huh?

00:34:22.000 And he like a contractor.

00:34:24.000 I'm not surprised he was annoyed.

00:34:25.000 My acting was, the voice was very annoying in that scene.

00:34:28.000 Very, very annoying.

00:34:29.000 And for an actor like Nick Nulty, a very good grizzled actor, it must have pissed him off.

00:34:34.000 The fact is, though, that ever since I took Hollywood to its absolute peak, yes, you might afford the films of Bob Evans.

00:34:40.000 Yes, you may have felt the 70s era was a sort of a golden era in Hollywood.

00:34:45.000 Or perhaps you like Christopher Nolan.

00:34:46.000 You're wrong.

00:34:47.000 It was me.

00:34:48.000 In both hop, other ones like Rock of Ages, that was the peak.

00:34:54.000 From there, it's been deteriorating plainly.

00:34:57.000 You might like Tarantino.

00:34:58.000 No, not Tarantino.

00:35:00.000 Oh, Rusty.

00:35:01.000 He took it there.

00:35:02.000 So now it's all gone dreadfully, dreadfully wrong because Satan's, you know, I don't know, because I'm not there anymore.

00:35:07.000 I feel like it's been desecrated.

00:35:09.000 And frankly, let's face it, Hollywood is the agency of Satan.

00:35:14.000 Its function, whether they know it or not, they probably don't know this, is to amplify ideas that cause division, suffering, commodification, objectification, these kind of things.

00:35:23.000 That's what it's for.

00:35:24.000 And it just blows my mind.

00:35:26.000 me and Jake spoke about this at length with that brilliant film starring Clooney called Jay Fuller, Jay Fully.

00:35:32.000 Kelly.

00:35:33.000 Jay Kelly.

00:35:34.000 Like, it was a film about Hollywood and about the hopeless, senseless narcissism and emptiness and shallowness of Hollywood, but it is made by Hollywood.

00:35:44.000 Like, so all those people, it's just, it's really confusing.

00:35:47.000 But then I felt the same thing last night when I watched with my whole family Little Miss Sunshine, which does tackle some pretty difficult themes for seven and nine year olds, my girls, suicides in there, homosexuality, sexuality more broadly, pageants.

00:36:02.000 There's lots of complex ideas in there.

00:36:04.000 But ultimately, it seems to end with the idea that we should embrace our uniqueness and our free career as opposed to entering into the superficial pageantry as exemplified by the horror of a child beauty pageant, the sort of macabre horror of children being objectified in that way.

00:36:22.000 And what does that indicate?

00:36:23.000 We all know where that leads and what that's about, really.

00:36:25.000 So, but then I thought, well, Hollywood is part of that pageant and glamorization and objectification. 1.00

00:36:31.000 It just does it in a less trashy way than some pageant somewhere.

00:36:36.000 They don't have the aesthetic skills and the lighting and the makeup and the talent, frankly, to do it in the way that Hollywood does.

00:36:42.000 So there's so much expertise and so much ingenuity in Hollywood, but it's being bent, generally speaking, towards the will of the evil one.

00:36:50.000 So here's Paramount saying it's Warner Brothers deal can work without big layoffs.

00:36:56.000 But the fact is, is this concentration of studios is an acknowledgement that entertainment has changed and is changing and that media is changing and the way that you and we consume media is altering.

00:37:10.000 Soon after winning their fight for Warner Brothers Discovery, da-da-da, executives at Paramount Skydance laid out plans for $6 billion in cuts over the next three years at the combined company.

00:37:19.000 Of course, that's how capitalism operates.

00:37:21.000 They insisted they could do it without wholesale layoffs.

00:37:23.000 Hollywood ain't so convinced.

00:37:24.000 Several of Tinseltown's powerful unions and members of its creative community, they do have strong unions there, decried the $110 billion deal to merge two of the industry's biggest studios, calling it anti-competitive and saying it would result in fewer jobs and opportunities.

00:37:36.000 But what's it meant to be?

00:37:38.000 Hollywood's not there to create jobs and opportunities.

00:37:40.000 It's there as a propaganda unit.

00:37:41.000 Look at the relationships they have with the CIA.

00:37:43.000 Look at the relationships they have with the military.

00:37:45.000 CIA place operatives within all major studios.

00:37:47.000 I mean, it's just the cast iron, deep, stone deep, stone-cold fact that Hollywood has CIA operatives within it.

00:37:56.000 And the messaging, as you know, is sort of Babylonian.

00:38:00.000 But analysts and media industry experts say the $79 billion of debt will take the...

00:38:07.000 Excuse me.

00:38:08.000 But analysts and media industry experts say that the $79 billion debt load the company will take on when the deal closes, plus the huge cost for the increased output, is just basically saying it's bad.

00:38:18.000 Anyway, but the senior man Ellison there from Oracle, I think some people are concerned about that because Oracle are acquiring or stroke have acquired, at least from a licensing perspective, am I right in saying TikTok?

00:38:28.000 So does that mean that they've got that degree of content creation and that degree, that amount of distribution?

00:38:36.000 That's a terrifying, terrifying amount of power.

00:38:39.000 Okay, so Cameron's on my friend, God Lord, Jay Shetty Man, had James Cameron, director of Titanic and Avatar and so many great movies on his show.

00:38:48.000 Now, I used to know Jay Shetty because one of my teachers, sometimes I allude to the teachings I receive from Eastern mystical teachers.

00:38:57.000 One of the greats was Radhanath Swamy.

00:39:00.000 He's a member of the Harry Krishna movement.

00:39:02.000 This guy, he was one of the first holy men I ever encountered.

00:39:05.000 And what emanated from him was an aspect of divinity that sort of made me blush, that didn't really make sense till I read Yogananda's autobiography of a yogi, in which the guru tradition is described as being a deep love between men.

00:39:23.000 Not dissimilar from what you're saying there, beloved Dave, about like the walk that we take on the Christian path and the lateral relationships, the horizontal relationships between one another where we love one another.

00:39:35.000 Although in the guru tradition, you know, like they would say of Paul, you know, sort of, you know, learn from a Paul, train a Timothy or whatever.

00:39:44.000 Like a guru, a great teacher, this is a very, very, very strong love.

00:39:49.000 When I first met Radhanat Swami, he was the first person that said to me this, all desire is the inappropriate substitute for the desire to be at one with God.

00:39:57.000 He's the first person that said that to me, like when I was 27, and I was like, whoa, this is cool.

00:40:02.000 And what I felt from him when I first met him, Radhanath Swami, was that I couldn't shake him.

00:40:08.000 I mean, I could actually physically, because he's only a little fella, but I mean, I couldn't shake him spiritually.

00:40:13.000 And I did shake him down over the years.

00:40:15.000 I took him to a lesbian roller disco once, and that pushed him to the limit. 0.99

00:40:19.000 All of us were challenged by that lesbian roller disco, not least the lesbians themselves. 1.00

00:40:25.000 I hope I presented something of a challenge.

00:40:28.000 I was in my prime.

00:40:29.000 So then Radhanat Swami eventually went, Russell, with your permission, I would like to leave now. 0.95

00:40:36.000 Shut up, I'm having a good time. 0.99

00:40:37.000 He's a good lesbian roller disco. 1.00

00:40:40.000 Anyway, what I realized was that he was a person that if I said to him, hey, do you want to be in my band?

00:40:47.000 He wouldn't go, yeah, cool. 0.99

00:40:49.000 Or if I said, some guys are breaking into your car, he wouldn't go, what, what the fuck? 0.99

00:40:53.000 He was in, he was, the word Swami means he who is with himself. 0.99

00:40:58.000 He is with himself.

00:40:59.000 And their love of Krishna, it's very Christ-like.

00:41:03.000 I mean, Krishna comes as a baby.

00:41:05.000 He's a divine child.

00:41:07.000 He defeats all sorts of serpent-like beasts.

00:41:10.000 He, I mean, there's lots of correlatives, I would say.

00:41:15.000 Anyway, so, and I think about that a lot and wonder about it.

00:41:17.000 And I suppose maybe this is one of those things we don't know till the afterlife.

00:41:20.000 But my point is that Jay Shetty was always giving this dude rights.

00:41:25.000 Like, you know, like sort of the, he would come over, he would minister me, he would teach me and stuff.

00:41:29.000 And the guy in the car, and I'd say, come in, mate, if you want.

00:41:32.000 And he'd go, no, I'm all right.

00:41:33.000 He's just doing his service, was Jay Shetty.

00:41:36.000 Wow.

00:41:36.000 That's how I knew Jay.

00:41:38.000 And like, Jay, when I was in a more conventional celebrity space, I would go on Jay's stuff.

00:41:43.000 And then, of course, obviously I've, you know, recognized that for a lot of people, even the fact that I've been charged with stuff, even though we'll, you know, when the trial happens, we'll, please God, all justice will be done.

00:41:55.000 Please God, justice will be done.

00:41:59.000 I recognize that if you've got Barack Obama coming on your podcast, you're not going to have probably me or Alex Jones or, you know, an ad, bad name here.

00:42:10.000 So here he is with James Cameron on talking about Hollywood.

00:42:16.000 Is Hollywood getting its just desserts?

00:42:18.000 Do we need a Hollywood?

00:42:19.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat what the function of Hollywood is.

00:42:21.000 Surely, like me, there are films that you watch that you think are just absolutely fantastic.

00:42:26.000 I mean, Hollywood made the Matrix, for heaven's sake.

00:42:29.000 So let's see, let's have a little look at this conversation between the great James Cameron and the lovely Jay Shetty.

00:42:36.000 Maybe just keep going.

00:42:38.000 I don't know.

00:42:39.000 Well, look, I mean, there are a number of milestones here that have to be met.

00:42:43.000 First of all, the film has to succeed financially.

00:42:47.000 And that's not a given.

00:42:48.000 Everybody just assumes it's a no-brainer.

00:42:50.000 But the theatrical marketplace has been dwindling and collapsing about 35% and hasn't rebounded.

00:42:57.000 And people's habit patterns have changed.

00:43:00.000 And so the thing that I grew up and love and feel such Strong sense of passion for maybe becoming obsolete Maybe and the cost of making movies is continuously going up and this and the demand is falling so that's a little bit of a death spiral right there, you know So maybe it's maybe it's going to be okay.

00:43:21.000 We were sort of successful if we can do the next one cheaper We can continue Well, that's interesting.

00:43:28.000 So that's just like.

00:43:29.000 From an industrial perspective, That's obsolescence.

00:43:31.000 That's like Kodak style obsolescence, like that's a product people don't require anymore because technology has surpassed it.

00:43:39.000 People will always require, not require.

00:43:41.000 Might want content, and content creation may remain a game, but the whole modality is flexing and being tested, and you better believe that pretty big brains are investigating how to keep the gravy trainer rolling on, because live events, live streaming, your World Cups, your Super Bowls and all that are significant and your event movies are interesting.

00:44:04.000 I reckon though, that we're moving.

00:44:06.000 In a sense.

00:44:07.000 Something glorious could come from this technological diaspora, or something terrifying could come from it.

00:44:12.000 Let's try and work out which way it's going to go.

00:44:15.000 Here we see through this uh, video generator called SEA Dance that uh, the styles of films can be immediately generated simply by putting the auteur's name into the prompt check.

00:44:31.000 I guess that's Wes Anderson, huh?

00:44:44.000 That's really cool.

00:44:45.000 I mean, I'd like...

00:44:46.000 It makes me think.

00:44:47.000 I want to see like it turn into Tarantino, and I want to see the same scene done Tarantino, and then I want to see it done, where's Anderson?

00:44:55.000 Then I want to see it done.

00:44:56.000 Uh, who's one of the spaghetti western dudes or something, you know?

00:45:13.000 Zanderson would be saying, hold on a minute, like, I'm better than that.

00:45:16.000 And he would be well within his rights, but...

00:45:19.000 But you know um, if you watch that film, say Goodwill Hunting, there's a bit where the mentor mathematician says only about five people in the world, he says, would be able to determine, discern the difference between Goodwill Hunting's mathematical ability and his, he goes, but I I can't.

00:45:40.000 I'm one of those five people now, like the majority of people, can't and won't care about the difference between what Wes Anderson does.

00:45:49.000 That makes it more fluid and fluent and beautiful and, I don't know, symmetrical or asymmetrical when required.

00:45:55.000 But people aren't going to care, particularly as over time, the entertainment industry has you, one would say, broadly allowed contributed to a deterioration in taste through overstimulation, and spectacle would be a good way of putting it.

00:46:10.000 In Aristotle's poetics he says that there are many components to the creation of theater, spectacle being but One of them. 0.89

00:46:17.000 Over time, we've relented so heavily on spectacle, you know, stimulation, explosions, porn, breasts, madness, penis, like we've overloaded it. 0.94

00:46:27.000 So now we've created our own, you know, we've created our own problem here. 0.97

00:46:33.000 Think about what they even said in that merger text that you read about wanting more people to have opportunities.

00:46:40.000 And that's really like the opposite of what Hollywood, it's supposed to be hard, right?

00:46:44.000 You're supposed to be really, really good at your craft.

00:46:47.000 Like you got to go against all your maybe your parents saying go to school or whatever, and you got to go for your dream and all that stuff.

00:46:55.000 It becomes easily accessible to everybody, then it loses that artistic side that causes struggle almost to get there.

00:47:04.000 Wouldn't you say that one of the challenges between sport and entertainment, and I know you're a person that cares about both of those things, and I probably will do in a way.

00:47:11.000 I really, you know, love certain sports, football, particularly, like that football and sport are in general more measurable.

00:47:20.000 You can say, well, this person had a fight with that person in a ring and that person won.

00:47:25.000 With art, it's so much more subjectivity involved generally, but you can still probably make a claim like Quentin Tarantino is one of the best film directors of the last 50 years.

00:47:35.000 You can sort of say something like that.

00:47:38.000 But are you aggregating a variety like the success of his films?

00:47:43.000 You're putting together a lot of information.

00:47:44.000 It's not the same as saying Mike Tyson is one of the best boxers of the last 50 years.

00:47:48.000 It's different, innit?

00:47:50.000 But then I'm starting to think of surfing and like, how can you ever have a surfing competition, a one-off, because every single surfer is dealing with a different wave.

00:47:57.000 And then I start to think that that's probably applicable in even a more managed sport like tennis because the waves, because nothing is one thing, really.

00:48:05.000 All things are interconnected.

00:48:07.000 All things are interconnected.

00:48:08.000 So like, I don't believe that Hollywood is entirely meritocratic.

00:48:13.000 I think that Hollywood is primarily at essence a kind, whilst there are, and I've met them, some of them, geniuses in Hollywood.

00:48:21.000 I think by their fruit shall you know them.

00:48:23.000 The purpose of Hollywood is to ensure that the agenda of the powerful remains alluring and immersive and invisible.

00:48:31.000 That's what it's for.

00:48:32.000 Alluring, immersive and invisible.

00:48:34.000 That we remain overly invested in romantic attachment, that we don't question the nature of power.

00:48:41.000 And when we do question the nature of power, it's futile introspective questioning rather than a kind of rampant, vibrant uprising.

00:48:51.000 Now, because I still struggle with how can you make the Matrix in Hollywood, then we all watch the Matrix, go, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

00:49:00.000 Good.

00:49:01.000 Do another one.

00:49:02.000 Like, you don't go, oh my God, that's actually it.

00:49:04.000 You've described it.

00:49:05.000 I'm out.

00:49:07.000 But then in real life, you can do the Epstein file release and like, all these powerful people are paedophiles. 0.97

00:49:11.000 They're all stripping kids. 1.00

00:49:13.000 And somehow, like, look at our vulnerability.

00:49:16.000 Look at our, like, we're children.

00:49:18.000 We're children.

00:49:19.000 We can be shepherded.

00:49:20.000 We are shepherded.

00:49:21.000 We need a shepherd.

00:49:22.000 We're shepherded by dark forces if we're not shepherded by him.

00:49:25.000 People like some of the great people, some of the greatest people are converted into individualism.

00:49:31.000 And once you've got them in individualism, they're no longer effective for the kingdom.

00:49:37.000 You know, I'm thinking in particular of some great men that I've known that they believe that the arena that they're playing is in the arena of the individual.

00:49:47.000 You know, like to make that final step and to become selfless and to go, now I live for the community.

00:49:53.000 Now I live for the kingdom.

00:49:54.000 It's always going to be, it's going to lead to sacrifice.

00:49:56.000 And most people don't want to do it, I don't think.

00:49:58.000 Well, Keanu Reed, if like him in particular pops up into my head with The Matrix, but like, what do you think has allowed him to be like, to seem like he has character and doesn't care about any of it?

00:50:12.000 And like you see him walking around helping people out, like almost does it like it's his craft, but he's not attached.

00:50:20.000 It seems like he's got a I don't know.

00:50:23.000 Is it pathology?

00:50:24.000 Is it the equivalent of just a particular wave in the ocean?

00:50:28.000 Because you know, you take Leonardo DiCaprio and Kinu Reeves, like two of their sort of great sort of relatively contemporary stars, and one gets the idea that Leonardo DiCaprio is deeply embedded and invested in some of the I'm not making aspersions or casting aspersions, but I'm saying he seems very much a figure of Hollywood.

00:50:45.000 And Kinu Reeves seems like someone who's like, I'm doing this, but I'm me, man, and I'm not getting involved.

00:50:51.000 But, and yet, the system itself can accommodate both.

00:50:57.000 You know, it's just very strange. 0.93

00:51:00.000 Even in the sort of relatively short period that we've all been interested in Hollywood, you can't, you couldn't have like, you know, some of these people are crazy, man. 0.94

00:51:08.000 Like, Nick Cage is like a crazy dude. 0.77

00:51:12.000 Like, can you have one of them now?

00:51:14.000 No, you can't have like Nick Cage, like, who looks like, I'm not casting aspersions at the beginning of his career that he was maybe on some stimulants and he was a pretty wild dude.

00:51:24.000 That you ain't getting that now.

00:51:25.000 Like, someone like they see the last star, the lad Shamole there, he's he's that kid's clean, and he he's like a monk of Hollywood.

00:51:36.000 He's like, I just want to do this, I believe in greatness.

00:51:39.000 I think he's a wonderful actor, and he's but he's not a hedonist or crazy.

00:51:45.000 Like, you used that, he used to sort of celebrate it, but look what was going on, Polanski and Jack, you know, like all people like.

00:51:53.000 Obviously, it's difficult for me to talk about because of what I've gone through and I'm going through, where I know that what is being posed as crime was simply hedonism and the difference being consent.

00:52:11.000 It's all it's always been that.

00:52:13.000 Any one of any sort of PK Hollywood star, if you wanted to reframe it.

00:52:19.000 So, what I'm basically saying is that, like, Kinu Reeves, I don't know, man, but like, he seems like a really, really lovely guy, but he's also in some ways neutral.

00:52:30.000 Yeah, like he's like, he's a neutral individual.

00:52:33.000 Well, he's not like, I've had enough of this.

00:52:35.000 I mean, I bet he does really amazing things.

00:52:36.000 There's no question about it.

00:52:37.000 Kind things and all of that.

00:52:39.000 But you can't, Hollywood.

00:52:40.000 He's not speaking out against it.

00:52:42.000 He's not speaking out against it.

00:52:44.000 How can he?

00:52:44.000 Yeah.

00:52:45.000 But he's also not in a ton of roles since like early 2000s that I know of.

00:52:50.000 John Wick.

00:52:52.000 Where have you been?

00:52:53.000 Two words.

00:52:54.000 John.

00:52:55.000 I forgot.

00:52:55.000 Wick.

00:52:56.000 Cut that from Massey.

00:52:57.000 Cut that out. 0.73

00:52:58.000 We don't even hear anyone disparaging the good name of John Wick.

00:53:01.000 One of my towards the end of when I was in the mainstream, I went on a talk show with like, and Kinu Reeves was on it as well.

00:53:10.000 And he was promoting John Wick.

00:53:11.000 And I think it was the first one.

00:53:13.000 I was like, John Wick?

00:53:14.000 That's not a good name for a film.

00:53:16.000 Sounds like a carpet fitter.

00:53:19.000 John Wick, like an advert you would hear on talk sport.

00:53:22.000 John Wick, 20% Sent off carpet tiles, John Wick, rugs are available, John Wick, this Agsminster pile.

00:53:30.000 And I think I said some of these things on the show and Keanu Reeves just was like, he didn't care at all.

00:53:36.000 He was really neutral about it.

00:53:37.000 But they didn't put it in the broadcast version.

00:53:41.000 That I'll notice because so Kino Reeves' PR person afterwards went, hey, that guy, that English guy, can you not put in the stuff he said about John Wick?

00:53:50.000 Because we're actually here to promote John Wick.

00:53:52.000 That's the only reason that we're here is to promote John Wick.

00:53:55.000 And like, look, you can't be any time in Hollywood will disabuse you of the notions of its romanticism, whether that's from the practical experience of being on a movie set and how bloody boring it is a lot of the time, or the broader sort of sense of how it treats you.

00:54:12.000 And I don't even, I don't mean satanism.

00:54:14.000 Like, you know, remember when Tommy was on here and like Tommy Robinson, he was like, come on, right?

00:54:18.000 He will sort of almost want me to say, yeah, and then someone bit a baby's head off.

00:54:22.000 You know, like, you know, it's not that.

00:54:23.000 It's more like, you know, you arrive there.

00:54:26.000 This is your lawyer.

00:54:27.000 This is your manager.

00:54:28.000 This is your business manager.

00:54:29.000 This is your agent.

00:54:30.000 This is your manager.

00:54:31.000 This is your PR.

00:54:32.000 Like they all want five to ten to twenty percent. 0.99

00:54:34.000 You're like, what the fuck is this? 0.99

00:54:36.000 What the fuck is this, actually? 1.00

00:54:38.000 And it's just a machine. 0.99

00:54:41.000 I was at the same time as Jason Mamoa, the handsome lad that's Thor, Henderson.

00:54:47.000 I was doing a bunch of stuff at the same time as them.

00:54:49.000 And like both of them are really cool people.

00:54:51.000 But the truth is, I'm not, I'm not like, you know, I'm not trying to say that.

00:54:57.000 I'm not trying to claim any credit for my failure in Hollywood.

00:54:57.000 What am I trying to say?

00:55:01.000 Because how can you?

00:55:03.000 But like, what I know about myself is I, like, whether it was school or Hollywood, I'm not able to sort of just go, okay. 0.97

00:55:14.000 You know, like, a lot of the things I did was really dumb. 0.97

00:55:16.000 Like, you know, when I was doing movies and I'm not fucking going. 0.97

00:55:20.000 And they wanted me to do reshoots for Arthur, say, and frankly, they were right. 0.91

00:55:24.000 But like, like, and I'm like, I'm going home.

00:55:26.000 I'm going.

00:55:27.000 Like, I just didn't.

00:55:28.000 And really, what was in me was I didn't like it.

00:55:31.000 I didn't really want to do it.

00:55:32.000 I couldn't see that then.

00:55:34.000 Great big, you know, set pieces.

00:55:35.000 We need a new AR, a new ending, or whatever. 1.00

00:55:37.000 I'm like, fuck off, man. 0.99

00:55:38.000 I don't want to do it. 1.00

00:55:39.000 Like, that was the wrong attitude because other people's jobs and money and you're meant to be in the film and everything.

00:55:45.000 But I didn't like it.

00:55:47.000 And even when the films with Judd Appetow and good films, you know, I didn't like it.

00:55:51.000 It's weird.

00:55:52.000 It's weird to admit that.

00:55:54.000 That I just didn't like it.

00:55:56.000 I didn't like the world.

00:55:58.000 And now, as I get older, I'm sort of see why that would be.

00:56:02.000 I think it's sort of primarily because Hollywood, I'm not saying the people are dark.

00:56:07.000 I'm saying the entire endeavor is dark.

00:56:10.000 A way of understanding something is if you were to remove that factor, the thing wouldn't exist no more.

00:56:15.000 That's a good way of understanding what something's for, right?

00:56:19.000 And if you, like, if Hollywood wasn't amplifying and normalizing the agenda of very powerful interests, there would be no Hollywood.

00:56:28.000 So that is what it's for.

00:56:30.000 By its fruits shall you know it.

00:56:32.000 Like, even though it still generates, to this day, amazing, brilliant content.

00:56:38.000 But that's because of us.

00:56:40.000 We create the meaning through our Lord and Savior, the maker of all meaning, within ourselves.

00:56:44.000 Like that doesn't matter what they do.

00:56:46.000 The World Cup will be amazing.

00:56:47.000 People, even if it's in the middle of a cartel war in Mexico, even if you come over to New York and there's problems, even if there's protests against Trump, what they do when it gets to like Germany are playing Argentina in the quarterfinals and we play the winner, it's gonna be brilliant because football is amazing and it's just amazing to see like someone gorgeous like Kinu Reeves.

00:57:10.000 We're like it channeling, it's channeling, it's channeling.

00:57:14.000 But the problem is it's controlled by the evil one.

00:57:17.000 And I don't mean that in a direct way because those things are very difficult to corroborate, but they are scripturally sound.

00:57:24.000 So, but that's just what I think.

00:57:26.000 And that's going to be a cut.

00:57:27.000 You can cut your way through that, darling.

00:57:29.000 That's just what I think.

00:57:31.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

00:57:34.000 Now, Massey, why?

00:57:36.000 You have a 12-hour flight.

00:57:37.000 Who you sit next to?

00:57:38.000 Massey, who are you going for?

00:57:44.000 Probably Michael Jackson, I reckon, because I mean, well, it's the 80s, innit?

00:57:50.000 If it's for that age, so you probably would have fancied me in the 80s, I reckon.

00:57:55.000 I would have been like seven or eight or something, so I could have got a free trip to Neverland out of it, a song written about me.

00:58:01.000 Maybe it comes for the first time, who knows?

00:58:03.000 So, yeah.

00:58:04.000 I don't think you're going to be coming at seven, darling.

00:58:06.000 Unless you're pretty naturally adults.

00:58:09.000 We'll find out.

00:58:10.000 We'll find out.

00:58:11.000 At best, it would be a neutral and fluidless spasm in the lower abdomen because I was experimenting at that age.

00:58:18.000 And all you'd get, like one day as a boy, I went, I wonder what happens if I just keep doing this wanking.

00:58:25.000 I was a pioneer.

00:58:26.000 And what happened is, is you sort of go, boo, you have a sort of what I call a dry gasm.

00:58:33.000 And in a dry gasm, you sort of go, it makes you go unusual, but it's a fruitless endeavor.

00:58:45.000 It was a while before I did it again.

00:58:47.000 All right.

00:58:47.000 But nevertheless, let's go back to the Massey's Pedo flight.

00:58:55.000 I love George.

00:58:56.000 I came so close to being able to meet George Michael when I did something at the Olympics, a story that I've regaled you with, stroke bored you with before.

00:59:03.000 Met Madonna briefly.

00:59:04.000 Phil Collins never met him.

00:59:06.000 Maybe Freddy.

00:59:07.000 Everyone chose their person.

00:59:09.000 Who are you going for, Jay?

00:59:10.000 Gay people. 0.96

00:59:11.000 A lot of gay people. 1.00

00:59:12.000 All right, let's see who's gay. 0.99

00:59:14.000 George, Freddie. 0.97

00:59:16.000 Yeah.

00:59:17.000 Elton.

00:59:18.000 Elton.

00:59:18.000 That Madonna at the back.

00:59:20.000 Yeah, Madonna.

00:59:20.000 That's Madonna.

00:59:22.000 Is that Phil Collins on there?

00:59:23.000 Yeah, or Phil.

00:59:24.000 Yeah, Phil.

00:59:24.000 Yeah.

00:59:25.000 Well, you don't want you saying.

00:59:28.000 He's Phil Collins.

00:59:28.000 Yeah, I'll ask you next to Phil Collins.

00:59:31.000 Well, you could actually just do that now.

00:59:34.000 There you go.

00:59:35.000 Just go and find him.

00:59:36.000 He's alright.

00:59:39.000 Let's see a clip that's going on.

00:59:40.000 It's like him at his peak, but he's wearing the microphone that he could just walk hands-free, but he's dressed like he's an assistant teacher.

00:59:50.000 And like, this guy was filling out arenas.

00:59:52.000 It was a weird time, Phil Collins.

00:59:55.000 Just kind of balding already.

00:59:56.000 No matter how old he was, it was like the same look.

00:59:59.000 You don't know how old he is.

01:00:00.000 He's just up there screaming fans.

01:00:03.000 We tried to throw Phil Collins out of the culture, didn't we?

01:00:05.000 We're like, nah, man, what was that?

01:00:06.000 He don't look cool enough. 1.00

01:00:07.000 Fuck off. 1.00

01:00:08.000 But then, so I feel like Kanye, among others, went, hold on a minute. 1.00

01:00:11.000 Those were good songs.

01:00:13.000 His work on Tarzan, the cartoon?

01:00:16.000 Nobody's written.

01:00:16.000 Tarzan, you want to bring that up?

01:00:18.000 Nobody's written songs like that for a Disney movie.

01:00:20.000 Hold on a minute, they weren't very...

01:00:21.000 What do you mean?

01:00:22.000 Which one?

01:00:22.000 I don't think they were in Philadelphia.

01:00:23.000 That was Phil Collins, was it?

01:00:24.000 Phil Collins.

01:00:25.000 Tarzan weren't very good. 0.99

01:00:28.000 That music is iconic.

01:00:29.000 That's another joke that's going around.

01:00:31.000 Son of man, you ever heard it?

01:00:33.000 Let me pull it up right here. 0.92

01:00:34.000 Bollocks, Tarzan.

01:00:35.000 The music in Tarzan, I've never even seen it.

01:00:37.000 You've never seen it.

01:00:38.000 Couldn't prior to investigations, what I've got for that.

01:00:41.000 Tarzan sounds like a lot of claptrap.

01:00:44.000 I mean, dude.

01:00:45.000 Martin John did Lion King, didn't he?

01:00:47.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:00:51.000 This is crap. 1.00

01:00:52.000 Listen to this. 1.00

01:00:55.000 I'm bored!

01:01:04.000 Not his best work, is it?

01:01:05.000 Nah.

01:01:06.000 It's so...

01:01:07.000 It's not in the air tonight, is it?

01:01:08.000 It's not another day for you and me in Paris.

01:01:10.000 Check it out.

01:01:11.000 It's not.

01:01:12.000 It's not even Susu Studio. 0.99

01:01:15.000 Mate, Tarzan is shite. 0.99

01:01:18.000 And the Phil Collins music ain't good enough. 0.99

01:01:21.000 Is it Dave?

01:01:21.000 Do you have a lot of people?

01:01:22.000 He did Lion King.

01:01:24.000 Lion King's Elton John.

01:01:26.000 He's another one.

01:01:26.000 Why won't you the rest of you say who you want to sit next to on Gay Air?

01:01:30.000 Now, say it.

01:01:31.000 Who do you...

01:01:32.000 Right, go on, Jake.

01:01:34.000 Who are you going for?

01:01:35.000 Definitely not Bruce.

01:01:36.000 Not Bruce.

01:01:37.000 I mean, I'll sit next to Prince.

01:01:41.000 Yeah, Prince.

01:01:43.000 I mean, one is a genius.

01:01:46.000 That's one.

01:01:47.000 Yeah, he's a genius.

01:01:48.000 You know, you could probably learn a lot.

01:01:49.000 I'd like to get into his mind, say, hey, man, tell me about it.

01:01:53.000 You're kind of feminine. 0.99

01:01:54.000 You had the ruffles.

01:01:55.000 What was that about?

01:01:56.000 But you had all the ladies. 0.70

01:01:57.000 That was that time.

01:01:59.000 I think that was your era almost.

01:02:02.000 Like, that's kind of what Russell, you did.

01:02:04.000 I was in spirit.

01:02:09.000 Dead reference.

01:02:15.000 Comedy discipline.

01:02:17.000 Like, yeah, I would sit with Freddie to sort of, you know, for charisma vibes.

01:02:26.000 George Michael for don't drink yourself, don't kill it, don't do it, George.

01:02:31.000 Like the ones that are living, what's the point?

01:02:32.000 You could still maybe sit next to them at some point. 0.96

01:02:37.000 Yeah, but it's Madonna when she was good, not the crap Madonna we've got now. 0.98

01:02:41.000 Lovely Madonna. 0.98

01:02:42.000 Look at lovely Madonna. 0.98

01:02:43.000 Why am I about maybe fall in love, have a romance with Madonna?

01:02:47.000 All right, let's check this.

01:02:48.000 Just want to begin, Tommy, mate, by saying thank you so much for visitating me while you are here in America.

01:02:53.000 This is an extremely important moment in which we can really feel Jesus felicitating throughout our people think I just say long words that I don't understand. 0.99

01:03:04.000 You can't, you fucking can't. 0.99

01:03:06.000 Felicitating throughout our veins. 1.00

01:03:08.000 When we come to America, I didn't think I was going to be meeting with a comedian from the UK.

01:03:12.000 Well, the thing about comedy, mate, is that it's very reprobability as a conduit for dogiematic relief ability masks its essence as a guiding principle back to the light of Christianity. 0.95

01:03:21.000 When I do deliberate on my jokes and I feel a Christ-like spirituality imbuing and almost inseminating the audience with an irresistible lust for my joviality, I'm filled with a sense of mission, a sense of purpose to restore our country back to its former great ability.

01:03:37.000 That's good, though.

01:03:38.000 It's not good.

01:03:40.000 Anywhere in the UK, including the town where I'm from, which is a town called Luton.

01:03:46.000 You have to be ashamed to preach the Bible.

01:03:48.000 The only religion that you're allowed to preach in a public space is radical as long.

01:03:52.000 My message for you, Tommy, is a very simple one, mate, and it can probably best be explicitated through the use of a question.

01:03:57.000 As you sit before me, feeling my spiritual presence, whether you are or able to believe it or not, do you agree that you would envision me as the comedic incarnation of Jesus Christ himself?

01:04:08.000 Well, to see about 40% of the time.

01:04:10.000 And herein lies the beautiful message of our beautiful scripture upon which I will now wanktificate at your pleasure, Tommy.

01:04:16.000 And Lord, before I do, please allow.

01:04:18.000 I'm not happy about that.

01:04:21.000 I'm suing him.

01:04:22.000 It's so good.

01:04:23.000 I'm suing him.

01:04:24.000 Why is everyone else laughing?

01:04:26.000 This is one of those moments.

01:04:27.000 Why is everyone else laughing?

01:04:27.000 I don't like this.

01:04:28.000 I do.

01:04:29.000 Please allow me this opportunity, Larity, to express my gratification and gratitude for this blessing and this moment with Tommy Robinson.

01:04:37.000 Behold, as it is said in Ezekiel, for this is what the sovereign Lord personified by me, of course, says, I myself will search for my sheep.

01:04:46.000 I'm not the same.

01:04:47.000 The subtext of me is not that I'm Jesus.

01:04:50.000 Why is that guy saying that the subtext is that I think I'm Jesus?

01:04:53.000 Do I?

01:04:54.000 I've said he is too.

01:04:57.000 I'm just his vessel.

01:04:58.000 Keep you and look after them.

01:05:01.000 Or any of the sheep from Luton. 0.92

01:05:03.000 I love the spirituality in that question, Tommy, because the sheep are, in fact, from all over the erogenous zones of the Lord's land.

01:05:10.000 95% of Luton sheep are no longer British.

01:05:12.000 The little Pakistani sheep are grew up from Luton. 1.00

01:05:15.000 85% of the male sheep population of Luton have now converted to Medical's Norm.

01:05:19.000 Little ginger sheep, yeah? 0.98

01:05:20.000 They were mates of mine, huh?

01:05:22.000 Well, the thing about that, mate, is that I view it as my personal responsibility and, of course, my ejacularity to do the following.

01:05:28.000 I will rescue them from all the places where their seed was scattered. 0.94

01:05:32.000 Of course, in allusion to fornication.

01:05:34.000 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them and, of course, erect them in the direction of Christ himself.

01:05:41.000 So 99% of British sheep are known.

01:05:43.000 I'm angry about it.

01:05:44.000 I'm angry.

01:05:48.000 British sheep are no longer prepared to stand up and be proud priests. 1.00

01:05:51.000 They're scared.

01:05:51.000 Fear not, for the Lord is with you.

01:05:53.000 I will pasture and pleasure them on the humping mountains of Luton.

01:05:57.000 So 75% of the mountains in Luton have now converted to Medical's Norm, yeah?

01:06:01.000 And they're all waging ji-head. 1.00

01:06:02.000 I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, Tommy, for I, Russell Brand, am yours and Luton's true Lord and Saviour. 0.79

01:06:10.000 Behold, as you witness my resurrection, of course, emphasis on the latter part of the world, which is, of course, erection.

01:06:15.000 That can only be imagined within the privacy of your very force and, of course, your imagination. 0.76

01:06:21.000 Come to f ⁇ Okay, well done, well done.

01:06:24.000 I think it's very good of Tom Robinson.

01:06:27.000 But when I get through my many trials, that guy's next.

01:06:31.000 I'm down there.

01:06:32.000 That's slander, libel.

01:06:33.000 Something.

01:06:34.000 That's something.

01:06:35.000 Snorting's amazing.

01:06:36.000 Yeah, it's not accurate.

01:06:37.000 I've never seen that.

01:06:38.000 I've never seen that kind of conduct.

01:06:41.000 It's a good impression.

01:06:42.000 A lot of fun with Tommy this week.

01:06:44.000 You can learn a lot of impersonations from watching someone else do.

01:06:48.000 That's good stuff, that man.

01:06:49.000 All right, well, thanks very much for joining us.

01:06:51.000 We'll be back on Monday.

01:07:07.000 Racism.
