@Q My memory of growing up watching Russell Brand movies, or Richard Ayoade's shows knows that Russell has long wavy/curly hair with no facial hair, and Richard has a nice curly fro with minimal facial hair. Now Russell has ponytailed his aging hair, with a Karl Marx beard, and Richard is going for the 'dad trying to look young look' with his now close-to-nothing fro, and no facial hair. Also, it's weird seeing Richard not wear a suit.

We all know Ayoade’s self-deprecating demeanor is his public image, so I would love to see behind the scenes footage of him directing, because in that situation he would have to be decisive and confident.

Richard Ayoade is a goddamned comedic genius. You're too damn humble. You have had me laugh to tears on innumerable occasions. I have a Garth Meranghi poster FFS!

I keep trying to tell other Americans about Richard. I think his comedy is absolutely brilliant. Edit: I love him even more after this conversation.

This American loves him. :)

It’s a peculiar intellectual sparring match, like two chess players who don’t really want to play each other right now.

I'd say they didn't spar, they seemed very chilled out, open and authentic, a state of wanting to learn from each other. Maybe, and absolutely no bad intention, maybe you're projecting or in a more defensive state?

They are dancing instead of playing a game I think

Richard has the deepest, sexiest voice I can think of. And I thought this would be Russell Brand monopolizing the interview, but I was wrong. He's a generous listener.

"aiming for greatness is quite silly you should be interested in what you're doing and who knows what it's going to be" "It's also people not being ok with their limitations and not realizing that there's a space here that can also be occupied and it's fine"

Brilliant.

This man is suspiciously hilarious, he made "submarine" and I didnt know that he made one of my tween life changing movies until after I became a fan of him in general. Brilliant dude.

I've only recently seen Richard on the internet. I've fallen hard for this man! I absolutely love him

Two of the most intriguing minds of this age. I'm savoring this interview like my favorite sweet treat. Brilliant!

Ayoade is Richly entertaining and brilliant. Much love

Wow, Richard subtle shade skills are killer.

So pleasant to listen to two intelligent humans NOT yelling at each other.

Richard is brilliant, I love watching him, listening to him, those flashing eyes, beautiful smile, yes he can be quite cutting, esp in Travel Man (no more however😞), Travel Man just won't be the same without him. I only watched the show because Richard was the host. Best of luck for 2020 Richard.

Russell your a wonderful interpreter

What a great pairing - equally eloquent and reasonable.

I’m definitely pleasantly surprised by the seriousness of the video, extremely intellectual

What a lovely heart-warming faith restoring conversation. This is the most relaxed I've ever seen Richard on screen and confirms many things I suspected about his approach and reasoning about what he does. Thank you Russell!

It’s wonderful to see these two men simply be themselves and have a genuine, intelligent conversation. They both seem happy and healthy.

So glad you to got together these are the highlights of my day

IT Crowd... I'm American and that's to this day one of my favorite shows to rewatch!

One of the best shows ever. A fire? At SeaParks?!

Sad to think that Richard doesnt think he has entertained us, he most certainly does. Love the it crowd and gadget/travel man.

Wow, two intelligent erudite human beings having a genuine conversation on the internet

Remember when he was married to Katy Perry and everyone was like what does she see in him he’s full on crazy 😂 then they break up and turns out he’s the sane one.

one can be an addict in many ways, to drugs, to alcohol, to sex, to dramatics. you can confuse these for love. I suspect there was a lot of mutual confusion and not enough actual compatibility.

i love richard ayoade. thanks for bringing him on your show russell youre amazing, this is too amazing

This is a fascinating talk, I usually can't watch/focus on interviews or talks but this really interested me despite not understanding all the references. The calmness and intelligence displayed by both was incredibly comforting as was the mutual respect they show each other.

Just bought Richard's book on audio...like Russell, his voice is too hard to resist.

you guys are so great together. so sweet and brilliant and expansively sensitive to expression and being. do more , please! love ya guts, individually and as one x

Respect to you Russell, in your growth, awareness and reflectiveness of the changing tides of your life

I love that phrase "we are not responsible for how we are received"

Richard's voice! So soothing.

Thank you so much for uploading the whole thing.

Such striking chemistry here. What a rarity in these types of interview situations.

What a mind treat. Richard's humbling disposition makes him the great man he thinks not.

Now, that's one nice and cozy studio.

This is the most beautiful audio to listen to. So calming absolutely enjoyed these 2 having a conversation together 🇬🇧

I've really warmed to Russell Brand from a position of absolute zero. Ayoade On Top is the funniest book I've read this year, I've yet to see the movie though.

I respect and enjoy the road you chose to walk these days Russel, im glad I subscribed, an amazing discussion.

Richard is amazing, 1 minute watching him just makes my day in a happy way
