The Robbie Williams alien chapter in his his audiobook "The Lost At Sea Mysteries" was hilarious. They took a private jet to Roswell & the stewardess told them that Snoop Dogg rents this jet and therefore they can do anything they want. A friend of Robbie's says "can we stand up whilst the plane lands" haha

Eyes wide shut!!

Were they intentionally referencing the Dead Ringers episode where they interviewed each other?
😂😂😂😂😂

I listen to you both while I am working as well as Adam and you all make me happier, I'm clinically depressed but while I work and listen to people being happy.. it makes me feel happier. Thank you and I hope you stay happy and on earth as long as possible, or become a ghost, which would be your best becoming a ghost that can touch people but doesn't have feelings or being a horse that can justify making men fall in love with it's mare like buttocks with a peep of it's tight prize 😂

Are you drunk Chris? No, I've just bummed a donkey, I thought it was a small horse and I'd get to heaven riding a champion, I'm avoiding farms and police

[@Stuffthatsfunny1]

What was their "disagreement" about?

[@adamhayward111]

I've listened to the Grounded episode, (where they do talk about it), but my memory is failing me. I'd imagine it was simply that they were both trying to do very similar things back in the 90s (and beyond) and I assume Louis perhaps got more recognition for his work. It's funny because Ruby Wax was also a similar rival, (to Louis, and I guess - by default - Jon). There must have been something in the shifting culture that brought about this opportunity to question/speak to fringe people.

[@BenHutchinson92]

Back in the late 80s Ronson was a crip and Theroux a blood so they got into some gangbanging but they’ve served their time and have moved forward with their lives now

[@taniaearle4457]

Louis was envious of Jon & competitive with him. Jon is the nice one.

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

"weve seen things that noone else has seen"..... well why didnt you document it so we caould all see it? arent you a documentarian?? seems like a pretty big failure on louis' part if he really feels that way

[@slaxxxer]

Louis Theroux & John Ronson are In different universes of skills wth their craft & me feel that Ronson doth insist unconvincingly about having no animosity.....
