We are considering this series being called: The Old School Podcast
Stop throwing stuff or we’re all gonna go home!
Bring it back regularly!
I think it doesn't really need a official name, i personally just call it the Brian and lawerence podcast as opposed to the True geordie podcast with X
Love it ❤️
Like the sound of that 👍
The moment about Laurence's grandma was one of the most touching moments i've seen. What an amazing podcast. And bless her
🚨🚨🚨 AAAAAAHHHHH!!! 🚨🚨🚨 school is sooooo boring i am in 8th grate and its so boring i am having sucess on youtube so i think i will drop out of school. i dont have friends so i need your opinon jo

😭😭😭💔
I'd just like to clear up that thing he said about "your diet being questioned on judgement day" around 19:00. Fasting in Ramadan is a way for us to be grateful of the food and drink we have at our expense in our everyday lives. There are millions around the world who go days without a sip of water or anything to eat. Ramadan is a means for us to humble ourselves and fast from sunrise to sunset, then break our fast, be grateful for what we're given and pray for those who have less than we do.
I understand why you'd think that but its not really because of that. I guess that is apart of the whole concept but the main thing is to help us become spiritually stronger and to really re-evaluate how we live our lives for the other 11 months of the year. while you're fasting you're supposed to go above and beyond what you normally do in terms of praying and reading the Quran and thats why it is encouraged and there are major rewards for living everyday like we're in the holy month of ramadan (there is a Hadith on this I'm pretty sure as well).
@@btechninja4952 yes, the main purpose of ramadan is to gain god consciousness
This is why the discussion on a public platform is a great thing, clearly Brian and many other non Muslims don’t understand the reasoning behind things and this comment is teaching and helping others learn without animosity.
@@MrBunney91 The animosity wont end 😂There will always be that one person.
@@abdulmuqheet7951 na then
To the Muslim watchers who haven’t actually watched yet, Brian is not fasting. Laurence is
No one likes Lawrence. He's a lefty Liberal. He's not on our side.

@@FapToMySkill why you click on the video
I could tell that just from the thumbnail.
Brian does fast everyday, from when he wakes up to the time it takes to walk to the kitchen
Major respect for this episode. I know it can seem silly I fast too can't say I'm the best Muslim I'm really not, but ramadan the point isnt to starve , you're meant to live your normal life , and its supposed to make you spiritually stronger which on my experience it does. By the time ramadan comes around my mental health is at its lowest and after Ramadan my mental health improves so much.
Horrible religion with horrible people, look at Afghanistan the poor woman can't go to school get jobs .Stuck and forced into marriages at young ages with abusive husbands and dont have any rights or free speech ,horrible people
Same!
I can totally understand that. I'm not muslim but I can see how fasting could work
Sister this is literally how i felt when i wasn't practicing, I realised I was really only happy in Ramadan cuz that's the only time I was practicing and then I started practicing because of the constant content I was feeling after every Salah and I realised how important Salah was, WAllahi sister the best thing you can do is get closer to Allah(SWT)
Shaitan is locked up may allah bless your health n strenghthen you ameen
I have a new found respect for Laurence, have to give him credit for opening up. The moment he was speaking about his grandma was so touching. So sorry for your loss.
This is the first time I've ever seen Loz like this. This really made me chuffed. Fantastic podcast from start to finish.

Bless man.. swear this was a good one, Laurence taking in this whole Ramadan vibe, taking the positives, it’s a blessing man. Bless your grandma, blessing for you bro, she opened up your mind to it.. love it ❤️ bless her man Keep your head up Laurence.
Major respect to Lawrence for fasting during Ramadan. Fasting is something that Muslims do to help build self control, fasting is not something that we do just to Starve ourselves. It is done to build this self control, trying to better yourself. Like it Lawrence it helps bring clarity to your mind, for me it helps me think of ways I can be better and try to build good habits that may make better. Another way to look at is to build patience in life something that is hard for alot of people. This can be used in a religious context or in a worldly context.
Mashallah brother
fasting isn't really good for you unless if you xan drink water
That's not the purpose. I'm not even Muslim and I know it's to become more pious.
2:183
@@jonahthrane812 so you dont think becoming paitent for the sake of god, does not make you more pious.
@@jonahthrane812 this idea of becoming stead fast for the sake of god i did not want to go in full detail as i was just talking about my experience in a simple form.
One of the big misconception that seemed to keep cropping up is that religious people are not critical thinkers which just isn't true. It's impossible to live life especially in the west and not have doubts and question your core beliefs, you'll anyone who is practing has had to wrestle with these ideas and may continue to do so. A lot of the aspects you guys seem to dismiss about Islam seems to come from just a lack of understanding, would be cool to see you guys do a video with someone like a Mohammed Hijab and explore some of these ideas further.
Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment.
@@babarkhan4732 out of context
100% akhi! A podcast with Hijab would be brilliant.
@@babarkhan4732 🤡🤡Out of context, nice try tho Babar Khan 🤡🤡🤡🤡
If someone has questioned their core beleifs and yet still chooses to believe in ancient fairy tales written thousands of years ago as opposed to provable western science then they're not a critical thinker but in fact critically retarded.
Really love these more casual podcast, just 2 friends chatting about different topics relating to their personal life
Loz, I've literally just gone through this with my nan she was more like a mum to me. She had pancreatic cancer diagnosed in December and died a couple of weeks ago. Without doubt the hardest time of our lives seeing her every single day for the last 3 months and questioning beliefs etc.
I’m a Christian pastor, but I’ve always had a tremendous amount of respect for those who participate in Ramadan.
I can barely convince other Christians to fast an entire day, but Muslims do this for weeks. It’s admirable.
Anyways. Just randomly stumbled onto this channel and video. Thought I’d show some respect.
Some Muslims fast every Monday and Thursdays
Thank you Ryan, may Allah bless you
They still eat breakfast and dinner mate. It's hardly fasting.
Thanks mate may allah bless you or god 👌
@@user-zy9yg2eu5t it is fasting we can’t eat when it sunrise so we can’t eat when the sun is out so while you guys eat at lunch and recess we can’t atleast try it before u talk it would be hard for u trust me and hope to see u make it
Seeing yous get emotional was weirdly amazing. Real friendship and it’s lovely to see ❤️💪🏻
What a way to start a Podcast!
Hey Shaun. Do you disavow the Holocaust Revisionism and violent Anti-Semitism of Ryan Dawson? I only ask because you frequently have him on your channel, where you present him as a voice of reason. We wouldn't want to sanitise the far-right, would we? Or maybe you would. Tough to tell, really.
I am in tears right now, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. I have to be honest here, the brotherhood between the two of you is so beautiful. You discussed things that have been troubling me for a long time, now I have some perspective. Thank you both for this amazing conversation.
One guest who would perfect to consider for a podcast would be Firas Zahabi. A world class MMA coach and trainer, a student of philosophy and science and a generally all round great human being. There is definitely some concepts Laurence touches upon in the podcast that Firas would offer a great insight.
+1
100%
YES!
They would just speak about mma and ufc, firas zahabi talking about religion and science would go over their heads, Lawrence thinks he is a critical thinker firas would school him just like he schooled joe rogan
One of the best and most relatable debates i've seen. Good to see respectful but honest conversation.
How do you feel after his most recent outburst?
Its not simply about your diet and going hungry but remembering why you are fasting every time you feel that ‘hunger’. Remembering things other than our own desires such as food and drink and think more about others by giving charity and remembering Allah through prayer. Fasting is just surface, Ramadan is about so much more than not eating.
'In Arab countries, more uneaten food is chucked out during Ramadan than at any other times of the year. Over half of all Dubai's rubbish during this time is food (up from a fifth normally). Bahrain's food waste increases by 50 percent and the United Arab Emirates' by 67 percent.'
@@AM2K2 the Arab population makes 12% of the Muslim population in the world
@@AM2K2 idk bro I am in Medina and in here when they give food at the mosque they force u to take the bread u haven’t finished or other food, Dubai and them other countries have modern Muslims that don’t know the concept of wasting food .

@@moety2752 You think it is unique to them? There is gluttony everywhere - *The new research by Human Appeal, released to coincide with the start of Ramadan, is supported by food-sharing app OLIO, and reveals that over three quarters (77%) of UK Muslims are concerned about wasted food during the fasting month of Ramadan, while over half (54%) have thrown away food during the month-long holiday in previous years*
'3 or 4 coffees a day!' Laurence officially living life in the fast lane.

Would love to sit down and have a chat with these guys. Amazing content lads. In my opinion perspectives are the key to life and we gotta absorb as many as we can to appreciate other people and connect with them on levels that may have seemed impossible before.
Appreciating other perspectives can never take away from your own - it can only broaden it.
The way you guys talk is so inspirational. Every time I watch you guys I feel like I'm having a conversation with my friends
Although I’ve been a big fan for a number of years, I’ve never commented till now. You guys have been in my car, my home etc with me and continue to be something I look forward to. Huge respect to you both, thank you
By far one of the deepest podcasts, thank you to both of you for giving your views on Ramadhan. The emotion when Laurence talked about his Grandmother was absolutely heartfelt, and may her dear soul rest in eternal peace.
Too often the mainstream media tries to drive a wedge between religious beliefs, and I grew up believing Christianity, Islam and Judaism were incompatible and polar opposites.
Anyone who wants to open their minds to understand how these religions overlap should try and obtain a quaranic translation by M A S Abdel Haleem (available om Amazon). Helped me understand my religion so much more, but also found new respect and understanding for Christianity and Judaism.
I wish this was longer. By far my favourite episode.
i really enjoyed this, thank you both for being so raw and honest
Bless both of you a million times over. Nothing but love.
19:00 To add more context to it Ramadan isn’t only about abstaining from food at water, but it’s also about refraining from sin and ill speech. The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said “If one if you is fasting, let him not utter obscenities on that day or raise his voice, and if anyone reviles him or wants to pick a fight with him, let him say ‘I am a person who is fasting.’”. Fasting is about resisting temptations of all sorts, improving your character, as well as refraining from food and water so that it strengthens your Imaan (faith) and brings you closer to god. It’s also about becoming more spiritual, reconnecting with the Quran, and increasing your good deeds as much as possible in the month and then carrying at least some of them further on in life. The restriction of food and water is just one aspect. May Allah guide us all. Ameen.
Haven’t watched yet but I encouraged my friend that ain’t Muslim to try fasting half the month, the benefits is beyond saying. All that “starving” gets restored in 5 minutes. That’s how short life is. I learn to appreciate eating on a regular, I get really humbled everytime and I see how first world problems is non existent in this month. Alhamdulilah
ramadan isn't good for you because your depriving yourself from water which is really important
You two are incredible. The balance between banter and vulnerability is exactly what this world needs more of x
~21:00 actually really simple to explain.
Japanese cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016 for his research on how cells recycle and renew their content, a process called autophagy. Fasting activates autophagy, which helps slow down the aging process and has a positive impact on cell renewal.
edit: turns out it was quoted later anyway, my bad. didnt watch it all
There’s a lot more to Ramadan than just not eating and drinking. That’s just one part.
ramadan isn't really good for your health..
@@hamodedmond1228 it actually is beneficial for your body
@@tayabraja1044 yes it would be if you want depriving yourself from water but because of that. it is unhealthy
@@tayabraja1044 but yes there are many health benefits from water fasting

Laurence’s comments in this when brian is talking are absolutely quality, had me cracking up
I felt like I was in a sitting room of amazingly open friends during this episode & it’s exactly what I needed at this moment. thank you for being open, unapologetically naive & for the inspiration to keep learning in every sense.
Missed you guys just having a chat about life, the universe and everything, really enjoyed this one, thanks 🙂
You guys should have Mohamed Hijab on the podcast and ask him any questions you may have on Islam, he's in the UK and is very well read on these existential questions.
Need this comment to bang so Brian sees it
I think for the conversations in this video like atheism it would be interesting but care needs to be taken. His views on women are still so problematic at times.
@@unknownuser5548 genuinely hope not. much better people out there to answer their questions 👍
he is literally a bad person that's a terrible idea
@@hamodedmond1228 shut up fanboy we don't care if you're a bigot, stop commenting everywhere
I think brians main issue with grasping the whole concept of ramadan and just fasting in general is the ignorance to why we actually do it, and I'm not knocking him for it because its the same thing with me not having any interest in other religions and in turn being ignorant.
we fast to become spiritually stronger and to have a stronger faith because we are encouraged to go above and beyond in terms of praying, reading the Quran and actually learning our faith even more. the other main thing that is supposed to come from this month is that we turn it into a lifestyle and not just one month out of 12, we're supposed to live every day like we're in the great month of ramadan.
now, that was one of the most simplest ways I couldve explained it but there are a lot of reasons why we fast and why ramadan is such a great month to us and all of that can be found in the Quran. if you do want a place to start, id recommend to read the translation for Surah baqarah Ayah 185-187. I hope you can getter a better understanding of why we do what we do, great podcast!
Loved every second of this pod I will always tone in for these
Looking forward to learn about this big up Brian thanks for the great content you have no idea how much your videos brighten up my day.
Before I even watch the podcast I know you two are going to kill it every time! by a country mile the best podcast in the UK! Deep conversation great chemistry and very funny anyway what's your favourite meal deal

This podcast moved me so much.
Similarly to Laurence, this year I’ve been doing Ramadan as I have a lot of friends in the Muslim community.
It has made me reflect and question on how hostile I was with my atheism. It’s opened my eyes to the positive benefits religion holds in a lot of peoples lives.

Imagine you died people die every day are you willing to take a chance tht you may wake up in your grave and theres a whole true religion u didnt know about you need to at least look in your purpose of life or maybe not maybe u will take a chance -id say take a look into islam many videos on youtube then look at others im a muslim and islam is the way but take a look make your own mind if you want

In relation to the beard comment, its just a preference, my beard is usually grown out evenly haha. The Qur’an States in Surah Baqarah
Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.
Which is why we Muslims place grave importance during Ramadhan, hope this helps :)
Nobody asked for the whole boring stuff. Keep your religion to yourself.
Horrible religion with horrible people, look at Afghanistan the poor woman can't go to school get jobs .Stuck and forced into marriages at young ages with abusive husbands and dont have any rights or free speech ,horrible people
@@btechninja4952 Dude it isn't prohibited to shave it, per se. But yes it is definitely a sunnah! The issue is, a lot of people take what the Prophet did and view the alternative as prohibited, which obviously isn't the case. Him growing a beard does NOT mean that not doing so is prohibited. There is not a verse (Quran) or Hadith (Propet's sayings) that prohibits shaving one's beard. Exactly like it isn't prohibited to NOT pray Sunnah Prayers (nafilah), but it is commended as "Sunnah" because the Prophet did it!
@@ahmedzayed2785 would be more accurate to say that it’s generally the scholarly consensus that you must keep a beard, different schools may differ on specifics, but I don’t think there is a school of thought which says it is not obligatory to keep one.
Sahih Al-Bukhari 5893: “Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Cut the moustaches short and leave the beard (as it is).”
@@ahmedzayed2785 you don't try to make rules from your own understanding. You've got to follow the consensus I.e. The four theological schools. From my understanding they all encourage keeping the beard with differences of how long/where it begins and what category it falls under.
"O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may develop God-consciousness." (Quran 2:183).
In short this is why we Muslims fast, it's an act of prayer, an obligation, that the Christians, Jews and all other people of God's religion were prescribed before us Muslims.
Fasting is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, the other 4 being shahadah, the declaration of faith in Islam,prayer, the paying of zakaat (the obligatory tax, which 100% goes to helping the poorest and most needy amongst society) and Hajj, the holy pilgrimage to the kaabah, the house of God built by Abraham.
That's really interesting, I've heard that Catholics take a percentage of the money for upkeep of building etc, where do Muslims get the money for repairs etc?
Also can you give more information about how & who decides who are the most needy & any examples of how you help? I was too nieve in the past thinking that all charity is good & goes to the most deserving but seeing the ignorance, selfishness, or down right theft of some has burst that bubble. Obviously there are a still great many good causes & personally I support one which gives Christmas presents to underprivileged children. I am interested in the different ways charitable causes operate, so any more info would be appreciated.
@@NotAnotherKuromi For repairs, Muslims usually get the money from charity tbh. They're not allowed to take the zakaat money to be used for anything else other than the poorest and most needy.
A good example is when Umar (RA) the second rightly guided caliph, and second closest companion if the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), had conquered both Byzantium and Persia, the money they gained in those campaigns were exclusively from spoils of war. Umar gave very strict instructions that the farmers and commonfolk of each empire could not have any of their property removed from them, and what was earned in spoils of war was distributed in charity after counselling with Umar and the other Muslims, including the leaders put in charge of Byzantium, Persia and other countries under the Caliphates rule. He was known as Umar Al Farooq, which means The One Who Distinguishes Between Right and Wrong.
Also on a side note, I'd urge you to read the story of the poor Bedouin Suraqah Ibn Malik and how he came to wear the Bracelets if the Kisra of Persia, something the Prophet Muhammad (s.a..w) told him he would do years before it came about.
I like it when you guys are sat closer together
We need more of you Lawrence again
Some of my favourite podcasts
Im a muslim and I love you both regardless of your religion x thank you for talking about ramadaan ❤
Ramadan isn't over yet keep going good luck
Loving the series
I LOVED this conversation you 2 guys ❤️❤️
Fantastic podcast
Im fasting ramdhan myself it was interesting to get the different points of view
Just to point out abstaining from nutrition is just 1 aspect of the holy month.
Also health benefits wise - fasting decreases insuling resistance, reduces blood glucose levels, and increases growth hormone (which helps repair damaged cells in the body)
Keep up the great content 👍
I agree. I try to fast every so often but by the afternoon I feel very spaced out . Maybe if I plan it better I’ll be more successful .
I love how normal ramadan has become. This podcast is another example of bridge building. Be proud guys.
By the way, Ramadan Mubarak 🌙
fasting without drinking water is bad for you
@@hamodedmond1228 It's actually really easy to get 2-3 liters of water in during the non-fasting hours, so there's no overall loss. On the other hand, there's a concept called dry fasting that has nothing to do with religion, whereby people fast from all water and food. sometimes for days at a time, solely for the associated health benefits so there's actually no harm in fasting from water during Ramadan hours. :)
@@hamodedmond1228 based on what science ? There are loads of different methods of fasting, most unrelated to religion altogether and definitely more arduous than Ramadan. Ramadan is hard for like one or two days max…then your body generally adapts and you’re fine. Your biggest fear is a food coma after eating too much at night.
@Mixolydian thanks
@@buttercup3576 there is. its much better for you health to distribute your water consumption throughout the day than to just consume it in one go. also lifestyle is a huge factor. what if you're really physically active. you defo need water
beautiful episode boys, proud of you both
Beautiful Loz - Trying my first Ramadan this month too, and how you spoke about the fundamental idea of God and a higher power. I believe the concept of God is deep down within us all, and we are all on that journey of discovery 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Serena Williama actually first said that she would beat guys outside of the top 200.

Low key changed the title of this video have we Brian 👀
This vid is sick love the interviews and the catch-up pods
Love you guys, proper good company every time 👌
Hey guys I'm a Muslim and currently taking part in ramadan,been a fan of the channel since 2014 and I took no offence to what u said everyone should be able to freedom of speech. With the fasting I don't think its really do it with diet but cleaning ur would and praying and a time to think about all the people who are less fortunate. Huge fan of u guys great that u guys are able to talk about different discussions.
Smile 2 Jannah & his viewers slammed this guy.
Good podcast. As a practicing muslim I really appreciate the dialogue on this platform. Brian I promise you, in the end .. God doesn't care about your diet.
Good podcast. Laurence's grandma is right.
Because if you really think about it .. what were the south americans or the australians doing when Moses split the red sea. Or when Mohammed was preaching ? As a muslim it is my understand my 'test' on this earth is to be a blessing to other people.
I also love the slight tangent in to the flood. Love Graham Hancock and his theories that are continuously being proven more sound. I find that they more and more collaborates with the religious teachings. Especially with how the archeology globally is starting to reveal.
Such a sick podcast,loved every single second!
Another banger you 2 channel is getting better and better ❤️
I have a guest recommendation for you guys, you can invite Mohammad Hijab on , he’s got a UA-cam channel and he’s well versed in Islam and can explain Islam to you guys.
Really sad to see that Brian & Laurence have decided to delete roughly 40 of the podcasts from UA-cam, a lot of those episodes were pure gold. We love the new you Brian, of course, but the old episodes were some of the best videos on UA-cam, and were hugely important to your supporters, so hope that you could potentially reconsider.
Hope you & Loz are doing ok big man!
Yes was very sad to see this aswell, The Annoy Story and Let your Sister Have Fun were always gold regardless of the level of maturity. Others such as old True News have also been taken down which were always much sharper and cleaner anyway. If Brian and/or Los see this please bring them back🙏🙏
What well known eps did he take down?
a good tg podcast to make me cry a bit. you love to see it
Please keep more of these old school episodes coming!
as a muslim myself, i can see and understand the points you're making, and I think thats the fun part of religion. Loz said it best. Its not about following strict rules word for word for no reason, but its more that you interpret those rules into your own rules and living by them with the main goal of essentially living a good happy life where you've been a good person. That is the reason I'm practising Islam. Another reason why I practice Islam is to have a purpose in life, which could be interpreted into something sad and deep, but I look at it as a beautiful thing. Reminding myself that the better of a person I am will increase my chances of a great afterlife not only gives me something to strive for, but it also gives me a purpose when I'm in my worst of days. I just want to leave this earth knowing I've been a good person. As Brian said, you don't need rules to be a good person, but it certainly helps you on your worst days. Brilliant podcast lads, I wish you'd do more of these open minded conversations
You don't have to interpret Islamic rulings as the scholars have already done that who have dedicated their lives for the Ummah. A lot of the rules in the Quran don't really makes sense as it is a test from Allah to c if u will follow it. When yk that Islam is the truth, u try ur best to follow it to the T. Islam has a moral code to follow by. If there wasn't, then we would be making up our morals as we go. Being a good person doesn't have the same meaning for everyone. Vegans think that meat eaters r butchers and that animals shouldn't be killed for food. Hope that clarifies.
You shouldn't interpret Islamic rules according to your own whims and desires. You will inevitably fall into mistakes.

@@khoyrulislam yes you should if you follow any religion word for word your a bellend simple as that

Very nice to see loz like this I feel like that’s the best way to look at life Brian still sees the world as very black and white and sticks to his beliefs from a young age where as loz is actually really matured and opened his eyes to see how life really is a lot more fulfilling when you embrace culture and religion
