Give these two a break, they're used to interviewing TV chefs and pop stars. Likewise, Josh is more used to late night TV where you get twenty minutes to have a conversation, not four.
Wasn't he the drummer for the Fleet Foxes? I recognize his comedy from a show at the Santa Barbara Bowl about 4 years ago (or so).. He definitely had the crowd laughing a few times -- probably the most vocal member of the group at the time.
Re: make every mediocre thing he does seem like a work of art? That's what happens when anything gets popular/trendy (cf. Gaga for an extreme example). Obsession can be good for art, depending on which end of the telescope you're looking through.
People in the comment section are so think skinned. He's answering their questions with his humor. He didn't even come off as an asshole, you'd think the English would appreciate his dead pan humor.
I feel as though FJM is committed to the punk tradition of irony in musicians' TV appearances (Nirvana on TOTP, for example), but the context isn't quite oppressive enough for it to be genuinely subversive and Josh is actually a really nice guy, so it comes off a little awkward. The three of them are just too likeable haha.
The interviewers dont really engage in any of his answers here, they just seem to gloss over everything and ask the next question on their list. i mean, hes not the esiest person to talk to obviously, but they could at least try.
Josh cracks me up, I think the hosts did a much better job than what say, "Good Morning America" might have done. They actually made him laugh a few times by playing along. As an American, I can say that most Americans are literalists and won't really get sarcasm this straight faced, they kind of need to be hit over the head with irony and sarcasm to catch on, but it's just my ~cup of tea~
The awkward began already when he had nearly matching shirts with the female interviewer. The kind of guy who says weird stuff the subtle way so it takes a second to process and be like "wait what?". In his own way almost as epic as Tim Minchin.
when two worlds collide. the real world and the vacuous ignorant pretend world of daytime television. this interview says much about the state of the world. "people don't what's going on in the world, and what's more they don't know that they don't know" Noam Chomsky. I feel sorry for Josh having to do this, probably a record company thing.
why? do you feel you'll be judged by the behaviour of certain individuals who happen to be the same colour and nationality as you? Do you judge groups of people based on the behaviour of certain individuals of that colour or nationality? I'm not being mean, Jack, but this is a really stupid thing to say.
Don't be so hard on yourself, son. Misty's one of those blokes that's kind of too cool to promote himself, yet he's desperate for hype. The Roses or the Smiths would never have conceded to appear on BBC Breakfast to be interviewed by lame presenters that don't even like music, yet Misty does. In fact, anyone under 35 will whore themselves for incremental fame. Never sell-out, fam.
I'm ashamed to be a human being. Ashamed for not doing all that it is in my powers to help the needy, animals, which are helpless during our earth-scorching era. That we cannot cooperate to make this a better world. And you're ashamed to be British and white because of a FJM interview? Give me a break, man.
What about songs about doing what the turtle tells you to do. Only Sturgil Simpson can pull that shit off. Shave immediately! Emma. Tell him now please but I do dig the almost mullet and fuck the politics. Much love and I dig those accents can I get one from Costco. Conduit Closing. Cheers awesome
I love Father John Misty but he just comes across as arrogant here. It's not the case that they don't appreciate his sarcasm or can't keep up with him, it's just that he's amusing himself rather than conversing. it's irritating. Granted, some of the questioning is vacuous but personally if I was speaking to someone and they acted in the self-satisfied manner that FJM starts off here, I would go on the offensive, rapidly.
David Timoney seems like he's just having a light hearted conversation. idk where people are getting the arrogance anchors are usually use to pre written scripts and one word answers to make people watching feel comfortable
I agree completely, but I also get the sense that the conversation is amicable and they end with a shakey sense of mutual respect. I think maybe Josh is used to the rudeness of some previous TV interviews and wasn't sure how to handle their polite (but still vacuous) questioning.
I agree, the "stuff" was probably the most cringe-worthy moment of the interview. However I do think overall it was a relatively insightful interview by national media standards. What national morning talk show in the US would even propose any distinction between entertainment and art? Maybe the irony is just too painful to face at the moment...
does anyone else get the feeling hes just trying to be that cool guy by trying to pretend hes not interested in being that cool guy? in my opinion, this guy fucking loves fame.
He does sing about stuff to be fair
I feel like this is one of the best things someone interviewing him could've prompted 😂
Art can serve the function of remembering your life.. love that
This is gold. I love they can't keep up with him. The stuff is overwhelming
This guy has hero levels of sarcasm.
Not a single laugh with "sarcastic Michael Bublé"? What is wrong with those two guys? I'm still laughing as i type this very message
Friggin dry brit humor.... Even tho I knew the joke was coming I still laughed!
Father John misty is my favorite when I’m feeling depressed :D
This is the greatest interview of all time
Presenters are so square, none of his sarcasm pulls off
Which only adds to it
Sarcasm? The guy's a jerk.
They’re too busy covering up child molesters
Give these two a break, they're used to interviewing TV chefs and pop stars. Likewise, Josh is more used to late night TV where you get twenty minutes to have a conversation, not four.
Love his comment about art vs entertainment. This interview also perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the braindead British media.
Wasn't he the drummer for the Fleet Foxes? I recognize his comedy from a show at the Santa Barbara Bowl about 4 years ago (or so).. He definitely had the crowd laughing a few times -- probably the most vocal member of the group at the time.
Yes, Evan.
He’s very bright. Which is why he’s a star.
His speech says he just smoked a joint, but his hand says he just blew 8 rails of cocaine
or maybe he is just being himself
A sativa joint
Or he has bad social anxiety and has an off key sense of humor
They are just barely keeping up with him I love it haha
this so awkward in a beautiful way
In University, Josh minored in Awkward Interviews. Always come prepared.
Is it a trend to try and make every mediocre thing he does seem like a work of art?
Re: make every mediocre thing he does seem like a work of art?
That's what happens when anything gets popular/trendy (cf. Gaga for an extreme example). Obsession can be good for art, depending on which end of the telescope you're looking through.
I love the fact that presenters always try to get deep and thought provoking answers outta Father john, and the dude just takes the piss outta them
He gives plenty of thought provoking answers. He's not this ball of detached irony that so many fans seem to want him to be.
He's was actually very serious about this interview!
You can see the line "Sarcastic Michael Bublé" not phasing any of the host and Josh bein like "well ok lets try serious now" lol.
He's very clever and talented. He also like to write about things.
His cynicism reminds me of when I'm coming off psychedelics and realize how much I distaste humanity after forgetting for so long...
That's totally my weed comedown.
He’s almost constantly on psychedelics. He microdoses LSD to help with his depression.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jesus I couldnt put a finger on why I relate to him so much and this is definitely it
I for one love stuff
interview looks weirdly retro
That's the UK for ya
i love when he said he describes his music to cab drivers as sarcastic michael buble, I snort/chuckle, and the hosts are utterly silent lol. i cant
People in the comment section are so think skinned. He's answering their questions with his humor. He didn't even come off as an asshole, you'd think the English would appreciate his dead pan humor.
lol, his deadpan dry humor totally bombed with these two. Her fake laugh at 4:17 just says it all.
i can't believe i missed this live
"stuff" love it.
You sing about stuff? Question of the year.
I feel as though FJM is committed to the punk tradition of irony in musicians' TV appearances (Nirvana on TOTP, for example), but the context isn't quite oppressive enough for it to be genuinely subversive and Josh is actually a really nice guy, so it comes off a little awkward. The three of them are just too likeable haha.
Well that was pure comedy
exactly
thaaat mustache. everything he answers is brilliant.
He's too smart for them
I have to join that gym.
the brits don't approve of his sarcasm
Not the right flavor
Ironic since the British not only invented but fine-honed sarcasm - see Python, Fawlty Towers, etc...
too cynical
Or they somehow can't recognize it from an American.
We get it. He's just not very good at it.
The fact that the interviewers spent so much time on footwear reinforces the Monty Python outlook on life. 🤪
FJM is on a radically different plane to the interviewers. Some of those questions... I guess it is crap morning television
It really is
The interviewers dont really engage in any of his answers here, they just seem to gloss over everything and ask the next question on their list. i mean, hes not the esiest person to talk to obviously, but they could at least try.
Urine Denial because every question he was answering wasnt really in anyway serious
The irony here is this interview is pure entertainment.
Josh cracks me up, I think the hosts did a much better job than what say, "Good Morning America" might have done. They actually made him laugh a few times by playing along. As an American, I can say that most Americans are literalists and won't really get sarcasm this straight faced, they kind of need to be hit over the head with irony and sarcasm to catch on, but it's just my ~cup of tea~
Jesus! Those presenters are butters. FJM is a G
4:30
Does he ever answer a question sincerely? Imagine lying every time you're asked a question. must be exhausting
He does, watch his Zane Lowe interview. This just wasn't a very serious interview.
he makes a good comment on the distinction between entertainment and art
Both him and the POTUS are on a roll.
Ty Bill "sarcastic michael buble" sounds like an honest answer.
He's a horse's ass.
this is hella awkward
nitetimeradio Beautifully awkward.
STUFF CAN BE A LITTLE OVERWHELMING
The awkward began already when he had nearly matching shirts with the female interviewer. The kind of guy who says weird stuff the subtle way so it takes a second to process and be like "wait what?". In his own way almost as epic as Tim Minchin.
"stuff " I love sarcasm
4:21 what did she ask : "how did you get...." ?? Why did he answered about college ??
subwaysurfer "how did you get into it in the first place?"
Ok thanks but INTO WHAT??!
subwaysurfer haha into performing as the satirical FJM I think? Think she was a bit awkward so the question came out weirdly
J L Ahaha! Ok Yeah I thought the whole interview was kinda awkward
I'd have a beer with him.
Wasn't expecting an uncomfortable interview... ouch!
Lightweight chat with heavyweight thinker
Why does he look so anxious?
Talk about being on completely different wavelengths. These 2 interviewers must be great at a comedy club. Their names should be Chuckles and Huh?
why do they put artists like this on main stream programmes , its painful for both sides
They obviously having a hard time keeping up with him...
he's brilliant and wont try to fit himself in to talk show boxes
lol he's actually playing ball this time around
This whole interview has such a weird energy to it
Fucking hell this was hilarious
Amazing but odd singer just discovered in 2022 ❤️
dont you love it when presenters can't have a human conversation?
he looks better with the beard.
"stuff"
They look so salty at the fact that he wakes up so late while they don’t bahahahaha
Someone needs to write satirical music about FJM himself...
So embarrassed on behalf of Britain for these presenters. Please believe we do have WAAAAAAYYYYYYY better ones
This interview does not feel real lmao
to smart for them, too socially cheeky
he looks like Mozart
What's with the creepy soft-focus soap opera gels on these cameras? Is this normal in Britain?
lol they had no idea how to talk to him.
Easy to see why Piers Morgan on the other side is so popular
only British interviewers are dry enough to keep up with him
He is awkward as fuck with interviews .....love his music mind.
These people don't get him at all hahaha
its awkward cause they didn't get any of his jokes and so he comes off as arrogant but its because of the interviewers
FJM is smoking these 2 british gits with irony. The irony!
Creepy laugh at 2:40
Hahaha oh man
Mr. Tillman looking peak power bottom here.
when two worlds collide. the real world and the vacuous ignorant pretend world of daytime television. this interview says much about the state of the world. "people don't what's going on in the world, and what's more they don't know that they don't know" Noam Chomsky. I feel sorry for Josh having to do this, probably a record company thing.
Well it wasn't as bad as his RadMac interview
he could not care less
Oh wow this is very painful hahah
my god - they say Americans dont get British irony
"so you like to sing about stuff?" ~~~~ One of many reasons why i'm embarrassed to be English and white
why? do you feel you'll be judged by the behaviour of certain individuals who happen to be the same colour and nationality as you? Do you judge groups of people based on the behaviour of certain individuals of that colour or nationality?
I'm not being mean, Jack, but this is a really stupid thing to say.

Never sell-out, fam.
what is stuff in this context, pardon me
I'm ashamed to be a human being. Ashamed for not doing all that it is in my powers to help the needy, animals, which are helpless during our earth-scorching era. That we cannot cooperate to make this a better world. And you're ashamed to be British and white because of a FJM interview?
Give me a break, man.
durrrr what is understatement
My god BBC breakfast are incredibly dry and pointless. They've got no spark when handling a man like this.
What happens when you bring one conscious man to a breakfest TV show?
Awkwardness happens.
"you like to sing about stuff?" Great question, but not exactly a moring show guest... unless you have a twisted sense of humour.
What about songs about doing what the turtle tells you to do. Only Sturgil Simpson can pull that shit off. Shave immediately! Emma. Tell him now please but I do dig the almost mullet and fuck the politics. Much love and I dig those accents can I get one from Costco. Conduit Closing. Cheers awesome

in misty's defence it is pretty fucking early

"comes off as arrogant here..."
You haven't figured this out until now? I love him to death but yeah, he's arrogant as fuck. But who gives a shit
Is it just me or he just has the smallest mouth?
The BBC making fools of themselves once again
palled cure pomedy
HOW COULD TALK SHOW HOSTS HAVE NO PERSONALITY?!
Are they just dumb?
It's a news show and British newsreaders are famously dry. Odd choice to have him on here instead of one of our actual talk shows
this mustache is too pornooooo🤔😆
presenter have no sense of humor
Absolutely terrible interviewers
poop questions
tweeky hands n feet.
BOOS
does anyone else get the feeling hes just trying to be that cool guy by trying to pretend hes not interested in being that cool guy? in my opinion, this guy fucking loves fame.
holy fuck just listened to his new album, what a load of self indulgent shit.
