After 50 fantastic episodes, James O’Brien’s time at the helm of #Unfiltered is sadly coming to an end.
In this special episode with BBC Radio 4 presenter Fi Glover, James signs off from the interviewees chair with a touching conversation about his life. James shares his experiences from growing up adopted and getting expelled from school to breaking into journalism through gossip columns and showbiz, before ultimately finding his ideal platforms at LBC and JOE.
He talks about the curse of being right when all is going wrong, his personal politics, views on free speech, the dangers of amplifying extremists, that infamous Nigel Farage interview, and offers his thoughts on private education, capitalism and economics, feminism, sexual abuse, MeToo, the future awaiting Britain, and of course, Brexit.
Unfiltered will return with a new presenter after a very brief hiatus. | JOE.co.uk

The man is super intelligent and interesting.. love his wit, always on point.. what a shame he's only done a few of these, I was looking forward to watching this show every week, shame I've only just found this series
Bollocks he is!!
Well done, James. I loved the honest look into your beginnings and those remembrances of your parents.
I EFFING LOVE YOU! LOVED THE SHOW! DAD WOULD BE GOLDEN WITH PRIDE!
Couldn't disagree with him more on education. It's been proved again and again that concentrating resources into private education deprives everyone else of opportunity. His own father realised that by all account.
Really great talk and fascinating to hear more about such a great host. You know you're doing something right when spambots & trolls feel like they have to bash you. Keep on doing your thing James, we're with you!
All 2 of you
MrHorror1971...fuck of half wit.
Speak for yourself 🤐😶🙊🙈🙉
Listen to James all the time on LBC or the older stuff and highlights on UA-cam. Great character, great interview 👏
the guy is a plutonium grade muppet
Thank you for this interview, and look forward to listening to James on LBC into the future!
I almost vomited in the first ten seconds.
It must be the shock of seeing intelligence, informed opinion, rationality, pragmatism, great communications and humanity
@Inselaffe Then it definitely is the shock of seeing intelligence, informed opinion, rationality, pragmatism, great communications and humanity. That's what you don't like....along with brown people and the swarthy
I worry for you,
@@pastyman001 why?
Anti free speech and anti democratic. How very progressive.
Jak Ford you what? Are you an idiot or just pretending?
And you have just described why UK politicians don't and can't truly represent the people. They are all from that public school system and talent and knowledge are secondary to that. Same as it ever was.
I think the guy's a bit of a bully tbh. He has the advantage of being more articulate and better researched than 99% of people and uses that ability to verbally beat them up if they happen to disagree with him.
So You are blaming him for being articulate and a great researcher??? Are You hearing yourself??
When he says things like he doesn't understand why so many people voted for Brexit because he doesn't see anything positive about leaving the EU he shows his ignorance.
I'm not saying that in a nasty way.
I'm saying that if JOB got a job in a factory where the employer wanted to cut his pay and pressure him into working more hours because a steady stream of Eastern Europeans are willing to work for less money I'm sure he would have an epiphany.
"She could have done anything she wanted to, but she didn't because she wanted to be at home with the kids"
So she DID do "anything she wanted to". It's just that what she wanted to do isn't what she thought it was, or that feminists tell women they must want to do.
How about "being a mum / housewife is a full-time equivalent job and has value so I'm not going to sneer at those that do this"
Brilliant final question about James's dad.
Yawn, yawn, yawn.
I’ll miss James, really enjoy unfiltered. My personal favourite was Irvine Welsh. Would have loved to have seen Gervais or Stephen Merchant. Shame there’s nothing like this on TV these days. A lot of pricks slagging James off, fuck knows why they are here. Always seems odd to me, people spending their time watching someone they dislike.
I like James. But your comment about white males having it all does show up your middle class upbringing. While all aspects of British life are dominated by white men that doesn't stop working class white boys falling desperately behind just about every group you could think of. The life of a white male chief executive is so far removed from that of a working class white boy who's parents have probably lived hand to mouth for every single day of that child's life. Their life options are so dramatically limited by this. This is why we need to stop dividing people down gender & racial boundaries & start looking at problems where problems actually exist. This can only happen by seeing everyone & every case on individual merits. A privately educated middle class white girl is not less privileged than a working class white boy. Her gender has not disadvantaged her. The reality is that most people get advantage from the social standing of their parents & not their gender. You James, a privately educated white male understand this yet you continue to sell this myth that one gender is disadvantaged compared to another. Being poor in Britain is the biggest disadvantage any child growing up can have. & being poor is not exclusive to people not lucky enough to be born white & male.
keep J O'B tucked away on LBC, he is not a journo, more an activist these days
neil1964100 An activist? He should keep his facts to himself in case people become informed?
Yes God for bid that the public should learn the truth
Gonna utterly well and truly miss this format with James as host. A fitting 50th interview. Looking forward to his book release.
Checking back on this channel after along time away. What happened to Unfiltered? I don't see any since this last one, 1 year ago! James was such a great interviewer and the reason i sub to this channel.
Very interesting ... and most of what you have said has come true ..brilliant mind.
Fi, I still can't get over you leaving Radio 5 Live.
If society only had a few more like him!
I love the way he talks over people when they are seeking to engage in conversation removing the ability for the listener to hear what they have to say. Genius.
honest thanks guys
Fi Glover is a really talented interviewer.
Yes, she’s very good
As dull as ditch water!
I remember Fi Glover when she was young.
Damn , what were dinosaurs like ?
Rohypno tist Farage.
Decent people 🇬🇧
Absolutely love JOB ❤️ What a great guy ! Honest , funny , empathic with a moral compass 🙌
44:25 Can I get a TRUUUUUUUUUUE
RESPECT for you about your father.....🙏🏻
James O’Brien I fucking love you mate. Run for parliament
One word= class
I’ve loved JOB since the delivery man told the hilarious story about crossing the Thames 3 times to reach his destination (great story). Over the years James has made me think, laugh, agree, cheer and cry (his fantastic compassionate interviews skills with people suffering are overlooked). Thank you James for the memories and I hope there will be many more. I don’t know your father but I’d bet my house he’s very, very proud of his son.
I do find James O'Brien very annoying but also entertaining.
Entertaining, you mean like a clown entertains?
I love this! Finally someone interview the boss! Love this spin!
James is absolutely right. There are definitely more Jameses around. People who took things for granted and just believe that those who hold high opinions of things are always correct. But then when you stop to take a closer look you are unbelievably shocked at how dumb, manipulative and dishonest these people are.
Great show, mind the trolls.
I carry all those things.....I have crippling emotional baggage...had all the opportunities, just like James...but that feeling of rejection has totally corrupted the last 48 years...it's only now that I am getting better, but as for thdrapy....no chance
Have you been check for any underlying depression? Antidepressants have save me....
I could listen to James for hours great interview.
The more the Right Wing Extremists and Brexit Maniacs loath him . . .
the more he gets them spitting mad . . . the more i love his intellect & charm and on air brilliance
Quite happy to effectively give Carl Beech a platform though.
Love O’Brien ,not always agree with him but he’s one that will question hard and give honest answers, the only interviewer that gets to the point and keeps at it, well done James keep it up
He is an intolerable opinionated privileged spoilt brat that never grew up, claims an Irish heritage when he was adopted? The personification of the I'm all right Jack "journalist " condescending attitude to the man in the street
Westham till I die .its quite obvious from your reply that your thought processes are one of an underdeveloped amoeba, he’s one if not only hosts where by if your argument hold up to his scrutiny will Change his stance ,has he has done on many occasions,if you’ve listened to him over the years ,you could only agree with me. But bigots and a liar have an uneasy ride which one are you?
That puts me one brain cell above you vegetable, he bangs on and on about brexit calling leavers racist or mentality retarded,how does he KNOW what brexit will be??maybe one of his "unicorns" has a crystal ball
Westham till I die maybe but from my personally experience every racist I know is a brexiteer, who believe in little England and dream we can go to our empire and rape their goods and sell them ours at inflated prices like we did for over 200 years
Duane Pipe better to hate than hope hey......self loathing in full effect, you need help!
Great interview.
Sad to see you go James. Would like to see more of you doing these kind of interviews. 👍
Yorkshire Lad What do you gain by posting this? If you dislike James O'Brien so much, why are you here commenting on an interview dedicated exclusively to him? At least try and make an intelligent argument as to why you dislike him so much.
Yorkshire Lad Why don't you try explaining it? Still doesn't explain why you're posting on an interview exclusively dedicated to the man, looks like trolling for the sake of trolling. Explain to me why you want someone like Mr. O'Brien to vanish?
Yorkshire Lad No you didn't explain anything, you inferred something presumably about Brexit, I take it you voted Leave. What's really interesting though is how quickly people get upset when they are asked to explain a position they take, for what it's worth, I think this interview would be of real value to you. Of course you don't have to answer any questions but I took your interaction on this forum to mean that you were at least open to some sort of debate. However, if your mind is closed then I guess it's closed, thought I'd try and learn more about what your opinion is based on, that's all, guess you either can't or won't try to explain it.
Yorkshire Lad Not looking to save you from anything and I'm not looking to straw man anyone. I'm fascinated by your statements, about Mr. O'Brien being an enemy of democracy etc etc I'd love to know how you reached those conclusions but I won't make you repeat yourself, you can't or won't explain. That's fine. Have a good life!
Great interview and great host, sharp and super smart, respect.
2 middle class squares discuss the issues, riveting!
Why do people that do not enjoy listening to James watch this video? I would not seek out videos of interviews with people I do not like. Seems like a bit of a waste of time.
Henriette Risseeuw morons mate. Brexiteers who hate him because he makes them sound thick. Which they are.
One could travel 1000 miles in any direction before encountering an individual so utterly blind drunk on his own virtue. Put the bottle down and sober up, James, you've had quite enough and have done for some time now.
how can you compare hackney to chiswick??
wolfie smith...he was born in Hackney you clown. Lost of wealthy people live in Hackney by the way fool. Not to mention Stanford Hill...London’s Jewish area. But who cares about facts when you’re a Brexiteer eh idiot.
James - do one on radio presenters becoming limited companies.
thank you Joe and James, it's been absolutely wonderful.
I could listen to him all day!!! Love his voice
Unfiltered is James O'Brien farewell unfiltered I will miss you.
Yes, but then there were people like the eventual political editor who I was talking about you to!
3.15 in, and that 'one lad' would have given him a good hiding every single time.
Your point is? That nasty piece of work is justified because he could beat him up? For being adopted? Or objecting to being insulted?
he used to be an anti abortionist...wow
Now he believes in a woman's right to murder her own unborn child...
SICK.
It’s called virtue signalling so more lefties listen to him.
Nonsense, brought up as a Catholic but comes to understand that abortion is a decision for the woman to make.
@@frze5645 - I bet you’re a man!
That’s a normal passage for most Catholics- just look at Ireland
I wish I was related to James.....oh the debates!!!!! Wish the beeb would pick him up
lmao, this must've gotten linked somewhere, because holy shit, bucketloads of trolls suffering from JoB Deranged Syndrome in the comments, lmao.
Adrian Alexandru...Brexiteers mostly hate JoB because he rips their pathetic arguments apart at will. A truly decent humble man. I wish he was our PM. We’d have our poor looked after and the rich would be made to pay their way for once. Which is why the ignorant Brexiteer clowns hate him...the media tell them to.
You sound like a whittling women......
@tubetardism 20/20 ah,touch'e
Jamis with your face- like a prattling old dinnerlady....
Jamis with your face...
Fan!! enjoy his podcasts and radio show!!
ill miss him as host. his style is not for everyone and not everyone likes him. but his interview technique is good. ask a question, shut up and let the guest speak. his interview with cantona was excellent, think a bit of fanboying going on.
I never see him patiently listen or ever try to fully understand others opinions. Even when he's right, he's a patronising dick to those people and does not change their mind. Are we in the same reality?
Trevor Kenwrick you are probably confusing his radio phone in with this podcast. It’s ok I get it, thinking and typing can be hard for some.
Roy bob agreed he cuts off callers and that is wrong but i have to say some of those callers particularly those concerning brexit have been clueless
imedi Particularly ones that you don't agree with you mean.
Roy bob what has my parents got to do with anything you idiot ..
Yet another child like rant lol
Question should be ..
Did your mommy give you permission to message strangers :) grow up
What an absolutely great man. The grown up thinking with the addition of his childish temper makes him a joy to listen to. Wish James all the best whatever he is up to, and hope we can listen to him a lot more. :)
He's still doing LBC right?
Josie Fox yes, of course. He must be up to something more though, as that takes up about 3-4 hours of his day, so let's hope we can see/listen to him even more. :)
Hes a dick!
The only way I would like to listen to this pudding faced dunce is his last words in front of a firing squad.
ANTON RUDENHAM Yet here you are commenting on an interview dedicated solely on his life. Well done.
ok....learned "apotheosis".....similar to "Wingardium Leviosaaaaaa"
Incredible smugness. I hope I can achieve these levels of peak smug by his age. Superb.
Mr O'Brien Thank you for your superb interviews enjoyed each and everyone. Shame your leaving hope you do more again in the future. Won't be the same but get the next host right please Joe.
Will do.
Andrew Goddard.
By "superb interviews" I assume you mean his teeth gnashingly annoying predilection for talking over anyone who fails to agree with his own at best ill informed opinion on absolutely everything this planet has to offer.
ANTON RUDENHAM...but when I ask you for one example you go all quiet. And tomorrow you’ll say the same shite. You’re an idiot. Must be a Brexiteer.
'He'd be chuffed'
Well...
Liberal seems like a dirty word NOW...
But only because the Murdoch Papers here and in the US made it so.
Good interview ... he is quite open and thoughtful...
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
John Major in a white suit.. Good lord..
rockyboy220...typical Brexiteer moron. How on Earth can you call JoB a Tory? Ahhh! It’s because you’re stupid isn’t it.
Remember seeing James on The Wright Stuff and remember not liking him though can't remember why. I suspect it was because I thought he was right wing. Because I'm a little bit surprised by his takes on stories on lbc.
Real men can't cross their legs like that...
whispers from my arse say hahahah...moron. Yet another a Brexiteer who can’t spell four letter words. It’s “You’re”!!! Twat.
Your cool king and very fair anyway I'm happy mum and dad created you enough said
If there was ever a case made for a British empire in the future, the world would welcome it if it was headed emperor James o brien 😊
hurrah!
James represents muscular liberalism
James O'Brien for PM
Will miss him as host, he’s great at drawing out the essence of what makes people psychologically tick
I really like Unfiltered and James and Fi Glover ... but the fake brickwork is so distracting .
At 32 mins - BOY is James eating humble pie now.
Is he?
32:16 True. But humans are not always rational actors.
did he say unearned privelage??
If he did, he wouldn't have spelt it like that.
pure champagne socialist
Agree with James on most things but he's a bit simplistic about men's rights...incels are really nothing to do with men's rights. And are you really saying that a straight white male from a poor background is more privileged than an upper middle class white woman? You can't lump men into the same category because of the class system. Check your privilege Mr O' Brien.
I'll really miss him, every episode has been great.
I'll miss James at Unfiltered. He is truly a rare and thoughtful voice of sanity and reason in our media. Best of luck, James.
is he leaving????
He’s a tosser.
@@gavinthornton1591 I don't think you like the truth do you?
Steelinversion83 - I like objective, pragmatic solutions to problems while respecting the rule of law and democratic principles. Do you?
@@gavinthornton1591 yes I do but unfortunately we are not getting that from the government
Frank Lampard? Why? ? ? ? ?
The epitome of a champaign socialist
If you knew anything about socialism, you'd know champagne is allowed. (Possibly the greatest Parliamentary socialist ever was a viscount - unlit he relinquished his title - don't forget).
Got a lot of time for James.
How much, couple of minutes?
Me too
I can't stand him but I would hate to see him leave LBC as stupid as it sounds.
I would love to warm to James, but I simply cannot. It's one thing to question things, but it's the constant repetitive negativity in content and his monotone voice which means that I try and try to listen to his morning show to get a balance of views on LBC but have to give up when he gives a repetitive monologue for at least 20 minutes and then when a caller gets on his show - the first thing he does is interrupt with often sub-intellectual/childish points.
eloquently put.
Austen J you are a cretin and a troll
@@nivlek44 Neither. I thought I made a coherent set of points to outline why I cannot warm to James. Perhaps you can outline why I should.
@@nivlek44 Don't be so childish, Austen J is simply making a point as he sees it.
@@jasonkingshott244 Thanks Jason. Isn't it terrific when you put an honest, considered set of points down and then someone posts that you must be a troll and a cretin in reply. I've only been following JoB's programme for the past couple of months to try and understand the balance against my Leave vote - I have to say that his failure to offer any alternative solutions on every single subject is so alien to my mindset. I've dubbed him as being 'Captain Backfire' in all of my recent postings - counterproductive to his whining.
Fi Glover..........clever, bright......and has got lovely hair.........can In say that without being 'sexist'
10 seconds was enough
Snowflake
Sending your children to private school automatically makes you right of centre politically. Just an unavoidable fact. Purchasing privilege makes a joke of any other left-leaning ideals you might think you have.
Her name's on the list too. Don't worry.
Can we clap for this man
What a pair of window dribblers
James is absolutely right about the BBC being a toothless tiger now. The Conservatives have got their way. Sad.
I watched the ferrange O’Brien interview and James u hardly destroyed him u clown
Some very mature comments here school playground stuff the guy fights for what he believes in and i agree with him if he calls anybody any name they deserve it for being thick and ill informed
Dash 8 Q400 Channel WWFC...absolutely spot on mate. I’d love for JoB to be PM. The rich would hate that. Share the wealth a little. Not that the Brexiteer half wits could see that. Brainwashed by the rich owned media.
@Darren Gregg Call the cops and get me arrested , they should bring back the death penalty for it arsehole
Part of the metropolitan elite echo chamber!!
At 53 mins - freedom of speech - is NOT about being able to say whatever you want. ??? O'Brien - you really have a twisted mind.
I like O'Brian but hes dead wrong on mens rights issues.
There is one area that men are at a distinct disadvantage at...divorce/child custody rights. The courts are still on this antiquated belief that men should bare all the financial responsibility in case of a divorce -even if the wife works and makes a salary equal or greater to his own. Doesn't matter if you are supporting the family alone doing 60 hour weeks while the wife doesn't work and they have no kids, she will usually get half of everything in most cases. Does that sound like men being treated equal?
Even worse...child custody. Ask ANY man in a divorce proceedings how bias it is toward men it terms of child custody. I'll state my own example...
It's *not* my ex-wife or her family whose contesting me getting full custody (its an amicable split, and she acknowledges that due to her mental illness plus her physical handicap following a failed suicide attempt she is incapable or caring for our daughter) its the COURT that is throwing up roadblocks. The court is essentially telling me "sorry your a man, you are not qualified to care for your little girl" even though I have already been doing it alone for almost 2 years.
And My situation is unique. Most divorces are between couples whom are feuding and that scenario is where the husband might as well accept hes going to be screwed. I have YET to meet the father satisfied with the child sharing arrangements unless he wants to see his kids less than 50% of the time (which happens with more career oriented people).
And God help the husband if the wife is a real twat and starts playing games to keep the husband from seeing his children, it is incredibly difficult to get the court to take action on the husbands behalf, but miss a child payment (for whatever reason) and the court will send in the SAS to make sure you are punished for it.
So Don't tell me there is no such thing as mens rights...
One last thing. The interview suggestions it is acceptable for a women to withhold sex. I assume that woman has never been married because legally if a partner regularly withholds sex its considered grounds for divorce the legal term is "constructive abandonment". This is true in religious law and in common law as both consider the purpose behind marriage is to have babies. No sex = no babies = no family.
So men (and women) do have a right to sex when its inside a marriage. They do not have a right to sex on demand, but the idea a spouse can without sex entirely is wrong both legally and morally.
In favour of Mass Immigration and as soon as he could afford to,moved from off the Harrow Road to Chiswick LOL
Yes its called blind altruism.
t s...no dickhead. It’s called Liberal. It’s what Great Britain’s values are built upon. But no doubt you’re a racist who denies being a racist because you so right. You ARE a traitor though.
I'm another punter who loathes this guy, which 4 him is a tired message, he's heard it all before, his world view has been challenged by normal voters on Brexit in Grimsby, Exeter, Crewe, Kings Lynn, Margate & because of his belief systems arrogant entitlement he's fuming!!
