A writer, an actor, a humourer, a humanist, intellectual, historian, a constant story teller, a formal criminal and a polymath: Stephen Fry.
Love of language; sometimes Stephen Fry turns a phrase that gives this old man chills.
Stephen comes across as a truly authentic person - someone who knows himself well, and is at peace with his place in the world.
Yes, it's a pleasure, to be able to listen to Stephen Fry.
Stephen Fry interviews always leave me feeling intellectually invigorated. What a pleasure it was.
Just found this video, and it´s a blast

To adore Stephen Fry is a true privilege and to be able to have a conversation with him is something everyone should place on their bucket list!
Putting emotions into words, without betraying (or belittling) the emotion, is something very few people manage to do. Stephen Fry is one of the very few. Thank goodness for this man of thought, of inquisitive mind, his depth of feeling, the precision of his communication and the intellectual curiosity that has lead him to becoming a luminary. Again, one of the very few.
That is 2 hours of my life VERY well spent.
Yes!
ANY time spent with Stephen Fry is time well spent. And adding Lawrence Krauss? Well, that's just frosting on the cake, innit?
Every time I listen to Stephen Fry I learn several new words. This man and late Christopher Hitchens had a mammouth vocabulary.
Aybars - I completely agree with you; they are truly geniuses. 👍🏼🤗🕉
@hognoxious Thanks for the correction. My dyslexia sometimes gets the better of me :)
@@ayb100 Tbh, I like the idea of a mammouth vocabulary. It seems fitting to mash the words mammoth and mouth when talking about words :D
Concatenation! Check
As did former South African president, Jacob Zuma.
A bit of Fry and Lawrence!
Very clever. Nicely done!
I was about to comment the same and then saw this ! Damn it !!
i don't get it
John Tavers he and Hugh Laurie (years before “House”) used to have a skit show called “A Bit of Fry and Laurie.”
Heheh!
Nice! 🤣
I only knew of Mr. Fry as an actor. What a delight to find out how brilliant he is! Most interesting conversation I have heard. I learned so much. And much food for thought. Thank you gentlemen.
Kathy from Oregon
Please watch QI. There Stephen was the chairman for many years. It's hilarious and you quickly find out how sharp, quick witted and intelligent the man with the bent nose is.
I am just happy that I lived at the same time as these two wonderful and inspirational men.
lol lifes like a box of chocolates. Lawrence Krauss is the last one left in the box every time. Stephen you have to be the mood for. Comedy he'd be one of the first. Anti-semitism throw him straight in the bin, doesn't know what he is talking about. Oscar Wilde defo first. Lawrence Krauss is possibly the most pointless human being on the planet. As we say up north "He knows frack all about frack all!"
Fry is that rare combination of actor and intellectual and that's largely why he is so fascinating -never a dull moment!
I always feel as if I know Stephen personally.
He just has something special about him.
Lawrence has a very similar effect on me as well.
What's that all about.
"Don't Take Away the Demons in My Head
My Angels Will Fly Away Too"
Brilliant
I was so lucky to jump from Oscar Wilde to Stephen Fry after having discovered him when he played Jeeves. But now I am again smitten by this interviewer, Lawrence Krauss! Thank you for a great podcast fascinating because your questions are so great and your engagement with Fry is compelling. I hope you do more of these. This keeps a isolated girl in Greensboro Vermont in front of a woodstove in the woods very happy!
thanks very much!
Lawrence Krauss, dial it back a bit, dude! You take up more space than your guests. I see who is on, and am eager to hear them. But then there is way too much time before they can get word in... edgewise.
Dude ? Really? 🕳 ... sutch class mary.@@marydye3650
Mr fry has the uncanny ability to make one crave academia and knowledge of more and more beautiful words
I wish Stephen Fry was a teacher and I was his student.
Very appreciative that I'm able to listen to this great orator, word smith and conversationalist.
As the the interview progressed and Steven relaxed, they got more and more surprised with how "on the same page" they were with each other. Beautiful. Thank you Lawrence.
In this interview, Fry quotes:
Aristotle, Tom Moore, DK Chesterton, The Bible (in Greek), Noel Coward, R Feynman, Browning, Frost, W Wordsworth, Keats, D Thomas, Cezanne, TS Elliot, G Flaubert, WH Auden,
Krauss quotes:
Fry x 8, The X-Files
Fry also quoted Dirty Harry. Oh, and Krausse quoted, via Christopher Hitchens, the Elizabethan poet Fulke Greville: "created sick and commanded to be sound".
I learn more by listening to Stephen Fry for 2 hours than I did in a whole year at school
Leave that school ASAP 😂
he's incredibly succinct and poetic. almost like Nietzsche.
Hail RUclips!
Ah Andrew, that is a tragic comment on education as it is practiced in schools and the illuminating wonder of a curious heart and mind.
@@johnmilliken982 I can only speak for the school I went to - a long time ago!
One of the greatest living public intellectuals.
Which one, Fly?
@@eppiehemsley6556 No, Rawrence.
I laughed way to long about this thread. Lol
@@eppiehemsley6556³
These a great, such a shame though. I am certain Hitchens would have been near the top of his list for one of these had he still been with us.
Stephen is truly a genius. He's so well rounded. Lawrence clearly has deep respect for that and this was a thoroughly enjoyable discussion.
“Work is the currency of the universe”
That’s gotta be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.
Our 22 year old son is now teaching philosophy at our local university. We brought him up on Jeeves and Wooster, Monty Python. - all I learned from my parents as a kid in California in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Thanks, Stephen. Thanks, Lawrence.
What a lovely little vignette of how good quality culture has had a positive impact on an individual's life. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
How can a 22 year old possibly be teaching philosophy? His students are getting screwed! This young man is just repeating what he just learned last semester. No life experience, no love lost just popping pimmiples and a legal year of drinking.
@@user-fc6lt7cc7p Didn’t get into Cambridge then.
@@user-fc6lt7cc7p Calm down lol
Two wonderfully clever men. Totally satisfying to listen to. Only wish it was 4 hours.
I could listen to this man all day
Such an intellectual and knowledgeable man.
I will be honest, it took me a couple of of days while i work from home to fi ish listening to the whole interview, i took notes of some very important things as i believe this interview was more effective than 3 years of counseling..Gotta love it
Same here, it actuay took me three days to watch it with work and home commitments 'getting in the way' however I found myself so looking forward to my next installment 👏

One of the best podcast I've ever heard deep on so many levels packaged in simplicity. A truly amazing person we all richer for having him in our lifetime.
Read aloud, not "out loud."
Indeed, but he's still one of those gays.
He is a hypocrite.
Arent we all? 🤦🏻♂@@judithcressey1682
What a sumptuous feast Lawrence Krauss generously served up on his podcast . Stephen Fry is a monster of a mind , wrapped up in such adorable decorum , sensitivity and unwavering self deprecation .
How great my delight to begin my day with so thought-provoking and wide-ranging a conversation as this! How perfectly Stephen of him to have capped it off with a delightfully pithy "Gosh, that was fun!!"
I wish I were able to like this so many more times absolutely astounding.
I wish I had Stephen Fry's vocabulary, knowledge, and was so interesting as him. Such an intellect and is so nice enough to think everyone else is too. I absolutely love him and could listen to him all day.
I wish I had his money
While Stephen did benefit from the luck of his birth, a lot of it is just hard work. If you really want it, I think you can achieve it.
Katie Kat
He’s a fraud ... and he knows it.
@@pippipster6767 Care you articulate what about him is fraudulent a bit more. I think you might be on to something, but I also think you might be a troll.

Well, on the intelligence front it seems very superficial. Of course he knew all the answers on QI he had them written on the card! And part of the veneer of this apparent supreme intelligence is the way he speaks, which is very confident and extremely posh. Seems to me to be cultivated.
And I’m not convinced by his avuncular presentation either.
As I say, all seems rather false to me.
I bet deep down he just can’t believe people have bought all this.
Can not get enough of listening to Stephen Fry...erudite, eloquent and endearingly bashful inspite of his vast intellectual prowess.
Glad to be called Stephen
I listen to these with my kids. I think they learn more about life, thinking and opening their minds, perspectives and awareness than anything they learn at school. Even when we disagree or see things differently the discussion continues and knowledge grows. Superb.
Stephen Fry you truly are a national treasure. I never tire of listening to your you tube videos.
*International
Fry is a sycophantic brown noser. A posh voice does not mean the speaker is an intellectual.
Grew up with Stephen Fry (metaphorically speaking). If you haven't caught the old UK tv show 'A bit of Fry & Laurie', do yourself a favour...
I'm 22 minutes in... and am already becoming a huge fan of Stephen. Just the way he thinks alone is stunning. Thank you Lawrence for this interview
Ok. I just commented on a snippet that I wished it was 9 hours not 9 minutes. But here Stephen is in 2 hours of conversation with an intelligent host. Thank you.
This interview never gets old, will remain relevant time immemorial I suppose !! Stephen Fry is mind boggling !! We need more human beings like these to make our world a better place.
For me, Fry always inspires me to be a better human being, He's humanities thesaurus, Really great interview.
It's not hard to be a better human being than Stephen Fry.
@@geoffpoole483 I love how bitter you are. Good to see you stewing in your own juice.
He's a wonderful man and I'm so glad he hasn't checked out. We need him ~ the world is a better place with him in it. ❤
Finally! The full video.
As far as the current college madness goes, I think the problem lies with the small group of crazies on campus who bully the rest of the students, & even the faculty to go along with it. ~ I too feel your pain Stephen as have been beset with similar problems of depression & suicide all of my 69 yrs too. ~ As for the podcast it has been a royal treat to listen from start to finish! Take care Lawrence & Stephen! 😊
Now that was a couple of well spent hours. Thank you!
For those who may be new to this Origins Podcast, it's not meant to be an interview, it's a conversation.
What an absolute delight! Stephen Fry’s eloquence and depth of knowledge are an utter joy! Thank you!
"The arts are the daughters of memory."
How beautiful is that.
Two hours of Fry...bliss.
Listening to Stephen Fry is always a delight for the mind and the soul.
Thank you for this episode.
What a genius Krauss is! He as got to be the world’s finest theoretical Astro physicist, and also an incredible intellect, to say the least! Two great minds here👌👌
you have an engaging interview style Mr Krauss , and the most engaging of guests too , keep em coming .. peace from Ireland
What a beautiful interview with a beautiful human being! Thank you for sharing.
Who doesn’t love Stephen Fry? British national treasure. His interviews and discussions are never boring. He really has a talent for keeping the viewer engaged in the conversation.
I remember the day very clearly when I read in the British Tabloids what Stephen Fry said about he not being funny; I'd never laughed at his jokes before that, but being a a philanthropist, I was determined, from that day, that I would be the one laughing the loudest and the longest at his every witty quip!
I never thought I would get the privilege to hear two intellectual superpowers like Lawrence Krauss and Stephen Fry have a conversation together in long form, Even less likely to hear Stephen Fry reference Clint Eastwood. For this, I am the luckiest man in the world.
I was so happy to discover two of my favourite people and most interesting intellectuals of our time having the chance to sit down for two hours and just talk. I am sure I will revisit this podcast for years to come. Thanks Origins 😊
The word "polymath" fits Stephen Fry perfectly, he uses the English language with panache, exactitude and
precision. To listen to or read him, is to be elevated if only temporarily, to a hitherto unknown level for me.
Mr. Fry is not perfect, like how he said "what a diverse group of friends I had when I was small" when he really should've said "when I was young".
@@OriginalPuroIn the human species, small, almost always equates to young! So I think you're being unreasonably petty there.
Oh, fantastic!
Two of my favorite intellectuals, one Brit, one American, Science meets the Arts!
{:-:-:}
That was a pleasure listening to the both of you! Thank you 🤓
🤓
A truly moving conversation, and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you both!
Perfect combo to listen to. Thank you! Beautiful, educational and insightful.
Obviously, I now feel like an intellectual Pygmy.
I would argue that science is art. The art of describing the universe.
Right, with the language of mathematics a lot.
I like to think that they are both the same thing not one is a part of the other but different ways of doing the same thing
@@joecook5689 Mathematics is an art too, or least I can attest that research in mathematics feels that way. Finding just the right stroke to complete an argument brings me enormous joy!
I totally agree with the logic & like the sentiment of that too, but art is an unmeasurable abstract so it's more the reality vs the imagination. Although both Art & Science MUST co-exist for either to be considered necessary.
Urania is the Greek Muse of astronomy, so I agree that science is a form of art. Mathematics is an artform too, I'll take a Mandelbrot set zoom or a dragon curve animation over the Tate Modern any day
This was bloody brilliant.
As someone who was v lucky with Classics masterrs, at prep and public school yet without talent at Latin and Greek, what I can attest is that along with teaching children art and music appreciation, learning dead languages builds out one’s internal life.
Some fantastic questions, wonderfully answered, Thank you Origins Podcast.
Krauss has changed and matured his image. He used to seem to be abrasive, but now seems aged and more worldly.
Hes also very connected to Jeffery Epstein tho so kinda yikes
There's a good reason for that considering his recent sexual assualt charges.
@@Carrugar Recent? Charges?
@@Steelmage99 Well not that recent. Perhaps 12-24 months ago. He had to leave Origins project and his university position. All gone quite now though.
@@Carrugar So not "recent".
What about "Charges"? That does imply law enforcement, official investigations and perhaps even court appearances.
Has there been any of that?
Stephen Fry has the most astounding and incredible memory. I struggle with frustration that I'm often unable to recall what I've learned and read, he's amazing.
PS. also love listening to Lawrence talking about star stuff.
lefty intellectual doesn't necessarily mean clever at all-150 plus iq academics will argue biological equality till it comes out of their assholes bcos it suits their purposes to do so,yes they'll die rich and I'll die poor,but 2 plus 2 will always make 4 regardless
@@stevemakinson2222 ... Poetic logic AND reasoning. But, don't give up your day job.
What a great inspiring, compassionate and grounding conversation. A true breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Stephen is the very definition of erudite....
I love listening to Fry so much. What I love the most about him is that he not pretentious and makes you understand fall in love with his knowledge. Thank you Mr Krauss!
Proof that I could easily listen to Stephen Fry talk for hours.
Oh man I was on a QI binge since the last few hours and now this pops up.
Thank you . Made my work day slightly more bearable.
4eeereeer
Hard to find a more worthwhile few hours of life than watching this (2 hours of watching + an hour of thinking & note-taking). Happily, there are many such gems to be found online nowadays - as relatively few and far-between as they may be - and this is one of them.
Gosh that was fun! Thank you.
Stephen Fry somehow makes me ashamed for not being British! I love and revere this man dearly!!!
I needed to do something when I opened this vid , 2 hours later I forgot what I was going to do .
Nicely put!
Lawrence's conversation with Stephen is a brilliant multi-faceted exploration of human consciousness. What a magnificent trip!
It`s always such a privilege to hear Stephen Fry, thank you so very much Lawrence! Best to you and yours!
I am so happy to see Lawrence again with these podcasts. I missed you the last couple of years.
Thank you for this. Just thank you. Made life worth living listening to this.
Imagine if Lawence and Stephen had a baby: It truly would be the Kwisatz Haderach.
I think you're missing the point of Dune.
@@YawnGod And the point of Dune is?
Ooh, RUclips comments fight. Let the spice flow!
@@earlofdoncaster5018 Ultimately the point of Dune is for humanity to enlighten itself beyond the need to have messianic figures to dictate to us what we already know and can act on. The first book is only there to underscore the beginning of such follies which is lost on a lot of readers - who view this element of the Heroes Journey as intended - without considering the repercussions of such events which follow in the next novel. In this case - 'Yes you have your Messianic figure - and he proceeds to commit genocide on levels unseen in twenty-thousand years of "human history".
The succeeding books are of his son Leto setting the stage of "deconditioning" humanity of such notions by literally taking over reality by becoming the ultimate tyrant for the sole purpose to inoculate "humanity" from ever succumbing to such depredations ever.
@@tenbones1274 That's a nice summary of the Dune books. I still don't know where the Honoured Matres fit into it all. That being said, my little bon mot didn't need refuting that hard.
I love this man because of the person he is and am sadden to know that we and he are only temporary in this existence and he nor no one like him will exist again. Edit: I just realized that, for Stephen, it is more than knowing what to say but he is also very good at knowing how to say it. It is the combination that makes him so mesmerizing to listen to and more to the point, to watch as he speaks.
A brilliant interview, thanks so much!
Gosh, that was fun!
Excellent podcast, enjoyable and enlightening.
What a wonderful conversation; thank you!
Human beings like fry impact humanity immensely. We must cherish them whilst we still have them amongst us
Thank you Lawrence and the Origins team. Profoundly honest and transparent. The best podcast I have listened to! Love Origins.
Yes Stephen, it was fun.
I love how Lawrence is almost giddy when talking to Stephen😊
Absolutely wonderful, thank you both ☺️
An important human in our landscape of humanity in any way he shares & ultimately leads us. Thank you for your efforts!
Great interview. Well done Laurence, a great conversation between two great minds.
What a fantastic conversation... I didn't fall in love with Lawrence until I saw this, although I appreciated him... Something about the combination of these two gentleman led to a spectacular couple of hours.
I thought I knew all this but I'm surprised to find that, listening to these discussion now, enlightens me anew about myself, my life and how my character has been formed by my childhood environment and those I grew up alongside. I'm old and I know a little Freudian theory of how character is formed but, for some reason, that knowledge is suddenly illuminated in a different way and I can clearly see events and even incidents and people that have shaped my perspective and attitudes over the decades. I think I've been looking in the wrong direction all my life. Pity I didn't watch this 70 years ago! However, if I had, I probably wouldn't be sitting here now watching it.
I loved this, thank you!
Thank you so much to inlight me with your brilliant podcasts! Love them.❤
Amazing conversation
