Eddie Izzard is a British stand-up comedian, actor, writer and political activist. He's currently on a world tour with his show "WUNDERBAR" and can be seen in the US this summer.
Eddie Izzard is probably twice the man of most men. Headline of this video didn't mention that he ran 43 marathons in 51 days in 2009 & in 2016 ran 27 marathons in 27 days. Does standup in 4 languages. Good guy, super intelligent & so funny.
@@NPCHSN Women have performed them you are correct... but he is a man so I am comparing him to most men (& women) who have not run so many consecutive marathons plus also performing stand up in 4 languages. Don't be ridiculous its obvious he is a hard worker & should be credited as such. Sorry your panties got in twist.
If this is your first exposure to Eddie, please do yourself a favor and watch his special Dressed to Kill. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, it makes me cry with laughter every single time.
This guy does what he wants. He isn’t yelling at people demanding respect and special treatment telling them what to say or call him. He just does his thing and is totally normal. What a badass!
@@WhatsTheTakeaway so true.. eddie is a real gem that way.. but she's also just a down right decent human being, which i love. she doesn't let transgenderism define her, which i appreciate and respect.
What a strange way for a man to dress. Who gets up in the morning with the idea that THAT is appropriate. It's just in bad taste to be honest. Izzard needs to give him advice fast.
Oh I get it... you're low-key making fun of Eddie by making it seem like you're talking about Joe. And all of these "ready to be mad" people buy it! Hahaha brilliant!
looooove Stephen Fry! would love to see Hugh Laurie on as well for different reasons, but I always think of those two together because of their old show.
I understand his cross dressing way more than people who actually change the chemical makeup of their bodies...seems he is 100% cool with who he is and that's awesome.
You dont need to interview him , just let him say whats on his mind , not selling Joe short , I just dont want to waste time listening to Steven , answering questios from Joe !
Eddie Izzard comes across as such a lovely person in this interview. This is one of the episodes where the conversation flows really well - one of my favourites.
"Do you have a flag?" Best line from an awesome special. Eddie is amazing and it's cool to see him still working. ruclips.net/video/uEx5G-GOS1k/видео.html
@@YeIsBornAgain What did Joe not push back on? Did you stop listening or not pay attention when Eddie said he agreed the athletics thing is an issue and he doesn't know what the answer is?
@@YeIsBornAgainI get what you´re saying, however I don´t think the pupose of the interview was specifically to talk about the transgender issues; Joe was interviewing the comedian, actor Eddie Izzard who happens to be transgender and also runs marathons and wants to go into politics (which I think is really an intelligent move to help address the issues of transgender people in a very efficient way). It seems to me that the fact that they had a normal conversation like two respectful human beings helps people to see that in the end we´re all deserving of respect and equal rights, even though we are and can be all unique and individual. It sets an example on how to be decent to one another, especially cause Joe is such a manly man and that reaches out to all the guys who identify with him and tells them to be cool about differences. I thought it was very smart, actually to not dwell too much on the transgender issues, cause in this case it was more about showing how easy it is to treat one another with dignity and look beyond differences. We do need more interviews that talk about the need for equal rights and that specifically focus on all the issues that are daily faced by the LGBTTQ people, of course, but this was also a great move to fight prejudice.
I've barely started the video, but where are you guys getting that Eddie Izzard is transgender? Hasn't he always been a heterosexual transvestite (a straight man who enjoys dressing in women's clothes)?

T. Truth actually, it was the best only because it was live and uncut. Now we don’t know how or what’s been self censored or edited. Now it’s just manipulated nonsense.
Saw Eddie live 2 times in the last year. First show made me laugh, and second made me cry. We need more humans like Eddie. And yes, Stephen Fry would be great!
I've loved Eddie Izzard since I was a 9 years old. I'm so glad he is still such a positive comedian and I adore him. I'm also glad that the comments are mostly positive. What a nice conversation.
As an American I was never given the wonderful gift of "Fry and Laurie" when it was aired, I became fans of them both organically, much later through Laurie's dramatic work and Fry's speaking/debating/activism.. I had no idea either of them were comedians (by trade, anyway) until I found "Qi" .. fucking amazing show, I watched every single episode in what must have been record time, and in the process of searching for more Stephen Fry, I found "Fry and Laurie" .. So good. so, so good. I was able to *ahem* obtain the entire catalog and it has a special place on my hard drive forever.
I don’t understand people who get angry or leave abusive comments cause some guy decides to wear make up and a dress. I mean if it makes the guy happy and doesn’t hurt me or anyone else, then who cares what he does?
it's really silly, isn't it? transgenderism doesn't define a person anyway. eddie is so so so much more than just transgender including kind, clever, witty, generous, determined, brave, hard working, smart, funny, and just a down right decent human being.. what more can you ask for? he's (or she, I suppose huh?) always been eccentric, odd, and wonderful... but honestly, she's just entertaining as fuck. always love watching the standup specials.
@@jillybeangaming I'm not sure izzard identifies as a woman you know. Pretty sure he's open about being a straight man who likes to dress as woman. Definitely him in this case.
@@ratharyn1834 did you watch the video? :p jump in around 8:22.. I think that's where they start discussing it. Eddie is transgender. I always thought he was just eccentric and a cross dresser, but apparently he came out as trans.. he considers himself gender fluid really.. so idk whether he prefers he or she, since he has "boy mode and girl mode." but he doesn't seem like the type to be bothered either way. none of that really matters though because Eddie is still just a genuine, eccentric comedian and all around decent human being.. trans or not.
This podcast is important. I just had a conversation with my 16 year old son who asked why that gay guy is dressed like a woman. I told him that hes not gay, he asked whys he dressed like a woman. I said because it's his choice , he said but won't people make fun of him. I said Yes, but only the ones that are not as manly as he is...... took awhile but the message finally sunk in. Keep your heart and mind open, it's over in only a few fleeting years , make it count.xx
Respect.... THAT is how you have a reasonable, intelligent, and informative conversation about it while promoting understanding. If only the anti-trans, as well as the radical trans and SJW's could wrap their heads around such a simple concept. The world would be a better place overall.
@@brianjones8432 God forbid there's another war. The west would be crushed now. We're all weak and concentrated on boys looking nice in dresses. We'll be arguing about pronouns when ISIS finally sweep into western Europe.
@@aliboyaliman6207 No... Most of us just don't give a shit either way how others care to dress, what their sexual preference is, or what they decide they want to be. It's really that simple. I admire a persons bravery for being whatever they want to be and doing it without fear, so long as they aren't attempting to infringe on other peoples personal liberties. That my friend, is the definition of freedom...... Something I would gladly pick up a gun to defend if there were ever such an invasion like the one you describe. And I'm pretty sure everyone, gay, straight, trans, whatever, would be fighting by my side to defend that same freedom.
@@brianjones8432 I'm gay myself and I'm seeing our society become extremely feminised. Masculinity is considered 'toxic'. That's not so in China or Russia. We'd be fucked if a war began. Thank fuck for the nuclear deterrent.
He fucking Hates America. He only makes movies for the money, he publicly denounces America in public in China he is sucking the Chinese governments dicks. He disowned his own son for smoking a bit of weed. He a Chinese puppet.
I served 22 yrs in the British military - it warms my heart that Eddie says he would like to have served. Knowing what I know now, Eddie's Transgender issues wouldn't have been a problem. As long as he could get from point A to point b carrying about 60lbs of equipment and weapon, there's no issue. Eddie is a hard transgender individual - 80 marathons.......love the show Joe. All day...👍
I first saw him on a tv clip and went immediately to order his comedy dvds. I remember watching him with just pure delight 😃😍 with my kid sister in the middle of the night at my folks house in rural Missouri. My old man wondered through the den and saw Eddie all decked out in sequins and full makeup on his tv and he was speechless!
The strong self-confidence and being so comfortable in one's own skin is an easy parallel to make, as well as both being very witty and engaging people
@@markbuckley6952 no sure, his mate was recently talking about how he's not as "bad" as people think just yet. If he's able, I'd love to see the Big Yin on Rogan. The end of a leg.
I love how Joe often expresses himself in a way whereby he isn't entirely sure what he's talking about, but he is trying to understand and expand his awareness.
Joe is doubtlessly very intelligent and verbose. He has a tendency to change his thoughts/mindset depending on who he has on as guest. I don't mind. It could be him keeping an open mind, for all I care, but I have no delusions that he just isn't doing it for views and to appeal to as large an audience as possible. Again, nothing to take issue with. Love listening to Joe's pod cuz of all the interesting guests he has on.
Jesus Christ really?? sort the comments by newest rather than highest ranked. And... go to JR's IG account and scroll through the pic of Izzard there and read those. I couldn't sleep last night through sheer despair for my species. Every 4th or 5th comment was either "what the fuck is that?" or "not watching this." I honestly thought we were past this.
@Macsen Wledig Do you know anything about that play? Or did you just believe what someone else told you to believe without actually doing any research? (I suspect it may be the latter!)
Eddie Izzard was one of the first comedians I fell in love with. Death Star Canteen and his bit in Glorious about not being able to use the printer were the best bits :) Love them very much.
I love his bit on the Irish cease fire talks. 'The nail is on the gun, if you could just sign the ......the pen is on the paper, it's not writing anything but if you just put down the gun...'
I have been in stitches listening to eddie over the years.....but I have also always been in awe of him..... seeing him for the 6th time in Dublin in November..... hes a truly great human being
I swear to God, probably the most interesting guest Joe’s had on. Ive always been aware of Eddie Izzard on the periphery, had no idea he was so eclectic(Jeez I don’t know how to describe him). I’m a big Graham Hancock fan, but as a PERSON, Eddie Izzard is just, like, he wins the game of life, please go on to the next level, thank you.
Totally, utterly, brilliant. What did Eddie say halfway through? 'Be brave and curious, not fearful and suspicious'. I'm stealing that and spreading it around.👍
I saw Eddie Izard live when I was 16, wasn’t that into stand up comedy at the time (maybe being young your sheltered to many apart from the mainstream comedians) but Eddie opened me up to true comedy A credit to Britain and a legend of the game 🇬🇧 ❤️
I'm very sympathetic to Eddie - have been since the 90s. However, 20 years on, he seems to still really, really need our validation, which is a little odd. I hope he finds peace in politics.
That was a pleasant 3hrs, feeling charged now. Eddie Izzard left an impression of uplifting, endearing, witty, faf, humble and all round good egg. cheers
i think the real reason is because when he goes live, he posts tooo many pod casts at once, then doesnt post for a couple days. especially when he was on vacation, he didnt post for a week or so. this way - he can rack up many videos pre-recorded and post 1 a day instead of 2 a day, so when he takes a break for a couple days he can still keep releasing videos. plus, itll be the same time every day for people to check it + hes getting more watch time on old videos because 75% of people havent seen all episodes
thats mostlikely why he took a 2 day break , then posted 2 MMA shows, then started daily podcasts again. he probably did 2 shows a day to scale up inventory, then he will be able to take more breaks & keep us happy with daily new videos
@@rochat I know just what you mean. I think it's something that experts still disagree over. It's clear that some people are in a body of a gender different than their brain thinks is right. The wrong body if you like. But things like gender fluidity I think experts disagree over. I don't know if anyone really understands what's going on
@@freedommatters3176 transexual is a man or woman who still enjoys the opposite sex while also dressing as the opposite gender. in his stand up special dressed to kill, he explains it. but I did hear him refer to himself as transgender In this interview. so I assume he has decided to actually complete the gender swap.
@@arianajessie420 hmm. A transvestite is someone that dresses as the other gender. I thought transexual is someone that's in the wrong body. If they are in the wrong body and attracted to their original and incorrect gender then they would be homosexual following the logic they are in the wrong body..the confusing thing is when people say they are both genders gender fluid or neither gender. I'm not sure psychology and science understands yet.
Hi April thanks for the comment April. But I feel the point has been lost on you. He wasn’t talking about invading women’s toilets at all. I wish you god speed through life... you seem to need it more than most.
Nicholas Elliott why because I object to a man giving away women’s rights? Sex separated spaces are in the equality act. Unisex spaces have higher rates of sexual assaults on women. They’re not his spaces. They’re ours, and we don’t want to share them with men. It’s not intelligent to ignore the needs of girls and women, it’s misogyny.
Nicholas Elliott oh and FYI, he’s publicly talked about changing in women’s toilets years ago with a group of young girls in there who chased him out. So actually yes, he invaded women’s spaces and probably has many times.
April hi April thanks for your response. Firstly I didn’t know about his openly changing in women’s toilets. I would definitely agree that’s a HELL NO! but I don’t know at this juncture if that’s true or not! (Pardon my ignorance) secondly it was on this issue I disagreed with his vue I don’t think toilets should be admeenable to all. .. especially in bars and night clubs... I do believe that would cause a massive issue... people have been getting drunk, doing Drugs /having sex in bars/nightclub s since they came to fruition... but having a unisex toilet In that environment is asking for trouble on all sides of the equation. So I agree with you not because (as you say I’m defending or are offended( but because you raise a good and important point which I happen to agree with. But Eddie is openly saying he doesn’t have the answers and he has my respect throughout this whole conversation because of his wit and genuine courtesy in the environment he is in and still manages to be unique yet open to being wrong as well as right!
Ted Goulet I remember Joe bringing him up before. Said he ran an insane amount of marathons in a small timeframe. I can respect him for that alone. I’m a pretty athletic dude but I’m not running one mile for no purpose other just doing it let alone multiple marathons lol Gotta be tackling someone or running down a deep ball.
I saw Eddie on the “save womanby street” march in Cardiff a few years ago and really regret not having the courage to say hello. He’d be an asset to our parliament and the parliamentary Labour Party.
@@grizzlygamer8891 I'll check out Glorious. I damn near wore out the tap of Dressed to kill i have, haha ... Britain! what? what's that behind your back? oh just India and number other countries......
Me and my mate were lifting a load of weed at dublin Airport and i spotted him, i said to my mate "Theirs bloody Eddie Izzard!!" he replied "Who the hell is Eddies Izzard... haha he was polite and nice and told me to make it a quick one when i asked for a photo which came out all blurry...but heck least i met him..
Joe: Thailand has it figured out. Land of the smiles (not a direct quote) Thailand: Military Dictature, (very) ilegal to badmouth the king, harsch punishment for drugs (punishable by death), riots more or less every year. Tourist-thailand is nice though.
The slogan has history as does the reason outside of the capital voices are not raised. Not all language is spoken. Also it was the English that changed our dress; )
i agree, nick. Eddie is one of the most genuine, decent human beings around.. and she gives a good name to the trans community for sure. unfortunately, the trans community has been overtaken by sjw activists and whatnot, but when a real, chill trans person comes along, it's refreshing, and it definitely brings positivity to the concept in my mind.
True genius of our generation and the country I live. Been a huge fan of Eddie since I was a kid. And speaking as a straight male, has always been a big influence on me to not care what anyone thinks and be happy doing what you want. Intelligent people inspire me.
You may be underestimating jocks - maybe the stereotype isnt' that accurate. I've been at Eddy Izzard concerts - packed full of jocks and every other walk of life. Almost nobody cares if you just live you life and don't "rub people's faces in it".
@@jameswhite1910 fair point, but I'd say people's open opinion on trans is still pretty gross and binary (but perhaps I spend too much time on youtube and not in comedy clubs? Eddie's demographic are educated and affluent

@@loverainodie Yeah, well, right now we're ALL wanting to see the rioters imprisoned for sedition - they truly believe that they are about to overthrow the current order and replace it with something more Marxist - BLM in particular. Sadly, this means that legitimate protests have been pre-empted by these #usefulidiots. And as you are aware, we do have a LOT of legitimate things to protest right now. I mean, if many of the protests are just cover for violent overthrow of the government, how do you know what's "war" vs "protected rights"? These people are intentionally damaging the very core precepts of a free society. Hang tough, next year maybe you'll be back out there with your school banner (or at least next year's class might be). Simple truth: when someone starts a war, we get martial law. And right now EVERYBODY is trying to overthrow the government.

@@bigfan1041 I'd wager that a decent bit of of those dislikes are not as much about Eddie's comedy and personality, as they are people being uncomfortable with Eddie just being who he is. Of course people have their preferences and I'm not at all denying that, but I wouldn't even be slightly surprised to see that there were other reasons for that ratio.
@Mick Taylor woah bud, getting a little angry there. Having some curious thoughts? Projecting some inner self loathing? Jeez dude, why do you give a fuck what another person does with their life, it what concrete way has he negatively affected your life? Live and let live. Must be tough living with such anger. Pity
Because comedy had a huge boom about 4 years ago and the scene grew at a rapid pace with people finding the burrs, rogans, Jeffries and whatnot. Bet most comedy fans now haven’t seen a Carlin routine because of many new fans there is. Never cared for eddies standup but he’s a good lad
And everyone doesnt speak english, believe it or not but there is stand up in other languages and cultures too. I doupt he's a hit in saudi arabia for example
Do you have any idea how many comedians exist... Hell I didn't even know Joe Rogan did stand up till a few years ago, yet I've been consuming stand up for decades

PLEASE get Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie on the show. That would be mind blowing
As an American I was never given the wonderful gift of "Fry and Laurie" when it was aired, I became fans of them both organically, much later through Laurie's dramatic work and Fry's speaking/debating/activism.. I had no idea either of them were comedians (by trade, anyway) until I found "Qi" .. fucking amazing show, I watched every single episode in what must have been record time, and in the process of searching for more Stephen Fry, I found "Fry and Laurie" .. So good. so, so good. I was able to *ahem* obtain the entire catalog and it has a special place on my hard drive forever.
Hugh Laurie would be up there in the top 10 JRP for me! House was absolutely amazing!
@@salal-abdullah3571 totally agree my friend, loved house
Fry was on Sam Harris’s podcast not long ago. I think he would be much more suited to Joe’s :)
PETITION!!!!
I don’t understand people who get angry or leave abusive comments cause some guy decides to wear make up and a dress. I mean if it makes the guy happy and doesn’t hurt me or anyone else, then who cares what he does?
It's insecurity and self hatred.
And fear of their own sexuality
it's really silly, isn't it? transgenderism doesn't define a person anyway. eddie is so so so much more than just transgender including kind, clever, witty, generous, determined, brave, hard working, smart, funny, and just a down right decent human being.. what more can you ask for? he's (or she, I suppose huh?) always been eccentric, odd, and wonderful... but honestly, she's just entertaining as fuck. always love watching the standup specials.
@@jillybeangaming I'm not sure izzard identifies as a woman you know. Pretty sure he's open about being a straight man who likes to dress as woman. Definitely him in this case.
@@ratharyn1834 did you watch the video? :p jump in around 8:22.. I think that's where they start discussing it. Eddie is transgender. I always thought he was just eccentric and a cross dresser, but apparently he came out as trans.. he considers himself gender fluid really.. so idk whether he prefers he or she, since he has "boy mode and girl mode." but he doesn't seem like the type to be bothered either way.
none of that really matters though because Eddie is still just a genuine, eccentric comedian and all around decent human being.. trans or not.
Eddie Izzard is the one and only standup that can make me belly laugh the entire way through a set.
I think he's crap at stand-up, he started out OK and has been getting worse for the last 20 years.

This podcast is important. I just had a conversation with my 16 year old son who asked why that gay guy is dressed like a woman. I told him that hes not gay, he asked whys he dressed like a woman. I said because it's his choice , he said but won't people make fun of him. I said Yes, but only the ones that are not as manly as he is...... took awhile but the message finally sunk in. Keep your heart and mind open, it's over in only a few fleeting years , make it count.xx
Respect.... THAT is how you have a reasonable, intelligent, and informative conversation about it while promoting understanding. If only the anti-trans, as well as the radical trans and SJW's could wrap their heads around such a simple concept. The world would be a better place overall.
@@brianjones8432 God forbid there's another war. The west would be crushed now. We're all weak and concentrated on boys looking nice in dresses. We'll be arguing about pronouns when ISIS finally sweep into western Europe.
@@aliboyaliman6207 No... Most of us just don't give a shit either way how others care to dress, what their sexual preference is, or what they decide they want to be. It's really that simple. I admire a persons bravery for being whatever they want to be and doing it without fear, so long as they aren't attempting to infringe on other peoples personal liberties. That my friend, is the definition of freedom...... Something I would gladly pick up a gun to defend if there were ever such an invasion like the one you describe. And I'm pretty sure everyone, gay, straight, trans, whatever, would be fighting by my side to defend that same freedom.
@@brianjones8432 I'm gay myself and I'm seeing our society become extremely feminised. Masculinity is considered 'toxic'. That's not so in China or Russia. We'd be fucked if a war began. Thank fuck for the nuclear deterrent.
Keep it up, Optimal. Maybe your son's mind will open up so much he'll 'realize' he's a transsexual and ultimately become one of the 40%.
INTERVIEW JACKIE CHAN!!! I want you to talk to him about all his injuries, stunts, and martial arts would be an interesting podcast
That would be dope!
Omg yes!!
Have you ever heard him speak english from his own mind. Not run lines.
He fucking Hates America. He only makes movies for the money, he publicly denounces America in public in China he is sucking the Chinese governments dicks.
He disowned his own son for smoking a bit of weed. He a Chinese puppet.
definty damn, really ?? Ima look all that up. He’s always portrayed in a positive way
I served 22 yrs in the British military - it warms my heart that Eddie says he would like to have served. Knowing what I know now, Eddie's Transgender issues wouldn't have been a problem. As long as he could get from point A to point b carrying about 60lbs of equipment and weapon, there's no issue. Eddie is a hard transgender individual - 80 marathons.......love the show Joe. All day...👍
thank you for your service
I'm American but still thank you for your service
lefu and Tylerp. Thank you, we all try to do our bit in different ways. It's what makes life so interesting.
Genius who's able to talk at a level that just pulls you into the interview. Eddie is one in a billion.
Amen
Genius my arse
I first saw him on a tv clip and went immediately to order his comedy dvds. I remember watching him with just pure delight 😃😍 with my kid sister in the middle of the night at my folks house in rural Missouri. My old man wondered through the den and saw Eddie all decked out in sequins and full makeup on his tv and he was speechless!
@@Sashas-mom i can understand how eddie would appeal to americans... he is thick as shit.
Izzard is boring because he has a low IQ.

Best comment
Reminds me of the Joe/Shapiro episode(?) where he said that Caitlyn Jenner was voted Woman of The Year after only being a woman for 6 months. Haha
Please Jamie pin this
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 men r the best st everything. Facts
Eddie strikes me as if Bowie handed the baton to him and said,
"You're next darling, give 'em a good show".
Wonderful energy from him ❤️
he definitely has a bowie swagger about him
The strong self-confidence and being so comfortable in one's own skin is an easy parallel to make, as well as both being very witty and engaging people
I’ve always thought there was similarities between them. Good to see I’m not the only one!
erm... no

According to the information it's not much of a choice.
Well, they're *_OUTTA CAKE!!_* They only had 3 bits to begin with, and they didn't expect such a rush.
I love how Joe often expresses himself in a way whereby he isn't entirely sure what he's talking about, but he is trying to understand and expand his awareness.
Joe is doubtlessly very intelligent and verbose. He has a tendency to change his thoughts/mindset depending on who he has on as guest.
I don't mind. It could be him keeping an open mind, for all I care, but I have no delusions that he just isn't doing it for views and to appeal to as large an audience as possible.
Again, nothing to take issue with. Love listening to Joe's pod cuz of all the interesting guests he has on.
These have to be some of the most positive comments I've read for a JRE guest. My faith in humanity restored.
I was just thinking that. We need more Eddie Izzards. He is very charming. He reminds me of my aunt that smokes cigars and loves Elvis lol.
Jesus Christ really?? sort the comments by newest rather than highest ranked. And... go to JR's IG account and scroll through the pic of Izzard there and read those. I couldn't sleep last night through sheer despair for my species. Every 4th or 5th comment was either "what the fuck is that?" or "not watching this." I honestly thought we were past this.

Eddie Izzard was one of the first comedians I fell in love with. Death Star Canteen and his bit in Glorious about not being able to use the printer were the best bits :) Love them very much.
I love his bit on the Irish cease fire talks. 'The nail is on the gun, if you could just sign the ......the pen is on the paper, it's not writing anything but if you just put down the gun...'
The food is hot

Every bit the lady, and still ten times the man most men will ever be. Izzard is a fuckin' legend.
I have been in stitches listening to eddie over the years.....but I have also always been in awe of him..... seeing him for the 6th time in Dublin in November..... hes a truly great human being
I swear to God, probably the most interesting guest Joe’s had on. Ive always been aware of Eddie Izzard on the periphery, had no idea he was so eclectic(Jeez I don’t know how to describe him). I’m a big Graham Hancock fan, but as a PERSON, Eddie Izzard is just, like, he wins the game of life, please go on to the next level, thank you.

That was a pleasant 3hrs, feeling charged now. Eddie Izzard left an impression of uplifting, endearing, witty, faf, humble and all round good egg. cheers
Plot Twist: Jamie has been telling Joe the podcasts are being live-streamed but they are not.
He can definitely make more on his Clips channel this way 😉
i think the real reason is because when he goes live, he posts tooo many pod casts at once, then doesnt post for a couple days. especially when he was on vacation, he didnt post for a week or so. this way - he can rack up many videos pre-recorded and post 1 a day instead of 2 a day, so when he takes a break for a couple days he can still keep releasing videos. plus, itll be the same time every day for people to check it + hes getting more watch time on old videos because 75% of people havent seen all episodes
thats mostlikely why he took a 2 day break , then posted 2 MMA shows, then started daily podcasts again. he probably did 2 shows a day to scale up inventory, then he will be able to take more breaks & keep us happy with daily new videos
either im smart asf or wrong, crazy guess
Supermoney97 it’s to avoid some podcast getting blocked by RUclips
Anyone negatively fixated on Eddie's choice of gender is missing out on a very interesting person.
I'm just a bit mystified. Transgender Transexual. Same thing?
@@freedommatters3176 I don't know what is what these days. I'm fine either way, but the terminology escapes me.
@@rochat I know just what you mean. I think it's something that experts still disagree over. It's clear that some people are in a body of a gender different than their brain thinks is right. The wrong body if you like. But things like gender fluidity I think experts disagree over. I don't know if anyone really understands what's going on
@@freedommatters3176 transexual is a man or woman who still enjoys the opposite sex while also dressing as the opposite gender. in his stand up special dressed to kill, he explains it. but I did hear him refer to himself as transgender In this interview. so I assume he has decided to actually complete the gender swap.
@@arianajessie420 hmm. A transvestite is someone that dresses as the other gender. I thought transexual is someone that's in the wrong body. If they are in the wrong body and attracted to their original and incorrect gender then they would be homosexual following the logic they are in the wrong body..the confusing thing is when people say they are both genders gender fluid or neither gender. I'm not sure psychology and science understands yet.
Fantastic person. A wonderful blend of creativity, comedy, integrity, intelligence, respect and kindness...Izzard showing the way. Great chat!
Nicholas Elliott gross man who wants to invade women’s toilets.
Hi April thanks for the comment April. But I feel the point has been lost on you. He wasn’t talking about invading women’s toilets at all. I wish you god speed through life... you seem to need it more than most.
Nicholas Elliott why because I object to a man giving away women’s rights? Sex separated spaces are in the equality act. Unisex spaces have higher rates of sexual assaults on women. They’re not his spaces. They’re ours, and we don’t want to share them with men. It’s not intelligent to ignore the needs of girls and women, it’s misogyny.
Nicholas Elliott oh and FYI, he’s publicly talked about changing in women’s toilets years ago with a group of young girls in there who chased him out. So actually yes, he invaded women’s spaces and probably has many times.
April hi April thanks for your response. Firstly I didn’t know about his openly changing in women’s toilets. I would definitely agree that’s a HELL NO! but I don’t know at this juncture if that’s true or not! (Pardon my ignorance) secondly it was on this issue I disagreed with his vue I don’t think toilets should be admeenable to all. .. especially in bars and night clubs... I do believe that would cause a massive issue... people have been getting drunk, doing Drugs /having sex in bars/nightclub s since they came to fruition... but having a unisex toilet In that environment is asking for trouble on all sides of the equation. So I agree with you not because (as you say I’m defending or are offended( but because you raise a good and important point which I happen to agree with. But Eddie is openly saying he doesn’t have the answers and he has my respect throughout this whole conversation because of his wit and genuine courtesy in the environment he is in and still manages to be unique yet open to being wrong as well as right!

@@TerryTerius ''they just have a problem with who they are'' is always the go to excuse isn't it
Because people are garbage
Intolerant assholes probably.
joe, thank you for this! eddie izzard was my gateway to stand up with his dress to kill show. having him here made my heart melt
‘Cake or Death’ Eddie Izzard. Hilarious in any language you hear him in. One of the Best. Good interview.
Hello there, Church of England, tea and cake or death?
Eddie Izzard is a Class Act. I really enjoyed this.
He really is
@Mick Taylor woah bud, getting a little angry there. Having some curious thoughts? Projecting some inner self loathing? Jeez dude, why do you give a fuck what another person does with their life, it what concrete way has he negatively affected your life? Live and let live. Must be tough living with such anger. Pity
Mick Taylor ... Eddie Izard is bloody sexy as fuck! You sir are a twat.
Mick Taylor
You on the other hand are a hateful pathetic little creature. Live and let live.
This reminds me of the time I ran 2 marathons in 365 days.
Johnny Mnemonic 1 marathon in 36500 days is still impressive
I've never heard of Eddie but I'm now a fan of him.
The no live continues! “3,2,1 and we’re live”....no we’re not Joe!
shut up
@@audiosex he can't shut up because he typed that out
Who gives a fuck if it's live or not?
It was live at some point
Why the fuck do you care if it's live or not, it's not important you're just being a bunch of kids.
was my favorite comedian growing up was legit the funniest dude alive with chapelle between 2000-2004
*Funniest chick
Chick with a dick*😂
@@JesusHComedy OH DAMN JESUS HERRERA COMEDY THAT WAS HILARIOUS AND SO ORIGINAL WHEN IS YOUR NETFLIX SPECIAL
@Suffer No Fools you've clearly never watched Chappelle's stand up, only a few comedians can do what he does today.
@Suffer No Fools if that's all you got out of chapelle you're a hypocritical fool.
Love Eddie Izzard, one of the all time funniest comedians.
My favourite man in a dress
I was introduced to Eddie Izzard years ago. This person is a role model for anyone regardless of pronouns.
How can people profess to be fans of standup and not at least know who Eddie Izzard is?
Because comedy had a huge boom about 4 years ago and the scene grew at a rapid pace with people finding the burrs, rogans, Jeffries and whatnot. Bet most comedy fans now haven’t seen a Carlin routine because of many new fans there is. Never cared for eddies standup but he’s a good lad
Are you gatekeeping stand-up?
Yeah I had a buddy that said he was a huge standup fan and didn’t know who Mitch Hedberg was and I was disappointed
And everyone doesnt speak english, believe it or not but there is stand up in other languages and cultures too. I doupt he's a hit in saudi arabia for example
Do you have any idea how many comedians exist... Hell I didn't even know Joe Rogan did stand up till a few years ago, yet I've been consuming stand up for decades
Joe "the first person I've met who knows about about this" Rogan
Great interview! Izzard is a truly inspiring individual

Eddie Izzard looks like a blonde Tony Curtis to me
was about to say "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" but realised I was thinking of 'Some Like It Hot'. Haha
Ha ha so true it's the eyes
Omg he totally is! That’s fantastic.
Some like it hot
Yep!
