I've got to say that I don't mind Russell Brand.
But his audience here spoil everything. Not only by their "bully's mate" style of giggling at every time Brand makes light of something, but because Brand does it specifically for them. He's come across really well in one-on-one interviews and his early pod-casts used to have me in stitches. In this sort of situation, though, he doesn't do himself any favours.

I have to agree.
He has the ability to be as good as someone like Louis Theroux in approaching difficult people with friendliness. However, he is just playing to the crowd here.
Can't help but feel the main reason the radio shows worked were because of Matt Morgan being in a position to cut him down to size when the ego took over.

Yeah, his two side-kicks on the podcast (one was Matt Morgan, I can't remember the other)...
...were good at keeping him in check and able to make Brand laugh as well. They certainly weren't your typical 'ego cronies' like Chrises Evans and Moyles were compelled to have surrounding them at all times.

I normally can't stand Russell Brand
But he came out of this quite well.

like the opposite of what fray bentos sais....
But I agree with you both, yes this was one of his better ones, compared to his more recent cockness. But not as good as old stuff he did before he became said cock.

He just manages to push my buttons
somehow. He recently said all sorts of the right things about drugs, but did it in such a way that I wanted to repeatedly punch him up the throat.

Agreed
Russel Brand needs to be locked away somewhere quiet.
