What an amazing guest. Have loved this guy for years. Such a brilliant mind
Same!
I've been deeply inspired by Derren for many years, he is one of the reasons I qualified as a hypnotherapist.
I saw derren brown last year for the 6th time and met him lots of times before. So down to earth and fantastic stage shows. These interviews are getting better and better love this channel steven a real inspiration to me too!
any chance of getting brian cox on one day please, love these interviews. great work!
I always comment on these videos when DB is properly interviewed because he actually did change my life. Back in 2000 I was at university doing a Japanese degree and was struggling - at this time internet was still in its infancy and DB was just up and coming. I managed to find the contact details for his agent and emailed, explaining I was struggling to learn all the Japanese Kanji and could Derren (via his agent) suggest any strategies. Although I wasn't expecting a reply I got one - with a load of strategies and book recommendations. Fast forward to now and I'm a Consultant in the NHS with three undergrad degrees, two masters, and in the middle of a clinical doctorate. Genuinely don't think I would have had the skills to do that without the little email he sent, and I'm absolutely certain he won't even remember. For that he'll always be one of my heroes
That’s such an amazing story !
That's wonderful 😊 Well done for what you have achieved
Well done, which books did he suggest?
What a wonderful story.
Thank you for sharing.
@@ImmortalExplorer The two main ones I used and therefore only remember consisted of "You can have an amazing memory" by Dominic O'Brien (great as an audiobook if you drive a lot) and the main one was "Your Memory" by Kenneth Higbee. Bearing in mind this was 20 years ago (welp) the systems used are pretty well known now and I daresay there are more modern texts that perhaps lend themselves better to our current modern life. I think what they gave me - apart from obvious stuff like memory palaces and loci mnemonics etc - was that they forced me to come up with connections to things I wanted to remember (for example to remember that a liver function was around the transamination of amino acids I thought of a Transformer (that old kids toy) drinking a protein shake while taking a med school class) and the ability to make connections is something that has impacted other areas of life, and I personally believe that's the secret sauce these books give: the ability to think abstractly and come up with connections I would have otherwise not have thought of. That's for me, obviously - different people are very different. 🙂
After having been bullied by my six older siblings for being "SO sensitive", I've finally come to learn that my precious sensitivity is my greatest strength. If you're sensitive and thinking you're somehow weak, hang on, because you'll come to learn how truly special you are.
O yes , very strong but no need to use it to hurt , use it for love of ALL
I'm a mental health recovery worker. And speaking from conversations I've had with people, short, dated goals are massively important. However, to echo what Derren has said, we focus on goals that we, and we alone are in control of. As an example, rather than "by the end of spring I will have a job" we say "by June, I will have applied for 5 jobs". Ultimately, someone else decides whether we get the job or not, but we control our actions that impact on our chances of success.
Truly great advice
@@millennialbuddhism2619 maybe the fbi can ask him for help for the poor and oppression of the modern hierarchy of needs.
@@lucyhanks500 The FBI will never heal citizens, thats how they make their money. Thats up to you and I, Lucy :)
@@millennialbuddhism2619 of course it is, you’ll never be able to sell crutches to people without first breaking their legs; that is quite obvious I’d of thought.
On a supposedly less obvious track, is it possible to sell Hugo Boss T-shirts to citizens for £400, without first telling them their of no value as humans; ikewise why do women shop on the high street for products named after their children, their families, or themselves (consciously, or unconsciously)? Can one buy loving care, respect & regard? I’d be interested to know if a persons nature is natural or nurtured.
That's bullshit and bad for everyone.💯💨
Grew up watching Derren and seen his show in Glasgow a short while ago, he dedicated the show to his late father and the message at the end was "Don't just sleep walk through life", basically don't just accept your fate because one day you will regret it... the message deeply resonated with me as I had to be reminded of it at the time and even still now. Derren is a great showman and he has entertained us all for many years and I'm sure that he will continue to do so for many years to come.
You don't always have a choice in life ......trauma etc.
@@estherlane7498 I understand but you still can choose, don't give away your power.
i was sheltered by my family and feelng a bit lost becaus of it so I understand the phrase sleepwalking through life
I think what I most like about Derren Brown is his openess and honesty. This is apparent in his performances - he tricks our minds whilst telling us that is what he is doing. He is completely unguarded in this interview and I love him for that. His live entertainments are life-affirming, he is an exceptional human being. I also appreciate this interviewer's peaceful and relaxed pace, giving his subject room to think without distraction. I hadn't seen this channel before. I will subscribe.
Yes, amazing that he tells people what he will do then still does it. I thought the episode where he made the young man feel grateful about life was amazing as was the one where the guy gained consciousness, in Morocco. I can’t imagine how freaked out I’d be if that happened to me 😮
Ahhhh I've been wanting you to interview Derren Brown for SOOOO long, I saw his most recent show in December and what he does is truly mind-blowing, and he is so transparent about it. What an intelligent man! ❤🙏
me too best in the game
Transparent? Lol. He tells the audience he's reading body language and microexpressions and using subliminal suggestion and a ton of other such nonsense. That's not transparency; that is LYING! Mentalism uses NONE of those things. It's not real! Sorry! It's just not! For some reason, people really want to believe that Derren has these special skills that simply don't exist! They're tricks. They work every time, BECAUSE they are tricks. When Derren says he's "reading" people or planting ideas in someone's mind, it's no different to if an illusionis were to say that they are actually cutting a woman in half, and using magic to put her back together again. Nope. They are using a gimmicked box they didn't even design themselves. Derren is using gimmicks too. And it's not stuff he designed. It's the same old stuff mentalists have been doing since day one! He's being very dishonest and quite harmful though, by making these claims about his methods. It's a shame, because he has great hands and is a very good card magician. What he does on stage on on the TV shows, takes no skill whatsoever. It's all a dead cert from the get-go. He's a fantastic showman, but part of your mind will never be free until you can accept that everything he says about his methods, is just part of the patter. It's a lie. You could be shown how the trick works, and it would work for you too, 100% of the time.
When he gets one stranger to read the mind of another, what's the trick? Genuinely want to know!!
How do they do it? When they have someone pick say a color, a number, a word and a picture, how do they have the result prepared? For example I recently watched kid on AGT do an act where he was wearing an outfit under his suit that matched the colors that the judges each picked.@@ashscott6068
I love how even DB can't put a finger on exactly what he does. A true enigma, and certainly the most charismatic and magnetic showman I ever saw. Great pod.
Hes putting on an act. Hes hardly gonna reveal how he does what he does….otherwise everyone would be doing it
Mentalism!
He actually does reveal an awful lot in his early "magic" books with regards to NLP and hypnotism etc.
@@njones420 Listen i like him and i seen him live before its some act....but thats what it is, an act... very impressive none the less
Really is. I am always surprised by the contrast between him in interviews and him in shows.
@@njones420 Yes. He outright states that NLP is bullshit. And it is. Didn't stop him pretending to use it. His tricks are tricks, not skills. You could take anyone off the street, explain the trick to them, and they could do it. Mentalism is no different to stage illusiions, except for the fact that mentalists are often happy to dishonestly suggest to the audience that they're using shite like subliminal suggestion, NLP, etc and reading micro-expressions and body language, and all that garbage.
They are not. Derren is not. They all use the same methods. Stooges (though they all lie about it to the audience), spotters and discrete signalling, gimmicked equipment, etc
Hell, most of the audience conveniently forget that they ordered online weeks before the show, and now the "mentalist" has a bunch of email and social media accounts, and knows which seats they belong to.
Deerren even tells a story in an early book - I forget which - about a time when a gimmicked dice fell apart and the electronics fell out, so hee ejust put it back inside, and the dumbass he was doing the trick for believed it was a psychological misdirection.
Lol. People are so invested in believing that he has these special skills (Which he doesn't, because they don't exist) they they actually get angry at you for telling them the truth. Even though they can go read Derren's books themselves, and have their whole fantasy destroyed.
He put his "mentalism" nonsense together at the last minute, when Channel 4 planned a one-off magic show with a different magician, and that fell apart for whatever reason.
A friend of mine watched Derren live, the next day he said that it changed him, he was saying things like it had changed his perspective of things, my friend was fine, but yeh definitely opened up a part of his consciousness. Great guest Steven.
What a great interview. Derren is possibly my favourite 'celebrity'. I always learn something from everything of his that I watch or read. He would 100% be on my dream dinner party list.
It’s a weird thing to do to constantly curate your ideal dinner table but derren always has a seat at mine too.
@mathewfield7671 Same. He seems like wonderful conversation.
Saw Derren perform live in our home town of plymouth..he blew me away, ive never been able to explain what he did that evening but I remember I was awake all night with the absoulute wonder of it .
.was one of the best nights out ever ..
@@puddspudds5102 there’s definitely magic, it’s called black magic! Not of God!
That's entertainment.
@@krissiet4718 💯
Seek refuge from black magic in Islam. Search there’s of the sorcerous who cant posses Muslims
I have seen him live two times he blew me away on both occasions.I believe he uses various techniques to do what he does.He is an expert at reading body language working off small tells we all give off in situations which are heightened by feeling uncomfortable when participating as audience members on stage with him.He also is an expert at manipulating situations/conversations by using slight language cues such as repeating him self and using visual cues such as slight head nods when interacting with you to control the situation so that the outcome is favourable to him. He also uses some light hypnosis live on stage to make you more open to his techniques. I say all this because he used me on stage once and it felt like it was an outer body experience it seemed like he was in control of the situation and I was sort of watching what was happening from a 3rd person vantage point. It was all very strange and I felt very euphoric for some time afterwards.
What a treat! Massive thanks to you and the team for pulling this out the bag 🙏🏽 Fantastic questions as always, you coax out the authenticity in the conversation. I've been in awe of Derren Brown since mind control but it's so nice to see him as a genuinely nice and normal guy
Derren comes across really well. Very honest and humble. From what I see here, he's a lovely guy. People like him deserve huge success.
Agreed and you could also be describing Steven 🙂
I listen and take in every word derren says, he’s just so comforting, calming and relatable. Love it x
Loved Derren's stuff since way back in the day of the first TV shows. I also grew up quite secluded and enjoyed my own company and certainly love and value the ability to enjoy complete silence and seclusion as an adult, something the vast majority of people seem to really struggle with, I thrive in it. Good to know it's a 'thing' shared by others.
You want to find out how to interview someone to the best possible advantage, study this! Just watch Derren's answering and body language at the beginning. It is almost completely closed off BUT by asking the right questions in the right way, within the space of a few minutes he goes from describing himself as a happy, contented child to a child who cried a lot, who suffered from OCD type twitching and sniffling, who lived in constant shame because of his sexuality etc etc. This is also a great illustrator of how researching your subject properly in advance makes for a really great, well rounded interview. Brilliant!
I’ve seen Derren 3 times now and have been a fan for many years, I was in the finale of his show in Leeds last summer and he never fails to both boggle my mind and wow me with his talent in equal measures!! Great interview!
Cool. I was under the impression that he had retired.
I have always been a fan of Derren Brown and have fond memories of watching his shows on tv when I was younger. Last year, I had the opportunity to see him live in Birmingham and it was an incredible experience. I even had the chance to go on stage with him. His show made me really step back and think outside the box. I listen to your channel regularly and wanted to express my appreciation for the impact it has had on my life.
Since the age of 13, I have struggled with mental health issues. I was scared of the world and couldn't even go outside to the shops. Over the years, I have experienced both good and bad things that have helped me grow, but it wasn't until recently that I was able to break free from the grip of my mental health struggles. In the last year, my confidence has grown, some times I struggle to belive I am the same person when I look back. However a part of me still felt stuck and I found myself slipping back into old habits and thoughts. I became tired of working for others and being a people-pleaser. Since discovering your channel a month ago, I have started a business with a friend and have learned to say no to people. Your interviews with others and your own words have helped me take the leap to truly live and enjoy my life. My mindset is now (at 26) much more positive and I am learning to see everything in life, both the good and the bad, as opportunities to learn.Thank you for making these podcasts and videos. They are truly inspiring and motivating.
Wow what an amazing reply congratulation on your success and the amazing changes that are happening in your life.
I've seen 2 of his shows and I found his show Miracle really changed my approach to life. I was in tears at the end and the show still hung around my mind months later.
Awesome testimony, thank you 🙏 for sharing 🕊️🤗
Cant wait to watch this, only 20mins in so far. Derren's voice and the way he speaks is mesmerising. Love your podcast, so insightful
Without giving away any secrets, I've seen Derren 7 times, and this show is the best work I've seen, truly wonderful. xxx
Awesome interview. Derren is such an amazing human being! One of the all time greats, thank you Steven.
Derren, your books and tv shows were a pivotal influence when I was young. Thank you for existing ❤
Darren Brown is such a boss. Surprised he is not more well known, he really exposes the reality of how the mind works, and how people are so easily manipulated…
Yeah he’s great. Truly has something of nobility about him. Tirelessly honest, self-critical, loving, empathetic and intelligent.
Love the bloke 😊
Yeah, I'm American and discovered him in 2010, and that only happened because I stumbled onto his Mind Trick videos on UA-cam. He wasn't broadcast here.
@@MsAliciaRLthats really a shame as he is very clever and entertaining with a wide breadth of work and interests. I have had the pleasure of attending a couple of his live shows. Amazing stuff 😁
One of our favourite DOAC podcasts yet! It was an exceptional episode that truly stands out among the rest of the series for us 👏🏻
Steven I really enjoy your podcasts so much. You’re no. 1 in my list of podcasters. The questions you ask, your titles, the way your intros make it seem so suspenseful, your whole setup which feels so intimate and how you listen so keenly only interrupting to ask a deeper question related to the topic being discussed, I can watch hours and hours of your podcasts and never get bored, I just love them so much. You have this amazing art of getting people to speak with such depth. Your podcasts are so much more insightful when I compare podcasts of the same guest hosted by some other podcasters so I know for a fact it has got to do with your unique abilities. Thank you so much for sharing these with us, you’re doing an amazing job. ❤
This!!! Absolute nail on the head 👏🏼 10/10 podcasts and what a guest on this one jheeeez 🐐 Absolutely LOVE Derren Brown he is a geniusss and to hear him talking in this podcast was amazing. Smashed it!
@@leehasty. this comment reminds me how frustrated i was when derren was on rogan. big fan of both of them, but having been obsessed for many years with watching everything derren ever made over and over and showing everyone who'd listen, was quite annoying to see how little rogan actually knew about him when he had him on, to the point where i was quite curious how he wound up on there in the first place if it wasn't rogan being super interested in his stuff that was the reason behind the invite
Your comment mirrors my sentiment everytime watching or listening to any of Steven's podcasts, well said, we are so lucky ❤️ I'm grateful, intrigued and inspired while being educated
Seen him once already and got front row tickets to see him feb 17th, buzzing.
Incredible man.
As someone who is roughly the same age as Derren and followed his career since his beginnings on Channel 4 this interview was utterly compelling to me. Thank you Steven.
I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!
@13:25 he totally flirts..he's being so honest about his dark past..admitting the sadness he's been thru. His speech is totally something else. I could listen to him forever. Hypnotic
This is so strange last night I suddenly remembered Derren- I saw 3 of his shows probably 7-10 years ago and used to watch everything he does then this pops up today 😂
Same , i swear
I am OVER THE MOON to see this! I love Derren. I had plans this morning which I have now immediately stopped (still mourning the 6am uploads, not over it!) 😂
😂 Hope you enjoy this episode
@@TheDiaryOfACEO I of course, as always, will 🙏🏼 (whilst patiently awaiting an invite to the rave 🙌🏼🪩)
I cannot thank you enough Mr.Brown for what you said about fortune, stoicism, focusing on our intentions, doing our best and being aware of the fact that life does throw at us a lot of things which are absolutely beyond our control.
Thanks for the great content as always! Absolutely love Derren Brown. Went to his last show and it truly is mind blowing! Particularly enjoyed hearing his and your insights on happiness
You are crushing it with the guests. Great channel and getting even better all the time.
Another amazing guest! Derren Brown is such an amazing speaker, I always feel so engrossed in whatever he is doing. I’d love to go and see one of his shows ✨
My friend with anxiety went to Darren's show in London and afterwards he waited and asked Derren what to do. Derren took the time to talk to him sincerely and offer advice. 💌
Coming from rural South Africa, I read a book written by Derren brown in my early teens and it paved a way to my perception of reality.
Which book?
Tricks of the mind@@seascs
I went to see Derren's tour 'Showman' in Bradford a year and change ago and he had me on stage for the finale. I am both in awe and terrified of this man in equal measure

Absolutely brilliant. Quality guest and host to match. Becoming addicted to these podcasts!
Love DB - what a humble, self-effacing and open man. Also, massively interesting and well read.
I remember watching Derren in his older TV series on Channel Four way back in the year 2000. I always found his material fascinating -- I still do. Thanks for this episode! 😀
Just downloaded to listen at work tomorrow can’t wait. We all have that inner voice that is sometimes our friend and sometimes our enemy. Hopefully this will teach us all about it.
Great interview, thank you! I've been lucky enough to see most of Derren's live shows and I've always come away from them, not just asking "how did he do that?" but also contemplating the deeper issues of life. Thanks so much for this wonderful discussion.
I remember watching one of Derren's shows circa 2009 in Southampton and was blown away!!! Had no idea Derren was an introvert, pleasantly surprised by this, based on his ability to be such a showman! Thank you for sharing Steven :)
......
You never fail to provide great guests Stephen thanks. And it’s also great to see you back in the Den, we have been waiting a long time 😊
These interviews that you do are really thought provoking. Thank you!
Parents who encourage their kids to do whatever they have passion for…total and fair play. What a leap,of faith it must take for them, when there’s so much baggage we can carry and despite what must be best intentions of every parent, pass down the generational chain.
Just paused prior to the advert. I think this is the one guest I never knew I needed to be on here.
Another great job, and another spectaluar series of questions. Well done 👏
Honestly dude, cannot wait for this to continue to grow and keep watching this space.
UA-cam premium set up in Turkey is 1.50 a month
so it’s how we respond to life which makes all the difference. Being optimistic lightens us naturally and can maintain a sense of happiness. The longer we become mastered at this then helps when the shit flys and we need a calm centre to work from. It’s our story after all. Language and communication are key. I enjoyed this interview and I’ve also seen DB a couple of times now live. He’s awesome. 🎉
Derren Brown has the most beautiful smile. I've always thought that about him. His whole face lights up and he just looks so sweet 🤩
Wow this is so exciting I naturally felt pulled ( in the nicest way ) into this , I feel I was listening in a way I don't normally would ..I have so many fantasies that keep me alive as I put every moment of energy with something creative ..then go and chat to just about everyone I come across ,I love the way Derren touches his face its almost like self care and soothing .I can relate with so much he says although he is incredibly intelligent and well read ...and i just survived pounding the streets and dancing in fields ...thanks for this interview ...loved it .
One of the best interviews I have seen you take.. Derren is amazing, and always thought of him as being other-worldly, based on his TV shows (never read any of his books). But all the way through this conversation, I got a feeling that he was truly invested in your opinions (by way of his little prompts, a noise if any, that he wanted to hear your side of the story, as much as you wanted to hear his).
Definitely one I'll come back to again and again.
His books are great, would definitely recommend reading them:)
I am a great admirer of Derren Brown. I have read his book "Tricks of the Mind" twice, I really recommend it.
......
Another great interview, love what your doing @The Diary Of A CEO, been recommending your channel to all my friends.
Keep up the good work
He's absolutely out of this world..such an impressive thinker. What a wonderful man !
The absolute perfect podcast for a long drive to work😢 Derren truly is impressive
Greatest of all time
Just discovered your pod, and I already am addicted and astonished. Excellent work, outrageously incredible! Thanks, I need all this. Greetings from Norway.
Awsome guest. Love Derren Brown’s shows & have seen him love once. Would definitely go again. Great to hear everything he had to say.
Thank you for the fantastic interview! Prior to this, I was not familiar with your work, but now I am hooked on your channel. As a magician and mentalist who frequently performs at restaurants, this interview has been incredibly motivating. I appreciate all of your hard work.
I suggest you watch his TV shows as they are mind blowing. He is a genius! I'm sure you'll find it inspiring.
Have to say, I’ve seen you promoted around online, Steven, and this is the first interview I’ve watched, and you are an excellent interviewer. Brilliant.
I would also suggest reading the AA ‘Big Book’, and seeing how gratitude, service and compassion were identified as the route of lasting happiness as long ago as the 1930s.
Totally, totally brilliant and fascinating man! Loved this and loved seeing his show in Cardiff recently. Derren gets me to think about life and see it in a way that nothing or anyone else quite does, his perspective is genius.
I love Derren so much
My favourite episode yet, what an intriguing person. You’re a fantastic interviewer asking the best questions
Yes and the interviewer doesn’t interrupt Derren. Excellent interview. 😊
Derren Brown has been my favorite magician/performer for years! It baffles me that most Americans don't know of him.
He simply wasn't broadcast here. I discovered him in 2010, and that's only because I accidentally stumbled on a Mind Control video on UA-cam
This is THE episode I have been waiting for. Thank you for this 🙏🙏
Such a beautiful description of love and what it means. Great interview on this my new favourite channel.
Fascinating to observe, of all SB’s guests, how little eye contact Derren made throughout the interview. Absolutely no judgement about this comment, just interesting. I wonder if Steven noticed.
I live by myself I spend a lot of time at myself I look forward to the people that you interviewed ,as I feel it’s like an interview into the room with you both,and you can’t see me but at the same time I feel very comfortable I feel welcome and I get educated , thank at the same time this interview was amazing there was a lot in him he said as a child that I saw in myself growing up thank you.
I adore Derren. He's superb. I've never seen him live but his book tricks of the mind is a superb read. Great interview as always.
Always been so intrigued by Browns work. Thank you for this episode!
I was lucky enough to get called up on stage by Derren at his showmam tour ( that's life). Was a great night for me my mum and son. Derren invited us back stage after for photos and signed a badge for my son. Wish id asked for advice with my drug situation at the time. Was caught up enjoying the moment totally slipped my mind. Will definitely go to another live show was a class evening
So, Derren inadvertently helped you with your drug situation! It slipped your mind because you were distracted by something else that had real meaning for you and your family in the moment.
Just for future knowledge, entertainers are not a good source of advice for mental or physical health. Remember that even though he seems secure with his philosophy, he's still a magician, not a mental health professional.
I do hope you are doing well.
I was so excited to see Darren being interviewed. He's honestly one of my fav stars 😊
Who?
@@1337murk Autocorrect changes his name to Darren 🙄
@@jennybrockartist Yet we have the ability to proof read before posting, or is that too much effort?
@Benj You certainly didn't reread your comments. Otherwise you'd find yourself being unnecessarily harsh to a stranger making a mistake.
@@ingec1736 That wasn't harsh.
One of my biggest inspirations for helping my mental health, love his shows and books, fantastic interview
Absolutely loved this interview, derren is very interesting and steven is such a great interviewer. Great stuff.
Derren is a gem that is so underrated. Thanks for properly interviewing him.
I love his shows, because of the craft he has; but indeed also because of him educating, because of him letting the audience think. The show leaves you thinking about not only the tricks, but also hints of philosophical questions. Things that matter. It touches. And that's why he has been able to be doing this for such a long while.
Whenever someone asks about pyramid schemes, I recommed "horse races"; or whenever someone wants to get an intro on placebo, I recommend "fear & faith". And tons of other content he made debunking things. This man truly made "magic shows" interesting again, and keeps them interesting, because it isn't about the magic trick in the end. It's about life & people.
I'm becoming addictive to this channel. Rain of knowledge💥
Thank you for bringing such great guest.
Love that! Thanks Mario, hope you enjoy this episode
I was always so sceptical of you, not because of what you do or your content but I always listened to the podcast and it didn’t quite grab my attention. I’ve recently watched the Jessie video and since then been hooked. Love your directness, love your interview style, your compassion and your drive. Love this channel and your work now so big fan now 😅 good luck with your future for the channel 🎉
Always seen your clips on TikTok but never watched the pod in full, definitely will this one 👍🏼
Just when I thought your interviews couldn’t get any better ……👏👏👏
Control of the mind sounds so perfect we are so much at the mercy of it 👏
What a lovely kind humble man Derren Brown. Loved his show in London 2023 especially about his Dad ❤
I love the section in which he talks about analysing how well his post-uni day-to-day life fit in with his preferences and values :) Good for him for following his own path, keeping childlike enthusiasm, and for avoiding being sucked into the rat-race!
Darren comes across really genuine,and wot an artist a credit to the industry,and who cares about his preferences it his privat circumstances.good interview
Saw derren perform a couple of his shows. Comedic,manipulative,fascinating,gripping. But always entertaining.👍👍
What a great interview, love how real and meaningful the questions were.
Also love Derren brown, always been fascinated by his work and who he is. The greatest showman song popped into my head which I think is quite well suited to him. His shows are the greatest! 🙂
The absolute best channel on UA-cam.. the gift that keeps giving
You should have seen my face when I saw the guest - I’ve been waiting for him to be on here for a long time!
😂enjoy the ep!
This could be one of the best, derren brown is a master....
Derren Brown is fantastic. He doesn't use our lying eyes and brains to trick us, but to try and make us better.
I still remember that first feeling of wonder from the opening clip of Derren's first show 20 years ago.
i'm still was fascinated to this day by his ability to show us how our brains lie and misrepresent our perceptions.
He's helped my introspection and given me several tools to navigate myself psychologically/emotionally.
I was SO thrilled when he mentioned Iain Sharkey as one of his best friends, their meeting and subsequent friendship history is as beautiful as it is unlikely.
Also,.. whoever the host is,... you did a GREAT job!
There were several questions you asked that i've always wondered about.
When Derren said that he had a clear preference of which of his dogs he prefers, i shouted out 'DOODLE'..... only to have the wife give me a weird look around the corner.
Literally caught Derren’s show 2 nights ago so this interview couldn’t have dropped at a more perfect moment (for me personally!!) Excellent, excellent interview - Derren is always a fascinating & unique thinker - &, just to say if you weren’t already leaning in this direction, I can attest to the fact that his new show IS astonishing. (And no, i don’t work for him!! Lol).
Great GREAT podcast. Thanks for the upload.
Been a fan of Derren since his first TV show. He is brilliant
My favorite guy of all time! Thank you for bringing him into your show❤
Man it's soo cool you got Derren on as a guest! I'm elated and also wish the conversation continued even longer. Cheers!
Yessss we LOOOVE Derren!! 🪄😍
This is gonna do mad views, great guest!
I came here for Derren but I've subbed because you are an excellent interviewer. This was such an insightful discussion, you are both a delight to listen to.
