This has just been such a relief to see some mainstream celebrities are critical thinkers and not sheep to the right or left.
You don't need to be right or left to see through the BS academic rethoric or JP. Coating hate under "but actually if you think about how Plato described X, Y and Z" bla bla bla a loooooot of actual scientists and researchers i know find him to be just another "pute à click" (a french word to say he'd do anything for attention on the internet). None of his "self help" is actually based on philosophy or psychology (from what i know in my field of research). Also, critical thinking isn't a term you can use for people who just agree with you. What i just did right there is critical thinking. These celebrities (such as JP) who call themselves "critical thinkers" should always be taken with a grain of salt. Especially when it's just to have no legitimate argument (he has a good rhetoric but no argument, especially when it comes to ethics) and say things that could harm a lot the "free speech" he's defending.
@@kwave5426 still right about jp
Like, theres just so many examples of JP being a bad man..like, heaps..
I previously thought Matthew was corny and a self serving celebrity but this experience of watching him speak so freely and honestly has definitely taught me not to prejudge anymore.
@@kwave5426 I might be boring but at least I don't try to coat my boringness into hate speech. And I actually use arguments that are based on moral principles that I've studied. If you want to have an actual academic argument about ethics then start by talking dignity and autonomy that are actual notions of ethics. Then maybe we can talk. Until then do you research and stop listening to Daddy Peterson for once and think for yourself. Or read Kant I don't know. Do whatever you want. But his philosophy is wrong on so many levels and everyone in the academic world knows it. And no he's not a black sheep or whatever expression is used here. He's not "speaking the truth that everyone is too afraid to talk about". 12 rules to know how to wipe yo ass isn't philosophy or psychology.
15:24 for J Peterson.
Thanks.

Absolutely love Matthew McConaughey. His evolution as an actor from basic Rom Com Heart Throb to a best actor Oscar winner is truly phenomenal. He is so genuine, down to earth, funny, endearing and charismatic. I really like Russell Howard and think he is very funny but also raises socially important issues true to himself, takes no prisoners but above all a genuine nice guy. But to see McConaughey having no ego, appreciative of Russell’s compliments and equally replies in kind but then sit down like too mates and have such an entertaining, informative and enlightening interview is very rare. Kudos to both.
He's always a smug Texan ass of Irish gigolo strain.
Sitting here at the end of February 2022, I cannot imagine a more warming and enjoyable 33 minutes of distraction. Thanks to both of you for this little window joy. Excellent interview Russell, you have a gift .
Check out his interview with Jordan Pietersen. I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
Say what you want about McConaughey, but you have to admit he is 100% authentic. Refreshing to have someone like him in the cesspool that is Hollywood.
True. Have to say I know fuckall about him and had a little bias thinking he was a brainless actor type, but recently he seems to be a lot more genuine and I keep seeing him on various podcasts and shows. Obviously that’s engineered to get his name out there again by some PR company or another, but he seems like a really genuine guy. Almost like he’s started experimenting with hallucinogenics or something recently
@@blazeit8995 Seems to me he has been like this for a long time already. And yes, he has a book to promote, but it is allegedly brilliant. I'm definitely going to read it.
@@epictetus9221 His book is fantastic. I'd highly recommend the Audible version of it. His voice narrating it definitely adds a lot to the story.
The thing about him is his intelligence and as he talked about, his ability for self reflection. Which I think went perfectly for his character of (Rust) Cohle, which is a character I loved from the get go. .
@@felinekaiju4517 Second that 👌🏻
Someone stole a yellow nightgown from my granny's washing line. Any information about it is appreciated.
Hahaha
😂
My question too!
Hippie shirts like that were super popular in the 60's and 70's and through the mid 80's. Everyone I knew had at least 1.
🤣😂🤣 it IS distracting.
This is so insightful and also it allows me to rethink the “dust yourself off and move on” mentality. I was raised that way. It allows for introspection on my side.
Great interview Russel.
30 mins of top quality chat. Good questions, honest answers and a good slice of respectfulness. May all receive the legendary status they deserve.
Matthew McConaughey & Jordan Peterson now that's a Podcast I would love to see.
He was on Jordan's daughter's - Mikala
@@ADOX2525 not the same.
Would love to see the dr on Joe rogen again.
@@rifrafbarker Not even remotely the same lol
Not before JP goes on JRE! Come on 2020, redeem yourself!
These 33 minutes of deep, clever, funny, intelligent conversation are the best thing that's happened to me this week.
True. That was briilliant.
You need to get a life :D
I agree but Matthews shirt is ruining the moment for me. Im compelled, always have been, to give people wearing this kind of clobber a very wide berth - they'v usually got some sort of cosmic advise to spew over you. Might give his book a go however.
Rapha S . Raise your standards.
Maybe the old chappell... the new 2.0 Chappelle endorses the violence and looting which the rioters are still doing.. Matt is the complete opposite of chappelle as he thinks people should take personal responsibilities for their actions.
"You got to have confrontation to have unity" - MM around 17:40. Absolutely. Cowards beat around the bush, do double speak, practise passive aggressive attacks, the tactics are lacking in honor. One can confront, tackle different dissenting ideas instead of shying away, address the issues head on instead of cancelling. There is an honesty in confronting things that we do not agree on
I agree generally, but you can't always trust people to argue fairly and honestly and not to use aggressively underhand tactics like straw man and ad hominem etc. What's the point in arguing with someone who you know will never really debate in good faith and try only to attack you personally?
Now if only you could only get the Paul Ryan type of elected officials to understand this!
I came here whilst perusing thru RUclips for Russell's comedy and views,sitting in my summer house on a miserable Monday afternoon in September,and found myself rooted to the spot by such a crystal clear and honest interview between two men who have earned ever more respect from me. Usually,my attention span on RUclips gives out after a few minutes,but Matt & Russell,especially Matts groundedness as an ordinary person and not just a celebrity,kept me engrossed all the way thru. Bravo,fellas.
Matthew is going to use “piss in your pocket” every day for the rest of his life.
100% thought that immediately haha beautiful.
a texan ain't ever gonna pass on a gem like that
Italians use “shit in your boots”
Alright alright alright!
This format needs to become a regular thing, just a relaxed sit down and banter with someone.
This was a lot more than just banter, I think.
Yeah, it definitely helps when the person has something to say and is interesting to listen to.
@@mariatony40 Aye, its more than simple banter but the very relaxed style of interview shows the person in a much more interesting way than the 5 minute recycling of questions to promote something you get on a lot of chat shows.
Wait till you hear about Joe Rogan!!!
@@tallndorky What are we waiting to hear?
Actually one of the most incredible "interviews " I've seen. The world (U.S.) is so crazy right now, it's scary. I'm a 55 year old white guy from Canada (widowed father with 3 teenage kids)and I so much appreciate that there are some voices of reason that could possibly unite people in the middle. There's no right or wrong when it comes to doing the right thing
I hear you man. Same🇨🇦❤️🙏🏽
Well writen Sir
An interview where Russell didn't absolutely collapse into the BBC mentality!
Because he has been on sky like 4 years now......
Right??!! I was so glad hes had a change of heart
@@matthoward7645 which is also far farrr left wing
Matthew McConaughey’s reason for why (dark/offensive) comedy should exist is absolutely intellectually brilliant!!!! - 23:35
Yeah 👍
Was he promoting dark or offensive comedy or just honest comedy? Just coz things are confrontational doesn’t mean they are offensive.
@@mzaalam I agree with you completely I just personally wanted to point that McConaughey’s reasoning about comedy being a healthy way to deal with stuff is why comedy that ( pc people) find offensive should exist as most of the time it’s not offensive it’s confrontational (like u said)
Im glad he is not a sellout Hollywood actor, pushing the illuminati agenda just makes him so much more authentic.

This is amazing - thank you Matt & Russell for having the balls to do this and speak out against the hypocrisies and double standards of the modern world.
They exist because people dont think further :D like kids with no concept of consequence. Now itelligent people they say okay... If this then what? And a simple question like that kinda strips away all the bullshit from the situation.
This was the best interview of Matthew that I've seen. Thank you for the smiles and laughs! I'm patiently waiting for the travel show. That would be brilliant!
I absolutely love Russell's ability to communicate and allow the interviewee to speak his mind perfectly
After my mom passed we gave a lot of her clothes to charities, it seems like not all of them made it to the charities.
LowlyGrinder Hehe...can’t unsee it now
Best comment I've ever seen
lol :) i scrolled down to the comments just to see what people were saying about the shirt
I wouldn't assume that. He probably shops there.
@@chriscolabella880
logically true.
“Why did you bring ecstasy to the jungle?”
Right, I’m buying this F*#@£+% book.
I'm convinced there is a demand for his comedy.
Well done gentlemen! You had me captivated the entire time. I'm really glad to know about Mathew's journey through life. We're close to the same age. Even at 55, I still need to relate to other men who affirm something positive and sensible for me.
I lost my father at 19, and to this day it surprises me how much I look for guidance.
I've seen a few Matthew McConaughey interviews over the past few days, and that Russell, was the best. He was so relaxed and sincerely looked like he enjoyed it.
Exactly what I planned to say but scrolled down to see if someone else had said it :-) We probably saw the same interviews. This one was way better.
@@veemacks7255 It was so good, it wasn't an interview or yet another 'stop' on his book tour. It actually made me want to buy the book, as I want to read it now.
Agreed! More of a conversation than a sales pitch...I'm currently listening to the audiobook, read by Matthew himself and it's amazing! Great to hear him tell his story (bumperstickers and all)
Agreed, have seen a couple of his interview on this already. Halfway through I logged onto Audible and used one of my credits.
Russ you NEED to do a podcast! Your worldly insight brings out the best in people and your humour brings out the funniest!!
I 2nd that!
Yeah' me too👍
Yup would love that
Totally agree!
I only watch 1 podcast and usually I only watch the clips of it, but I would happily sit down for a few hours and listen to russel and a guest talk. I just love the conversations he has with people. A mix between comical, serious and political.
Really strange how a mostly left-wing guy is actually sticking up for JP. Breath of fresh air from main stream presenters.
Half of JPs stuff is actually helpful life advice
I think jordan Peterson is appealing to both left and right wing people. He is logical, patient and has good ideas and puts them forward well. I think he's only really disliked by the further left/Twitter mob who don't actually listen to what he's saying and get their impression from just reading the buzzwords the media pins on him (sexist, transphobic, far right etc). I've encountered Peterson fans from all sides of the political spectrum. It's good that everyone (except the media and vocal minority) have the figure that they all respect and value that can find reason and compromise in a mostly toxic environment.
@Jennifer Zbarouskaya Jordan’s message is inherently positive. It doesn’t matter who it appeals to. It’ll produce better outcomes.
@Jennifer Zbarouskaya If terrible people start acting in positive ways because of the philosophy they adopt after watching, reading, or listening to Peterson, then that will improve them and the world.
Jordan Peterson isn't necessarily a "right winger"
He's a classic liberal.
Refreshing to hear a sensible person out of Hollywood for once.
Alright etc etc “I’m not pissin’ in yer pocket” is newly in my vernacular. What a great expression.
Yeah, me too. Along with "Chuck it in the fuck-it bucket." Meaning you can't change something, so forget about it. 😉 ( I picked that up from some friends from Tennessee)
Here's another one we use in England. "Don't piss in my ear and tell me that its raining". Although I've heard it used in North America lately.
haha yeah, will be using it in conversation as well as soon as I can get it in there.
You can't add things to your vernacular but you can add things to your lexicon.
@@johnwalshaw7362 thank you professor
Matthew is a prime example that how you were raised as a child directly relates to how you will become as an adult.
Really loved seeing this side of him, he’s a very intelligent and likeable chap.
I'm gaining a lot of respect for Matthew McConaughey.
Forreal I thought he was an airhead. Quite the opposite!
Agreed, but what the shit is he wearing?

Damn Russel, you're always changing my opinion on people I have no opinion on. I like the way you focus your guest's values rather than their exploits.
I hate Mathew but love Russel and watched this because it was good because of Russell's skills. - #pissinginyourpocket #societyorgasims
@@terrielynneallan5204 May I ask why you hate Matthew?
Surely if you have no opinion to be changed, then he's not really changing your opinion at all? If anything, you're constructing your own opinion based on what you've seen, no? Which is credit to Russell and the interviewee, but to credit him for changing an opinion you never had seems a little bit odd don't you think? 😄
@@Terrezio I may not have worded it ideally. I apologise if I have offended you.
@@felixlavigne01 No offence taken pal, I was simply joking about what you said that's all haha
McConaughey is authentic. Speaks his mind. Makes a lot of sense.
No one from Hollywood can be authentic, or they would have been blacklisted, McConaughey is allowing some truth out, but he is already married to the system, which is evil & corrupt.

Absolutely great. You have a gift for really letting your guests personalities shine through and making them comfortable. It really is a lost art. Fantastic. And Matthew was absolutely great. The exact type of guy if not the guy that can bring people back together.
"the middle are yellow lines and dead armadillos" has to be the most Texas thing a man can say XD
That was without a doubt one of the most honest and well done interviews I have ever watched. Just beautiful. Matthew and Russel really had an amazing tempo.
I did not know Russell and Matthew were familiar enough to talk this way. This was well worth it.
They seemed to grow on each other as the time went by. Wonderful that we caught it on tape. Haven't seen Russell interview someone so long usually. This was amazing.
Is it not just that Russel brings out the best in people he meets .He also asks really interesting questions.
Russell talks that way to everyone. I'm sure Matthew enjoyed speaking to a real human being instead of the glossy Americans who don't actually listen to what he's saying or understand it.
So many quotable moments here. I want a t-shirt with "when everybody's lost in laughter, it's like a societal orgasm."
"You have to have confrontation to have unity" - Love this quote a lot, I wrote it down
He should definitely do a video show, this interview is calm.
These are the sort of interviews actors and celebraties want to have intellectual and thought provocing conversations instead of what's ur favourite food
I’d disagree to be fair. 99% of celebrities are either too dumb or too concerned about their image to have this conversation. This is a rare gem
The ones who are true artists will love it. A lot prefer to just play the PR game!
Seriously? You think this is intellectual? This is so shallow and trite. Definitely not thought provoking (note spelling) ... what is this deep idea here?
You asked them all did you?
@@DocnoXXX If you cant see that for yourself then you are a bit dim, or just pissed of at, well whatever you may be angry at. I truly hope you have a good day further though. One more thing, sometimes people need a layman's perspective and insight to what is going on around them to actually connect and think for themselves. Its not a bad thing.
Russell is a great interviewer. He should be doing this more on prime time tv
Such a respectful interview. You can tell that Russell admires him and what a lovely guy Matthew is. A great interview
I haven't had the stomach to turn the TV on for over 2 years. You just reminded me, how much I miss the old days before every tv personalty hated half of their own nation.
lol i dont think theres ever been a time in history where there wasnt polarizing hate
I bet you are fun at parties...
same over here (UK)
@@jacksevert3099 If you think this is the way it's always been, you must be very young.
@@epictetus9221 if you dont think that then you're probably a child and thinks social media is the whole world
Russell and Matthew should do this on regular basis. Out of this world interview.
i've just discovered Russell Howard's interviews, and i am amazed. dude is a fantastic interviewer. i knew his stand-up, and i'd seen bits of his show, but interviews are new to me, and i'm disappointed i didn't know earlier.
"Aggressively Centric" absolutely couldn't agree more with Matthew
You forget that this person is a very intelligent, centred, deep thinking, honest, value affirming human. You often forget that there are a lot of celebrities here in the UK, in the USA that are very very intelligent folks that talk a lot of sense. Unfortunately recently “celebs’ are fake, selfie obsessed folks that just spout nonsense and jump on the current popular bandwagon.... Good interview
He definitely cares a lot about people
He spouted a fair bit of nonsense himself to be honest
@@boomerhgt not really.
yeah true, he's genuine ... interesting and down to earth
Hes the exception to the rule unfortunately.
This is Overwhelming gorgeousness, watching these two humans speak.
Perfectly said!
Loved this open conversation between you guys...just open, objective, very down the earth kind of a way. No biasing, no need to politicize. Wanting to see the truth for what it is, and not for what we want it to be as opposed from the both spectrum of extreme thinkers these days. And god Interviewer, job well done :)
"People don't appreciate context anymore" 16.40: A fantastic explanation about cancel culture and the incessant desire for oversimplification. It's far easier to throw people into a category of 'good' or 'bad' - so to say, "worth listening to" and "not worth listening to" - than to analyse someone and give them intrinsic respect (and also to consider that complexity exists, especially with these matters). Because shared respect shows that you're willing to listen, and in turn you say: "I'm willing to listen to you and risk being offended or wrong in the pursuit of absolute truth".
As, after all, truth should always be the absolute driving factor for problem solving. Not winning the argument or proving someone wrong because that then transforms the issue from one of humanity to one of the self, the ego. To summarise: someone without respect of the ideology of absolute truth is subconsciously or consciously (the former being ignorance, the latter being malevolence) fighting for their interests; no matter how much they paint it as a movement of social justice or altruism.
Why is it that we're seeing an increase in this form of 'SJW', for lack of a better term, mentality? I'm afraid it's something I haven't really delved into too much, but if I had to guess I would attribute it to decreased attention span due to the ineffable acceleration of the information age (the amount of information we take in each day is too much, essentially breaking down the circuitry that controls the input of it on a neurological level ) paired with the fact that it is so damn easy to be part of a movement and to have a voice courtesy of online platforms - the latter is no bad thing, but it goes without saying that we must tread with caution (imagine if someone with the mind of Hitler had access to social media)... So perhaps these are two factors: the first blocks out reasoning and promotes impatience and the second gives one an inflated sense of power, importance and opportunity. It's the age of self-proclamation.
There used to be a time where to have a voice about a matter, especially one with weight, one would have to study along a rigorous path of trial and error, experiments, teachings, experience and ultimately a coming of maturity before they were deemed applicable for having their voice heard; status through proven respectability, so to speak. For better or for worse, we now live in an age where this means less and less, and subsequently a movement based primarily on pride is driven by people who don't even have a fundamental grasp on the movement they're advocating: it's about them, boredom, an urge to prove, to be right, their insecurities, a matter of feeling worth. How can you blame them? It's no easy task to find these things, when we're hopeless we become desperate, and when we're desperate we do illogical things - and I think this is at the root of the modern issue of a lack of desire for context. For someone to consider context is to consider the wider picture: a priori, for them it was never about that in the first place.
There are very few celebs who i could watch being interviewed time and time again, and Mathew McConaughey is one of them. Comes across as such an intelligent, charismatic and approachable guy.
Russell, this was by far the most wholesome, funny, open, honest and thoroughly interesting interview I have ever watched. The questions you asked, the answers and the honesty from you both was heart warming to be honest. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and was genuinely disappointed when it ended! This was proper TV , proper journalism, and I am convince that you guys should so tour together dude! 10 out of 10. Thank you!
This was absofrickinlutely great!!! Its about time the way the public really feels is aloud on camera these days! Love the validation so i know im not crazy! Thank you!
I could tune into this conversation every night for the rest of myself ❤️. So refreshing to hear real talk 🙏
Brilliant interview, sir. This expanded format is wonderful. Maybe make it a thing.
That was NOT an interview that was a down to earth conversation. Loved it x
Down to Earth I shot in my pants in that dream last night I'm off to Africa for fuck sake
Because of how he’s been type-casted I would have never even considered buying a book by him but he actually sounds extremely interesting.
Buried my beloved Great Uncle Georgie (my Granny's little brother) on Jan 3rd after he sadly passed away while making his morning toast on New Years Day (he didn't burn the house down, he just went for a sit down and never got up again). It was a Bitterly cold Dublin morning, a great ceremony, and we took him off to Glasnevin to say our final goodbyes at the crematorium. The outer doors closed, final prayers were said, and we all said goodbye to Georgie.
After the curtains closed behind his coffin they opened the outer doors again and a blast of cold January air flew in. I said "Brr, I was just getting warmed up then". My auntie Sheila, without missing a beat, sitting on the front bench, turns around to me and goes "So's Georgie". Man, the laughter that broke the spell of sadness, I've never felt so bad at laughing so hard at a funeral hahahaha. RIP Georgie.
This has been my favourite interview to date. Literally of all the ones I've ever seen, on TV, on the internet, in magazines... this tops them all.
"When people are lost in laughter, it's like a societal orgasm" is legitimately one of the greatest sentences I've heard on the topic.
Dunno wow I've only just learned that you exist, but I'm glad I did!!
And that moment, when Matthew gets in the right headspace for saying his line shows a consumate artist.
The way he got himself there sent shivers through my spine. It's like I was watching it the first time.
Hey! He’s wearing my Aunt Irenes blouse she wears at Christmas. Neat.
Happy Holidays Aunt Irene!
🤣
Sexy.
And glasses?!
What is it exactly? Some cultural thing?
Great interview. I love how Mathew says exactly what he is thinking.
I listened to it on Audible and it was incredible listening. It was like listening to him play the screen play of his life.
I took a trip based on a wet dream as well. Unfortunately I can’t write about it. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Terry!!!! You had a fling at the Castle with “The Unabashed”???? All right, ... Johnny Vegas?? Room 101. 😉😉 nudge nudge
@@hotternfyr 😛🤫
Yes, my bruvs. Humor is cathartic. Everybody laughing is feeling relief at the fact they were thinking the same damn thing the joke was about.
Being a native Texan myself, I fully understand where Matthew is coming from. I’ve known many Texas men and women that speak and think very similar to Matthew. Maybe now I have more insight as to why my son-in-law who is from Bournemouth in the UK, loves to listen to my stories and begs for more. He moved to Texas after he and my daughter married in the Beaulieu 3 years ago. He really seems to enjoy what I call a Texan analogy, and perspective.
I agree 100% with Matthew when he said “If you move to Texas bringing with you what you escaped another state for, just keep moving on”. Matthew has something that doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden.....common sense.
Such an honest conversation, I needed that today. The way he grabs his pen - so relatable!
Yes 👏
that's an old trick people use to look and sound more authentic and authoritative.
I really enjoyed Russell's interview approach. Not many interviewers allow the guest to speak without being constantly interrupted.
I love how you interact with Matthew and Jordan peterson, you really hold your own and have so many good points! Really enjoyed this! Thank you!
“I’m not pissing in your pocket.”
New favorite expression. 😂
Didn’t wake up this morning thinking I’d be thanking Matthew McConaughey for helping me realize that I am in fact ‘aggressively centric’.
And I didn't wake up this morning thinking that one of my favourite producers would be commenting on the content I love so much
As a young guy who is right wing in N Ireland who has been told they are a racist an a transphobe for just being a Conservative (the idea not the party) this really spoke to me
everything's racist these days, especially us conservatives :P
Stay strong and true to yourself man.
I didn’t know you folks in Ireland were dealing with the same problems we were here in the states.
Are you an Irish tory or a british tory..
@@tomcat8662 there are extremes on both sides. Lets not do the self victimisation thing
The point about “context” at 17 mins. is so critically important. Abstractions in current journalism and politics (such as “equality”) are typically avoiding context so as to advance the bigotry under a camouflage of care.
Thank you for letting me feel good about being in the Center.
I am a full-time lurker on youtube, but I HAVE to say this is an amazing interview!
When you're speaking about laughing in the face of adversity and time of crisis, just watch any military group! I'm ex-Royal Navy and we used to make jokes and laugh at stuff that would make a lot of people's toes curl! You both nailed it by saying it doesn't detract from the topic but enables a way of dealing with it!

Buddha preached "follow the middle path, avoid extremism"
Sounds quite extreme (;
@@alex62409 the extreme middle path
Islam preaches this also
@@sakinajabeen2179 where?
It's also the hardest path to follow because you are forced to keep your eye on the extremes constantly - you must consider them, study them. In short you have to think and reason. The extremes require little thought, in fact they require that you don't think.
Can't say I've Matthew speak before and I'm not sure how much Russell had to play in this but this is the best open interview I've seen, without trying to manipulate the narrative. As done in most of Jordan Peterson's interviews I've seen. This should be shown in American schools.
Always thought McConaughey was a bit of a hollywood blow hard putting on the Texan thing as a bit of a show but now I want to read that book. Seems like a legitimate and genuinely decent bloke with a heart a gold a zest for life. Enjoyed the bit about stand ups being the truth tellers. Sad but true right now. Guess there isn't any corporate money involved to corrupt it!
Not often do you get an actor so good (and funny), so honest, and with their heart in the right place. MM; you are amazing sir.
He says, “I am aggressively centerist.” I say I am in the extreme middle!
I say I am radically moderate
@@FrankSmith116 I say both of these. I commented it under another video interview with Matthew, and someone responded: "in other words, you are afraid to admit you are a right wing fascist". Well, about as much as a left wing fascist...

one of the best interviews EVER...so insightful and real. thank you
This is everything, I look for a in a great conversation.
No ego, intelligent banter.
You question where you stand in the world, all while throwing in some jokes.
Matthew always gives a great interview.
This is the best interview he's done on this tour!!!
I used to think he was just a good looking guy with a smooth voice, then my dream was shattered and I found out that Russell was from Bristol. LOL Only Joking, Matthew McConaughey is the man
😛😝😆😜 u Sir r funny! But Russell is 🔥 hot!
absolutely captivating conversation, really enjoyed it
I remember Russell from a few years back and I'm shocked at how level headed and considerate he is here. Really pleasant surprise.
Loved it!👌♥️ the most relaxed conversation of all Matthew's I've seen so far. Like 2 old friends- chatting and laughing. Previous 30 min😉
I didn’t even skip any this is 💯🙏🏽
I don’t think I have ever left a comment on RUclips before but felt truly compelled to stop here and say bravo! Have a deep respect for both these human beings and this interview was an unexpected treasure that I hope they repeat in the future.
McConaughey articulates his "Process" so fearlessly! One of the things that makes him so "Open" is the fact that his hands are speaking as much as his mouth is, if you really "Listen" you can "Hear" what he is really "Saying." Thank you for your courage, Sir.
There is absolutely an audience for the travelling Matthew McConaughey storytelling show. I could listen to that accent all day and there's real authenticity behind the humour. Please come to Montreal!
I could listen to the two of you talk all day. Also, I'm so relieved and happy to hear I'm not alone in the center. This was a great conversation! *subscribed*
That was fantastic. MM is one of my favorite actors. Hands down. It was really nice to hear his thoughtful reflections. I hope to see more of his work. And you Russell. I hope to see you in a movie soon.
Ever since popular stars started speaking out I’ve been hesitant to listen but Matthew has some great perspectives and thoughts to offer.
Absolutely cracking interview. Some real food for thought. Totally agree that context is all too often left out of modern discourse. More interviews like this please, Russell!
