The old farts from the "Godfather" movies? Laughing. He even made a comment that no women were nominated as best director and then claimed the committee decided to fix that problem by making sure women were no longer hired as directors. His speech was pretty progressive actually.

The three people he's least done that with that I've seen are Gervais, David Lynch and Eckhart Tolle (there might be more but Luminary isn't available here so I will never know for sure) so it's clear he has special reverence to those three people, and to be fair he probably should. Though as interesting as some of his monologues are I do wish he'd let some of his other guests finish their thoughts, he can reserve his own thoughts for his solo videos.

He’s clever is Brand and very funny but becomes a bit self absorbed to say the least. One appearance I love he did was on MSNBC in America “ Morning Joe” and he had them eating out the palm of his hand and took over the show as it was so unprofessional. He’s always been a loon has Russell but it was nice to see Gervais get the respect he deserves yes. As I say too right though.

it's a shame, most people are so sure that they're right and feel the need to prove people wrong as opposed to trying to understand something from a non-bias perspective, for me, you can learn far more when you investigate a view outside of your own than maintaining a tunnel vision like approach.

I know exactly what Ricky is saying about animals when you have a cat that lives with you (cats don't have owners just staff) and it chooses to hop up onto your lap it's still a privilege that animal trusts and loves you also animals love us unconditionally. I looked after my friends cats for a month recently and I loved every minute of time with them and the one that was timid and scared of being in a different house became the one who had a routine of climbing up after his dinner and hop on my lap laying upside down stretched out and I'd scratch his tummy for an hour and it's such a great thing when an animal trusts you like that. Love all animals ❤

I love this purely for this reason: These are two people, with very different opinions, discussing the differences and the reasons behind them, without resorting to offending the other person. Too many people seem to be of the opinion that if you don't agree on something then you must be enemies and that simply is not true. The world needs to be more open to conversations like this where two opposing viewpoints are not trying to convince the other that they are right, they are simply explaining the reasons for their own belief and what it means to them.

I understand so deeply what Ricky talks about with feeling profound spirituality from experiencing nature without having religion, and the true pleasure of being entrusted to act with care for our animal friends. I often stare in awe at beautiful sky, clouds, the moon, the smell of the woods, the beauty of snow covered mountains. I have had cats and dogs, but the times I feel touched to my core is when my rat falls asleep on my chest or when her sisters stare at me and their excitement when I open the cage for them to come out. It's the same feeling when my hamster sits on his wooden house staring at me and climbs into my hand to have a stroke and some tasty treats, it is such an incredible honor to gain the trust of animals who are evolved to fear everything due to being so low on the food chain.

After Life is one of my favorite series. Showing there's no right way to grieve yet it addresses the "stages" of grief. I had to watch with tissues. After Life is beyond brilliant. I felt it so deeply. I've experienced the loss of my child, too many relatives to count, half of my graduating class are dead. I'm 38. When my mother died, I felt relief. I had a cousin intentionally die so he didn't have to spend the remainder of his life in prison. When I began watching After Life, my aunt had begun chemo. We were very close. She died while I was watching the last season. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in the second season. I'm fine and cancer free. After Life helped me. It doesn't matter that it's a series. It touched me so deeply. My aunt and uncle married at 17. When she passed, he was lost. Their life was wild and beautiful. Underneath all their quirks, everything was based on love.

Athiests dont need God. Christians don't need fake sciences. Disprove the God is pointless by hiding behind "science" because God doesnt need nature to do anything since he created the nature. It would be like thinking a computer prgrammer needs his computer.program to prove he exists. The bible is clear not to idolise nature and think God is nature. God is not of this world. He created it just as a builder may have built a building but that doesnt mean him not being insode the creation is proof of no creator of the building. Dumb guys exist in both athiest and fundame talist groups. When someone says tbey are smart but its self-titled label, then be cautious. Usually you are smart because others gave the title of smart to you through things you achieved. Eg nikola tesla actually built demonstratiins for his science to the public to prove things to the lay man not write stuff on paper only. What did einstein do? jack shit. Athiests that dont do jack are not smart athiests. They are just reacting to dumb fundamentalists to feel smart. We live in a time of fake science where people literally think carbon dioxide is killing the planet and british people still think we need a queen rather than being independent like america who actually fought for values that are universally acceptable. We have a long way to go. So sure, go fight the fundamentalist extremist muslims but dont say christians are the same. When was the last time you saw christian rape gangs? I think rocky needs to travel the world. See what christians have done for africans and witness the healings. You wont find miracle in big coties because people there are not suffering. Actually get off your ass to see the suffering of poor people rather than whine that "God is cruel for not helping them", when you can work to help them yourself or act as God's agent. The reason people believe God exists is because you cant create.something from nothing. When you do let me know and i will become an athiest and start making food from thin air and growing plants with my mind. lol

Personifying a dog's response is the same level of thinking as needing cruelty to be aware of kindness. It personally sickens me that atheists tend toward extreme empathy for animals while never mentioning and completly ignoring the Christian calling to care for poor, weak, less fortunate HUMANS. I swear athiest use animals as a virtue signal, and it just seems misanthropic to me. Also, every animal rights non profit leader I've ever know was a massive narcist? Just in it for the limelight, and didnt really give a rip about actually helping animals. Coincidence?

It's an honour to be alive along with these two!

I'm so impressed with Russell in this interview. He was a perfect host letting Rickey make his points and adding his thoughts when appropriate. A wonderful conversation bloomed.Wicked good!

This interview with Ricky Gervais was, by far, one of the best interviews I've ever experienced in my 75 yrs. on earth! First of all, I love the person you've evolved into -- so gentle, intelligent, inquisitive, witty, compassionate, and spiritual -- and it is a profound pleasure to watch you interview any of your guests. As far as Ricky Gervais is concerned, I have fallen in love with him as a result of this interview. His humor, his intelligence, his humility, his love of animals, and his "atheism" are all the characteristics I love about him and I wish I could sit in his living room and discuss the world with him for hours on end. Thank you so much for this wonderful hour I got to spend with both of you!

You hit the nail on the head with "ACTIVE LISTENING". Most people who have a channel like this, or even talk radio, they are so used to being able to talk without interruptions from other people, this not having to "listen". Listening and actually comprehending someone else's perspective is an art. So few people are able to listen without their own thoughts interrupting, that they really don't listen. They are too busy forming their own thoughts instead of listening. Russell Brand is quite clearly an expert at not only speaking intelligently, but absolutely an expert at LISTENING. That's how people are able to have a conversation like this, and not end up in a huge argument. They are both communicating with respect for one another, but they are listening, and you can see it in Russell's eyes and on his face that he is intently listening. I respect that... Highly respect that! It takes a lot to earn my respect, but that right there... How can you not respect someone who is so interested in what someone else has to say, that they listen with intent to do just that... Listen.

Such a good conversation. For me, God, Source, etc., is intelligent energy. We, people, create with that energy. Make of it what you will. When I was 11 yo (1960), sitting in Mr. Hibbs 6th grade class, contemplating my grief over my young brothers death, I had my first significant “spiritual” experience. I heard a clear communication. “Do you think that what holds you together, what makes you move, what makes you think, could ever die?” At same time, my visual experience was of my body separating, literally morphing into energy, while simultaneously, an engulfing sense of peace surrounded me. No one was talking about how everything is energy, in those days. 🙏

To me, it's a laugh full of sadness. Thanks to Russell, I could finally understand a lot of Ricky's bad jokes, when it came to God and religion. He is a great guy, saddened to his core by the fact that he gave up on his belief, at some point along the way. He gave up on his creator, to hang on to his pride. A bad trade off. A false pride, derived from a need to feel in control. It's OK not to feel like you know everything Ricky. It's OK to be funny too, as long as you know the limits and don't push things too far. For you then run the risk that the joke may turn around and bite you. And I have a feeling you will not like the consequences. Good luck Ricky, I pray you will one day find your way back Home.

That tendency- to accept a belief and tenaciously defend it without properly testing its veracity, and to demonize any person or group that does not hold that particular belief- is what Ricky is calling “dogma” here. I do not identify as an atheist, but it seems to me that Ricky, Sam and (maybe?) Richard simply view atheism and the scientific method as means of clearing the conversational table of subjects for which there is insufficient evidence to be accepted on an empirical basis. What is dogmatic about that? Faith is faith and empirical data is empirical data. So, even though these men are as susceptible as the rest of us to dogmatic thinking, they see it as a weakness to be overcome and not as a virtue to be proudly held as many religious and political ideologues do.

They are also extremely rigid in their faith, many anthropologists have referred to this kind of faith as a modern religion, which I think is pretty accurate, you see the problem is people don’t stop believing, you get rid of one religion and the vacuum is filled by something else, usually by something quite radical, like environmentalism, politics or scientism, I will concede that scientist is mostly the least radical of the three, but they definitely have their extremists that’s for sure.

So much intelligence and understanding between these two absolutely amazing people.

I loved this convo, very insightful and honest. thank you!

The Brits have something on Americans -- The ability to engage in civil discourse with one another while remaining amicable, respectful, and friendly (at least among these two). Loved this dialogue. Kudos to Russell and Ricky.

I'm absolutely in awe of these two men. I feel as if I've been at university for a little over an hour; with two of the best professors! Learning is the way to overcoming hate and so many other ill's of this planet. Thank you Russell & Ricky

What an amazing interview! For as candid as Ricky is, this I think is the most honest and candid I've ever heard him. Great job Russell.

Russell and Ricky! Thanks so much for bringing your Considered and unapologetic outlooks together in this program! You both bring enjoyment and enlightenment to so many! I wonder if either of you have read Michael Pollan’s recent book, “How to Change Your Mind”. It’s about psychedelic experiences, history, and their use as end of life anti-anti anxiety treatment. He reports that some people who have experienced the “journeys” have felt, and reported their sort of involuntary melding into “oneness” with something beyond their experience, and the removal of fear of death afterwards. He also reports that people who meditate can achieve a similar effect. (As an artist, I used to slightly regret my lack of interest in the practice of meditation, until I read somewhere that painting/artmaking is a FORM of meditation.) Anyhow, very good book on mind travels…. Thanks again for the great discussions! 🤗 Patty in New Hampshire, US
