Baddiel is smart cookie too, i loved the way he was trying to pull you back down to earth as soon as any of your limbs wanted to float upwards Russell :)
Jessica Ennis is a beautiful woman. Her looks should not matter. She is an Olympian and an award winning athlete. So she has to be skinny and in a tight dress? Why? I love Kate Middleton but I am angry that our female athletes are treated poorly and talked about this way.
Marcus R Agreed man, at least we'd hear more content as the news just spouts the same bullshit day in day out, I love the trews but I wouldn't want it to become stale because of lack of new news.
You can't change human behaviour through direct action. That only leads to violence and hatred. You can however change it through indirect perception. Which leads to peace and understanding.
I am a royalist, I can't deny it but I totally agree with David B. We create a mythical figure out of those deemed better than us and myth is myth but for someone like Diana or Kate, to be put on a shelf as a beautiful princess who does good for all etc etc is stupid, they just happen to be nice people who are in a position to help others, then again, I suppose that is becoming mythical in today's society
Delusions of the resolution of personal conflicts will forever block true enlightenment. The construct is still there, attachment is still there. Release fear and live for a higher love. Higher love. Flirtations with enlightenment will not serve in reality. Let go of false securities and have faith.
So im at secondary school and they urge us to read books to improve our vocabulary, I think I've learnt more ambitious words from this man than any amount of reading I have consumed.....
We are all sometimes are guilty of complaining of being bored as we move through this life but like Friedrich Nietzsche said “Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?” x
Self-mastery isn't a very Taoist way of looking at it. It suggests struggle and overcoming of nature, whereas Taoism stresses harmony with nature. Laozi (Lao Tzu) said of the Tao that it loves and nourishes all things but does not lord it over them. Self-mastery implies the will to master or rule over oneself. The self that masters is bound to be the ego, the separate, finite self, which in fact is illusory. So self-mastery is futile, since neither the self that masters nor the self that is mastered is real. The Taoist way, as also the Zen Buddhist way, is simply to see that, the irreality of the ego, and not to wrestle with a phantom. Ultimtely there is really no problem. Refer to Alan Watts: he explains this much better than I could. Also, DT Suzuki (and the Mahayana sutras, especially Diamond and Lankavatara). Thanks.
why so few views? Are people getting bored of this stuff? Brand, your revolution needs to be less passive and commentative... But it sure is entertaining and thoughtful.
Fuckin hell Russell, I never considered that true freedom, here in America, could be freedom FROM all the materialism of our own petty wants and desires. This is a revelation to me. We are constantly forced to hear the eternal bone numbing drum beat of MORE~MORE~MORE!!! I feel like I've been chasing it my whole life and I'm no happier than I was twenty years ago. I'm just want to let all that shit go. ..Thanks for the thought mate! You've made a difference
kate vs diana as mythic symbol: i think russell is spot-on about this, including on the efficacy of diana. david foster wallace suffered from chronic depression, btw. i doubt his suicide had anything to do with daoism.
Why is the book that russell often refers to by Krishna murthy? Name of the book etc? Also what is david speaking of when he says the man who killed himself after writing a book, I can't quite catch what he's saying about it. Who is this man and what did he write? Any help would be great ;)
Hey Russell, great work man, great video's. Have you heard of a fellow called Jacque Fresco, he devised an economical system based on a resource based economy. It's called the Venus project, you should check out his documentary, it seems to be what you and myself are striving for. Namaste Kris
Can someone tell me why the Royal Family are of any importance at all? Are they more humane, gifted and beautiful than other people? Nope. Kate Middleton is just a nice middle class girl, pretty like many without much else to recommend her.Thin enough to look good in nice clothes perhaps. What is the big deal? It is all crap, and too much journalistic manipulation and drivelling royalist fans going on and on about these folks in an overly sentimental way, because sadly their own lives are so empty. This family.boring.
Well credit where credit is due..I mean their looks are breathtaking..Ok maybe not so much breathtaking ,but when you look at Charles,Camilla,Liz,and various others,your breath is kind of taken away...like when u get winded.
Russell, I'd like to hear what you think of the Lego Movie? It has some interesting critiques of social norms and examples of "broadcast of nonsense frequency" in the 'everything is awesome' montage in the film. Would be interesting to hear your commentary on the subject. Churr.
Fabooka De Stait ***** Peter Joseph used to work as a free lance, small time trader before he started making movies. It was that exposure that founded his distain for the whole thing. He does not trade now. That would be extremely hypocritical.
obviously David Bad-ille loves Middleton more. If Diana was still alive what would she have to say about the wars going on, after having covered mine fields and Dodi. I think Kate Middleton knows she could never do a documentary on opposing killer predator drones, but Diana easily make one but Diana paid the price for it, which Middleton wouldn't. Go Russel
Payed the price... she's at peace and probably glad to be free of the control and greed of the royal family Although she probably wishes her children were with her the day she left earth
Alain was saying on your program Nietzsche's problem was he didn't have enough sex, he thought too much, then what if.......... the satisfaction of your trivial urges IS the whole point of your quick existence? Seems plausible to me
Diana was charismatic, Kate is not but that is how they want it. Diana took the limelight from Charles and he hated it, he is much happier with the mousy Camilla. I am not interested in Kate like I was with Diana and now prefer William to Charles so if they are manipulating images of royals maybe it is working.
I know as a liberal lefty I shouldn't be saying this, but the title makes it seem like we have to choose which one to have a sexual liaison with. I choose both.
Isn't there enough done about Americans, most people barely know we have more than two accents, one being posh and the other Cockney. In an indirect way hes educating the world on our class system and the ignorance of our media, which I admit is slowly being warped into yours.
Decmatee considering they are all owned by the same couple of people i really doesnt matter where you read the large papers, same diatribe same delusionay comments they feed...but some other papaers would be good just to mix it up abit
OH David..Footballs Coming Home..... but it did pretty damn soon this time..The 3 lions did a dump on Roy Hodgsons head and ran off...never to be seen again.
Two fucking Gemini's going at the same thing from different angles on the what if its all a load of old bollocks viewpoint . viva the eternal revolution :)
more pretty? WHAT..... Jessica Ennis in my subjective opinion is far more attractive than Kate Windsor. Not trying to offend Kate, just saying. *EDIT* you didn't say MORE pretty..... my bad
Baddiel is smart cookie too, i loved the way he was trying to pull you back down to earth as soon as any of your limbs wanted to float upwards Russell :)
Yeah.... this needs more views. These two together are very, very good.
Jessica Ennis is a beautiful woman. Her looks should not matter. She is an Olympian and an award winning athlete. So she has to be skinny and in a tight dress? Why? I love Kate Middleton but I am angry that our female athletes are treated poorly and talked about this way.
When they go off on one trying to keep up is frantic.
Two great minds bouncing off each other.
Two*
johnny richards He is obviously making a toast 'To great minds bouncing off each other'.
Ahh.. Well, it's not a big deal, really. Even if he meant 2, we'd still get the point. I just have a bit of a thing for bad grammar lol :P
Scanini Haha. Hey man, calm your shit.
Scanini I don't think they are Nazi's i just think they are sad arse holes
It's good to have someone challenge Russell. Too many people just nod there head and agree but to have multiple ideas really opens up a discussion.
This would be a great podcast. Both very intelligent, both funny.
Think Russell should do a podcast, even if it were a monthly ordeal. Sure it would be just as popular as the trews.
Marcus R Agreed man, at least we'd hear more content as the news just spouts the same bullshit day in day out, I love the trews but I wouldn't want it to become stale because of lack of new news.
Both very intelligent, both funny, both talking at the same time : /
Russell keep sharing the joy, you are a great wonder.
You can't change human behaviour through direct action. That only leads to violence and hatred. You can however change it through indirect perception. Which leads to peace and understanding.
Russ, your spirit and soul inspire me. I am so proud of the work you do. Love to you.
It's great to see Russell in a debate with someone that he has respect for.
best trews for a while love this episode !!
I am a royalist, I can't deny it but I totally agree with David B.

Read your books a while ago and can't help but think how epic it would of been if you had a daily vlog back then.
How did Baddiel not just laugh the whole time. Great restraint David. Good one guys great pastiche ;)
Hey Russ,a picture is worth a thousand words, while a caption is worth a million meanings. ;-)
Agree with David Baddiel. Catherine Windsor is always the story even though it's the people she meets who are the exceptional ones.
So im at secondary school and they urge us to read books to improve our vocabulary, I think I've learnt more ambitious words from this man than any amount of reading I have consumed.....
What a giant heart! Russell's let this homeless man stay at his flat for the last three days now.
Love your show! Thank you for this! We can all make a difference...and we will one day
We are all sometimes are guilty of complaining of being bored as we move through this life but like Friedrich Nietzsche said “Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?” x

Keep it up Russ
why so few views? Are people getting bored of this stuff? Brand, your revolution needs to be less passive and commentative... But it sure is entertaining and thoughtful.
Yeah yeah yeah I love the TREWS! Are newspapers the same all around the world? our ones in Australia seem to be very similar to the English ones
watching you on bbbm at bigbrotherarchivefullepisodes youtube channel.. you don't change love it
So heavily inspired by Joseph Campbell. Russell Brand has obviously been reading 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces'.
Oh, also what book is russell referring to and holding in this particular episode? Taoism? I understand what it is but what's the book? Thanks ;)
Fuckin hell Russell, I never considered that true freedom, here in America, could be freedom FROM all the materialism of our own petty wants and desires. This is a revelation to me. We are constantly forced to hear the eternal bone numbing drum beat of MORE~MORE~MORE!!! I feel like I've been chasing it my whole life and I'm no happier than I was twenty years ago. I'm just want to let all that shit go.
..Thanks for the thought mate! You've made a difference
Bravo Sandra!
What happened to their debate at the end?! I would like to have heard that. They both appear to have gone slightly red in the face.
Makes me nervous when you two disagree and do the verbal volleyball thing!
kate vs diana as mythic symbol: i think russell is spot-on about this, including on the efficacy of diana.
david foster wallace suffered from chronic depression, btw. i doubt his suicide had anything to do with daoism.
Why is the book that russell often refers to by Krishna murthy? Name of the book etc? Also what is david speaking of when he says the man who killed himself after writing a book, I can't quite catch what he's saying about it. Who is this man and what did he write? Any help would be great ;)
i am so glad he referred to williams baldness
Hey Russell, great work man, great video's.

winterlandboy
Oh so true
Nice one! Thanks :)
And here's me thinking that this video would be a debate on who Russell would most want to have his wicked way with,, personally i'd go for Ennis :-)
Good stuff!
I approve of this teamup :3
Russell, I'd like to hear what you think of the Lego Movie? It has some interesting critiques of social norms and examples of "broadcast of nonsense frequency" in the 'everything is awesome' montage in the film. Would be interesting to hear your commentary on the subject. Churr.
David Baddiel should be on erryday
I wonder if Russell reads Robert Anton Wilson.
Baddiel missed the point regarding Diana and "fitting" the mythological profile.
Russell, watch some talks by Peter Joseph!!
Fabooka De Stait *****
Peter Joseph used to work as a free lance, small time trader before he started making movies. It was that exposure that founded his distain for the whole thing. He does not trade now. That would be extremely hypocritical.
The daily mail is genuinely funny, its like seeing inside the average right wingers head, scared,dumb and arrogant.
You forgot inbred to lol.
WHAT* is the book......
4:23 "hmmm that's very interesting - I don't agree with that"
LOL
yea, no kate middletons no diana is she he he, u two are awsum luved it :D
obviously David Bad-ille loves Middleton more. If Diana was still alive what would she have to say about the wars going on, after having covered mine fields and Dodi.

don't get Brian one of those collars

YAY!! Early Trews!!! :-) I LOve IT!!! :-D
what are you a myth smith? I'll take my Diana straight up with a cup of tears thank you very much.
Twice I have heard on tv David Badiel trying to make fun of people with red hair is that different to racism and if so why ?
I know as a liberal lefty I shouldn't be saying this, but the title makes it seem like we have to choose which one to have a sexual liaison with. I choose both.
hey russel, you used to many big word lol. love you anyway.
Do some American newspapers, dude.
Isn't there enough done about Americans, most people barely know we have more than two accents, one being posh and the other Cockney. In an indirect way hes educating the world on our class system and the ignorance of our media, which I admit is slowly being warped into yours.
I just think American newspapers are worse and his insight would be funny.
stephen conley Yeah i agree Stephen. I'd like to see them, i bet there soo much worse.
Decmatee considering they are all owned by the same couple of people i really doesnt matter where you read the large papers, same diatribe same delusionay comments they feed...but some other papaers would be good just to mix it up abit
OH David..Footballs Coming Home..... but it did pretty damn soon this time..The 3 lions did a dump on Roy Hodgsons head and ran off...never to be seen again.
ALAN WATTS
Kate reminds me of a mean sorority girl
Your comment reminds me of mean
So the moral of the story is - Don't wank and you will have true freedom!?... fuck :/
Mind control helps.
Russell needs to let other people speak when they come on his show. It's really frustrating to watch.
At least not at the same time. Russell has so much to say and is so excitable but when they are both talking you can't get what either one is saying
Err, Jessica every time...! ;)
heptathlon lads.
Two fucking Gemini's going at the same thing from different angles on the what if its all a load of old bollocks viewpoint . viva the eternal revolution :)
is david baddiel a comedian ???????
more pretty? WHAT.....
Jessica Ennis in my subjective opinion is far more attractive than Kate Windsor.
Not trying to offend Kate, just saying.
*EDIT* you didn't say MORE pretty..... my bad
Kate Middleston? Who is she?
She's the Duchess of Borehamwood twice removed from Lord Malcolm Spiers of Chichester..on her mothers side..of course.
Shes the next very unlucky slave entering into the monarchy. Can you say: goodbye freedom as I knew it?
Ah?
I find David boring.
