This is the most engaging episode of your show that I have yet listened to. Thank you both, I really enjoyed this, and it's that rare thing: a podcast that I'm going to listen to more than once.
I came here after watching Rory was 'interviewed' by Alex O'Conor. It is extraordinary that Chris got more than eight words in. Rory is brilliant!!! I love hearing him speak. I wonder if he is bored out of his skyll by not being able to have these intense conversations every week. Bloody good show.
That tangentialism is his brain doing creative rubiks cube, generating lots of threads and ideas which can become chaos if someone doesn't keep track and rewind a couple of steps and finish off the loop.
Yeah he was talking about CEO talking about big topic like GDP and interest rate and suddenly he talks about police and guns and suddenly he talked about a toilet. Like dude go back to the CEO thing 😂
Rory is clearly a very intelligent guy but I’ve actually had to turn the podcast off with 45 minutes left to go. He won’t even let Chris finish a question that he’s posing and completely cuts him off each time. I’m sure it’s not intentional and purely down to enthusiasm but have some self awareness in a 2 way conversation. Shame it kinda ruined this podcast episode
Rory Sutherland sits alone at the barycenter of wit & wisdom. The gravitas of his pragmatism and sound reasoning is eclipsed only by his gregarious charm and disarming mirth. Thank you, Chris for having the humility to simply listen and allow this man to fire on all cylinders.44
I find he's a terrible communicator, he interrupts constantly, doesn't listen and speaks down to Chris. He also consistently turns it around and makes it about himself.
@@mariolongtin8271weirdly though, I don’t mind when he interrupts, because it doesn’t feel malicious it just seems like he’s so excited to share something he’s going to burst, plus he has ADD or ADHD so it makes sense his mannerisms
@joethomas9926 Yeah, that also makes a lot of sense! I get the "I'm better than you, I'm the master, now listen to me vibes." I could be off. Nonetheless, he is definitely intelligent.
Instead of usually his talents for psychology and the human good, he used it to make money for corporations that’s what I don’t like. Marketing and advertising is probably the most disgusting career in the world.
Rory Sutherland is one of my favorite people since his amazing TED talks years ago when TED was still good. He has unconventional and fascinating ideas
If Hormozi is the angel sitting on one of my shoulders, then Rory is the devil sitting on the other. What a wonderfully, lovably, distractible man. No matter where the story goes it will be interesting, insightful, and hilarious. Absolute legend.
First time I’m hearing of this Rory chap, complete gem. What a great and interesting conversation. Well done letting him run, the way you threaded this conversation was great.
Reminds me of my old boss. Fascinating stories, insights and delightful mischievous humour in his delivery. A new guest at my imaginary dinner party. Great podcast 👍🏼😄
This interview was so effin good. Rory is an incredible mind and one of, if not the most, insightful + humourous conversationalists in the Anglo world right now. Kudos Mr. Williamson 👏👏
This dude is fractal! Every single answer contains an anecdote that contains another answer which has anecdote in it …. Self similar for 3 hours and brilliant.
Watching Chris try to keep up with ADHD pinballing is almost as much fun as the pinballing itself 😆 By the end he really nails it, though. It's quite a skill to be able to catherd the bees in the head into a coherent interview 🤩
47:40 I found my engagement ring. Fell in love with it. It was at Costco. It may be gone the next time we were there. I called my fiance and bought it on the spot. It was 1/4 of his monthly income. I love the ring still today, 16 years later.
I love watching Rory being interviewed. He's the perfect interviewee - has very interesting things to say, is erudite and humorous, and doesn't let the interviewer finish a sentence 😆
You have one of the best shows on the internet, Chris! Thanks for my first exposure to Rory Sutherland. He's very smart and nice but exhausting to listen to!
Alex Oconnor just interviewed Rory and im so sorry i missed this podcast because he is just incredibly full of usable information while also being hilarious. This is how a good salesperson operates, and Rory is very very good. Its nice to hear a full throated case for Georgism from a conservative. Phenomenal guest, shame i missed him months ago.
For anyone wondering: Trim tabs are smaller control surfaces connected to large control surfaces. I'll use the example of the elevator on a plane that controls the nose-up/nose-down attitude of the plane. Say the plane's controls are slightly uncalibrated, or there's particularly windy or whatever conditions when youre flying, and your plane constantly sort of wants to go nose-up. In that case you have to CONSTANTLY apply the elevator down control, which gets annoying, tiring, and limits your full range of control. So you adjust the trim tab on your elevator so that the plane flys level without you having to do any input. I'd sort of make a parallel with zeroing in the rifle at a certain distance you're shooting at that day so you don't have to manually adjust for elevation every shot you take.
The sound guys must have had the most strenuous time editing Rorys audio from all the left-and-right body swinging he does 10 times per second (bless the man), the audio balance is just non existent and threshold is all over the place. My god, i love it. He talks with his body movement with equal vigor and speed if not greater than his mind can form sentences. Give your audio guys a raise, Chris, the sweat from editing this podcast is palpable. Love the pod ❤
Holy mackerel in a sackerel of quackerel, what an incredible two hours of rich conversation. I'm honestly floored, my normal ability to leave an incisive remark is just clapped-out! It would maybe take me an hour to re-skim through the episode and compile all the great moments I have something to say about, and that's a treasured feeling. Who is this Rory Sutherland and how have I not encountered him before?
It depends if you like the subject or just want to succeed. If you don't like his stories then he can be extremely boring. And you can hate being there and loathe the sound of their voice. Speaking from experience.
This guy is the reason I started vaping instead of smoking. Had been smoking for 20 years, and saw this guy on the show. Chris started talking to him about vaping. Rory said it is a much better way to get nicotine on a variety of levels. I tried it out because of his glowing review. Coincidentally, I breathe much better now. I can run for the first time in my life. Chris, your show is making my life better. Thanks, you are a real hero.
Same, I’m now using nicotine pouches to quit vaping. Tried patches and gum but didn’t do it for me. Now I’m steadily lowering the amount of pouches by spacing out the time between use. Used to be 1 hour now it’s 4. I can feel the improvement in my lungs already and it’s only been 2 weeks
Wow, dude! That is really rad! Personally, I like what nicotine does to me, so I don't want to quit. But not inhaling burning plants and industrial chemicals every day made a HUGE difference in my health. I recommend it to every smoker I know.
The only chap who doesn't irritate when he interrupts, it's always fascinating and engaging without fail, what a mind. ADHD + extremely high IQ is a lethal combo
Great episode, but the chap relentlessly goes off on tangents and interrupts you at every chance. He is well intentioned but conducting that interview must have been like herding cats. 😂
I got married in 2011. I am telling you. I absolutely feel like I caught the last helicopter out of Saigon. That is such an apt way to put that. I have been looking for the words forever. ROFL.
100%. NFI where i'd even start with the mess that is the dating scene these days. I wrote my wife a letter ffs. The way it's done now seems so freaking toxic.
Going to read (rather listen) to all of his books on audible! Used to be in advertising wish I had had a boss like him! He has such a wealth of knowledge!
This has to be one of the most engaging conversation.. Esp. use of language, storytelling, complimentary skills of both Chris & Rory and sheer energy that's put in here. Worth the time. Almost at par with James Sexton Podcast with Lex. Notwithstanding the fact that there are 0 takeaways and totally misleading thumbnail.
1:35:37 🎉I LOVE that you pointed out that old tv interview of folks here in the U.S. griping about not being allowed to drink and drive! There’s similar one where people are griping about wearing seatbelts in the front seat!😅 Also, I laughed so hard at “NOTHING in America is beyond being drive through-able.” 😂 SO TRUE! And even here in Ohio we have drive thru weed dispensaries. I love this interview.
Rory is an original thinker - merges persuasion, behavioral econ, open minded to arrive at interesting and original observations - and takes himself not too seriously, so fun to watch and learn.
Love how chris kept his ground ❤️ but also this is a great Rory interview! Saw him 10 years ago, and he's adapted how he shares he's view on current topics
Subscribed because of this interview. Absolutely brilliant 😂 I went from being annoyed by Rory’s interruptions to being distracted by them. Masterful interview and patience. Fair play to you.
Properly enjoyed this chat that seemingly went all over the place but in the best possible way. Rory constantly had me asking questions and made me feel optimistic about attempting to answer anything. Chris did a brilliant job shepherding the conversation to ensure we rounded off some great topics. Cheers!
I have never seen this show, but I'll say that chris seemed super interested and was a good interviewer, he let his guest speak. In regards to the USA and Canada, i am not sure everyone wants to live in suburbia and spend hours in cars, they just can't all afford to move to NY, SF or Boston, etc or even Vancouver, Toronto etc. Some do, others will never trade a big city with transportation for an isolated car status culture. In NY status is about what you do, not your job nor your car, but what you do as fulltime passion which may or may not be what pays the bills.
Entertaining listen as always, but am I the only one who feels like Chris was being constantly interrupted? The time talking already felt solidly 95/5 in Rory's favor, and Chris barely gets to introduce a concept or thought before he is interrupted and its back to the Rory show? I appreciate the enthusiasm, but in my humble opinion, this was close to being out of line at times.
Could you please invite Youscha Mount to your next podcast? He critiques wokeism in the most loving and nuanced way I've ever come across. I believe you'd be the perfect podcast to host him.
Even Chris has no chance against the ramblings of this man. 🤣The tangents are rife with gold though. Even I could host a fabulous podcast episode with Rory - just give the man a mic and sit back!
I liked when he would go off topic and just riff- but you seemed to want him to stay very focused but brillliant people often see connections in things and share them. So bright my brain was electrified following him! OMG HIS GEMS...one of them on Austin "I can get great coffee by people with wonderful body art. But in afternoon I can drive to the desert and fire machine guns at oil drums..."
Such a fascinating and interesting man, but I listened to him incrementally as I found him exhausting. He has a most mercurial mind though prone to many non sequiturs. His mind overwhelms his mouth.
It's quite unfortunate that I've never heard of Rory. This episode was absolutely amazing. And and so so much fun!!! He is not only knowledgeable, but has an incredible sense of humour. 🧐🧐🧡🧡 I'll be researching more about him for sure!!🧐🧐

He even interrupts himself 😅
I came here after watching Rory was 'interviewed' by Alex O'Conor. It is extraordinary that Chris got more than eight words in.
Rory is brilliant!!! I love hearing him speak. I wonder if he is bored out of his skyll by not being able to have these intense conversations every week.
Bloody good show.
same
I love/hate when Rory goes off topic, and I love/hate when Chris makes him comeback kto topic. These two balance each other beautifully
That tangentialism is his brain doing creative rubiks cube, generating lots of threads and ideas which can become chaos if someone doesn't keep track and rewind a couple of steps and finish off the loop.
His time would be cut in half if he omitted the frequent use of "OK."
Rory’s brain has too many tabs open
Yeah he was talking about CEO talking about big topic like GDP and interest rate and suddenly he talks about police and guns and suddenly he talked about a toilet. Like dude go back to the CEO thing 😂
Or maybe not enough…
Rory seems to be the most well-intentioned habitual interrupter I’ve witnessed.
He just can't help himself, the interesting tidbits NEED to come out immediately....
He's clearly very intelligent and well-versed but he needs to realize a conversation is between 2 people
His own thoughts are continually interrupting his own speech. So it's not personal or something to be done only to other people.
Rory is clearly a very intelligent guy but I’ve actually had to turn the podcast off with 45 minutes left to go. He won’t even let Chris finish a question that he’s posing and completely cuts him off each time. I’m sure it’s not intentional and purely down to enthusiasm but have some self awareness in a 2 way conversation. Shame it kinda ruined this podcast episode
@@garydragoWho you could just accept him for who he is. If you don't like it, don't listen to him again. I think he's brilliant despite this flaw.
As someone with ADHD, it's an absolute pleasure to listen to Rory - my mind works the same way (but certainly not as brilliantly!!)
Agreed. He is captivating for the tangential mind, while still getting to the point in the very end at last.
adhd is not real.
Perhaps he is an adhdr too
the both, utterly perfect
I could literally listen to Rory talk all day.
I don't think you'll have a choice
You’d have to.
There’s plenty of Rory on CZcams so you can!
I think he'd be fine with that 😂
So could Rory😂
Rory Sutherland sits alone at the barycenter of wit & wisdom. The gravitas of his pragmatism and sound reasoning is eclipsed only by his gregarious charm and disarming mirth. Thank you, Chris for having the humility to simply listen and allow this man to fire on all cylinders.44
Chris is dying in this conversation,he cant get a word in😂
Rory is one of my favorite guests ever. He’s a fantastic communicator and extremely intelligent. Pure Valuetament.
I find he's a terrible communicator, he interrupts constantly, doesn't listen and speaks down to Chris. He also consistently turns it around and makes it about himself.
@@mariolongtin8271weirdly though, I don’t mind when he interrupts, because it doesn’t feel malicious it just seems like he’s so excited to share something he’s going to burst, plus he has ADD or ADHD so it makes sense his mannerisms

I love Rory too! I’d never heard of him before this podcast, but he’s one of the most charismatic people I think I’ve ever seen.
Instead of usually his talents for psychology and the human good, he used it to make money for corporations that’s what I don’t like. Marketing and advertising is probably the most disgusting career in the world.

If Hormozi is the angel sitting on one of my shoulders, then Rory is the devil sitting on the other. What a wonderfully, lovably, distractible man. No matter where the story goes it will be interesting, insightful, and hilarious. Absolute legend.
Interesting, it's the other way around IMO
First time I’m hearing of this Rory chap, complete gem. What a great and interesting conversation. Well done letting him run, the way you threaded this conversation was great.
See his 10+ year old ted talk about diamond shreddies. Hilarious as hell.
Great guy. Many of his interviews and podcasts are on BBC sounds app.
Rory cracks me up. 😂 He knows stuff about everything! Can’t wait for you to have him back.
I want him on my trivia team 😂
Mr. Sutherland bears a strong resemblance to Miriam Margolyes. A total delight to listen to. His relationship to comedy and comedians is fascinating.
Reminds me of my old boss. Fascinating stories, insights and delightful mischievous humour in his delivery. A new guest at my imaginary dinner party. Great podcast 👍🏼😄
This interview was so effin good. Rory is an incredible mind and one of, if not the most, insightful + humourous conversationalists in the Anglo world right now. Kudos Mr. Williamson 👏👏
This dude is fractal! Every single answer contains an anecdote that contains another answer which has anecdote in it …. Self similar for 3 hours and brilliant.
And a return question which he then answers himself.
Watching Chris try to keep up with ADHD pinballing is almost as much fun as the pinballing itself 😆 By the end he really nails it, though. It's quite a skill to be able to catherd the bees in the head into a coherent interview 🤩
I struggle to stay focused on podcasts but Rory always keeps me engaged
Bumped into Rory at Heathrow and was listening to his last appearance on MW at that exact moment. Great interaction with him in the departures lounge
Greetings again!
And you still made the flight? 😂 Just kidding
I’ll stop talking about dating cause my wife will be watching this 😂
Talk about money instead when a woman you're married to is around. When she's gone, go back to talking about women :)
Is that what you do with your Waifu? @@devilsoffspring5519
Never stopped him before ……
Never let your wife stop you from finding your true love 🥹🤧🥲
Rory is fantastic. I've been following him for years. It was so fun watching you two specifically together. Great show!
As a Welsh PhD student studying Identity, phenomenology and minoritized language, I’m ecstatic at that Welsh reference :)
Tidy!
Chris, congrats on your patience and respectfulness, admirable.
This guy is out of control and I love it.
Any chance of Chris getting a word in edge ways? 😂
With Rory? No, not really. I quite love him though, even if he won’t shut up sometimes!
He is interviewing Rory. I hate it when hosts on podcasts constantly chime in, much like Rogan
meh we’ve heard him blather enough this was informative
47:40 I found my engagement ring. Fell in love with it. It was at Costco. It may be gone the next time we were there. I called my fiance and bought it on the spot. It was 1/4 of his monthly income. I love the ring still today, 16 years later.
I've listened to all interruptions on spotify, so now i'm here to check them in video
I love watching Rory being interviewed. He's the perfect interviewee - has very interesting things to say, is erudite and humorous, and doesn't let the interviewer finish a sentence 😆
You have one of the best shows on the internet, Chris! Thanks for my first exposure to Rory Sutherland. He's very smart and nice but exhausting to listen to!

This is how a good salesperson operates, and Rory is very very good. Its nice to hear a full throated case for Georgism from a conservative. Phenomenal guest, shame i missed him months ago.
Always enjoy listening to Rory, esp when he goes off on a tangent. Great communicator & observer of things oft ignored
agree, but also a terrible listener😂
His opinions on Peterson is 100% correct. Absolutely spot on.
For anyone wondering:
Trim tabs are smaller control surfaces connected to large control surfaces. I'll use the example of the elevator on a plane that controls the nose-up/nose-down attitude of the plane.
Say the plane's controls are slightly uncalibrated, or there's particularly windy or whatever conditions when youre flying, and your plane constantly sort of wants to go nose-up. In that case you have to CONSTANTLY apply the elevator down control, which gets annoying, tiring, and limits your full range of control.

I'd sort of make a parallel with zeroing in the rifle at a certain distance you're shooting at that day so you don't have to manually adjust for elevation every shot you take.
This guy is awesome. Thanks for bringing him to us Chris.
What a pleasing accent Rory Sutherland has - will be no problem to listen to him whatever he has to say! 🙂
He was made for advertising. His charisma is off the charts and his approach appears genuine.
Love seeing a rory episode pop up because you know it will be a solid 2h+ if not solely for the reason that he can't shut up
What a character, Red suspenders +50 points. Rory should be in museum glass labeled “British Stereotype.”
I love listening to Rory and will be thinking about his idea for a long time but I wince every time he interrupts.
Going off on a tangent, brilliantly, for more than two hours. So much for short-form content being king.
Rory Sutherland gives wisdom. I wonder if it sinks in.
The sound guys must have had the most strenuous time editing Rorys audio from all the left-and-right body swinging he does 10 times per second (bless the man), the audio balance is just non existent and threshold is all over the place. My god, i love it. He talks with his body movement with equal vigor and speed if not greater than his mind can form sentences. Give your audio guys a raise, Chris, the sweat from editing this podcast is palpable. Love the pod ❤
Holy mackerel in a sackerel of quackerel, what an incredible two hours of rich conversation. I'm honestly floored, my normal ability to leave an incisive remark is just clapped-out! It would maybe take me an hour to re-skim through the episode and compile all the great moments I have something to say about, and that's a treasured feeling. Who is this Rory Sutherland and how have I not encountered him before?
I am so exited to watch Rory and Chris ! You guys are legends! Watching from South Africa ! 🇿🇦
I love Rory, could listen to him all day but God I wish he’d just let Chris finish a single sentence but butting in.
If this man was my teacher or professor in school. I'd never fail a class his passion will become my passion 😤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreed
It depends if you like the subject or just want to succeed.
If you don't like his stories then he can be extremely boring. And you can hate being there and loathe the sound of their voice.
Speaking from experience.
This guy is the reason I started vaping instead of smoking.
Had been smoking for 20 years, and saw this guy on the show.
Chris started talking to him about vaping. Rory said it is a much better way to get nicotine on a variety of levels.
I tried it out because of his glowing review.
Coincidentally, I breathe much better now. I can run for the first time in my life.
Chris, your show is making my life better.
Thanks, you are a real hero.
Same, I’m now using nicotine pouches to quit vaping. Tried patches and gum but didn’t do it for me. Now I’m steadily lowering the amount of pouches by spacing out the time between use. Used to be 1 hour now it’s 4. I can feel the improvement in my lungs already and it’s only been 2 weeks
Wow, dude! That is really rad!
Personally, I like what nicotine does to me, so I don't want to quit.
But not inhaling burning plants and industrial chemicals every day made a HUGE difference in my health.
I recommend it to every smoker I know.
The only chap who doesn't irritate when he interrupts, it's always fascinating and engaging without fail, what a mind. ADHD + extremely high IQ is a lethal combo
Chris has incredible patience lol
Great episode, but the chap relentlessly goes off on tangents and interrupts you at every chance. He is well intentioned but conducting that interview must have been like herding cats. 😂
People with ADHD thinks like he speaks.
So if you have ADHD what you wrote is not even noticed.
I got married in 2011. I am telling you. I absolutely feel like I caught the last helicopter out of Saigon.
That is such an apt way to put that.
I have been looking for the words forever.
ROFL.
100%. NFI where i'd even start with the mess that is the dating scene these days. I wrote my wife a letter ffs. The way it's done now seems so freaking toxic.
Yeah. Dating is in insane nightmare now.
Going to read (rather listen) to all of his books on audible! Used to be in advertising wish I had had a boss like him! He has such a wealth of knowledge!
Rory is a gem. Could listen to him all day. Brilliant
He cracks me up 😂but Chris can’t word in … 🙈😂!!
I could listen to Rory all day. Entertaining and informative. There aren't many people pull that off as well as he does. That was great!
This guy is a bloody legend
This is the first time that I've noticed Chris seeming bored multiple times during the interview.
Think he was frustrated from getting cut off every time he tried to speak lol.
This guy is a genius and too funny. 👏 😂 Could listen to him ramble on all day
Rory is great and has introduced me to a whole new way of looking at the world!. His audio book is great!
“My brother’s an astrophysicist, he’s shit at chess” 🤣
As usual fantastic conversation, but for fuck sake don't give this man caffeine!! 😂
it's like hammy from over the hedge in human form.
This was both wise & hilarious! Your podcasts always brighten my day
Never a dull episode with Rory 🤟
Chris asked like 2 and 3 half questions the whole time. xD I could listen to Rory Sutherland all day.
I’ve recently watched The Lord Of The Rings. Thanks for having him on
This has to be one of the most engaging conversation.. Esp. use of language, storytelling, complimentary skills of both Chris & Rory and sheer energy that's put in here. Worth the time. Almost at par with James Sexton Podcast with Lex.
Notwithstanding the fact that there are 0 takeaways and totally misleading thumbnail.
1:35:37 🎉I LOVE that you pointed out that old tv interview of folks here in the U.S. griping about not being allowed to drink and drive! There’s similar one where people are griping about wearing seatbelts in the front seat!😅
Also, I laughed so hard at “NOTHING in America is beyond being drive through-able.” 😂
SO TRUE! And even here in Ohio we have drive thru weed dispensaries.
I love this interview.
New Orleans goes one better. You can buy cocktails at a drive-thru!
Rory is an original thinker - merges persuasion, behavioral econ, open minded to arrive at interesting and original observations - and takes himself not too seriously, so fun to watch and learn.
Love how chris kept his ground ❤️ but also this is a great Rory interview! Saw him 10 years ago, and he's adapted how he shares he's view on current topics
I have to rewatch this again and write down some of the terminolgy they use like "purity spiral" etc.
"Crackheads academy"
Subscribed because of this interview. Absolutely brilliant 😂
I went from being annoyed by Rory’s interruptions to being distracted by them. Masterful interview and patience. Fair play to you.
Loved this. 😊 This made me laugh. Reminded me of myself. Talk fast, a lot, get off topic, sprinkle in some hilarious anecdotes, voila! Lovely man.
So so SO GOOD to hear *Thomas sowell* mentioned here
Properly enjoyed this chat that seemingly went all over the place but in the best possible way. Rory constantly had me asking questions and made me feel optimistic about attempting to answer anything. Chris did a brilliant job shepherding the conversation to ensure we rounded off some great topics. Cheers!
BRILLIANT discussion, two very interesing poeple.
This is as good as a podcast gets. High level conversation. I have learned so much from this episode. Bravo 🙌🏿
I have never seen this show, but I'll say that chris seemed super interested and was a good interviewer, he let his guest speak. In regards to the USA and Canada, i am not sure everyone wants to live in suburbia and spend hours in cars, they just can't all afford to move to NY, SF or Boston, etc or even Vancouver, Toronto etc. Some do, others will never trade a big city with transportation for an isolated car status culture. In NY status is about what you do, not your job nor your car, but what you do as fulltime passion which may or may not be what pays the bills.
I want to un-like and re-like this episode again. This is how good this episode is! We need a super LIKE button here.
That was a precious chat. Thanks 🎉
This conversation was unexpectedly hilarious. Fab guest.
This man should be at every party.
Absolutely love this !! Fascinating
He’s probably one of the most well-spoken I’ve come across in a long time.
Entertaining listen as always, but am I the only one who feels like Chris was being constantly interrupted? The time talking already felt solidly 95/5 in Rory's favor, and Chris barely gets to introduce a concept or thought before he is interrupted and its back to the Rory show? I appreciate the enthusiasm, but in my humble opinion, this was close to being out of line at times.
100% agree
This episode is worth an entire degree.
Rory is peak podcasting for this show
Rory's the David Attenborough of marketing 😆
At twice the speed 😂
Could you please invite Youscha Mount to your next podcast? He critiques wokeism in the most loving and nuanced way I've ever come across. I believe you'd be the perfect podcast to host him.
I have seen Rory a while ago on a podcast. Very entertaining and at the same time highly informed. Loved the energy of this interview. ❤
Great articulator, but would prefer a more balanced conversation
Even Chris has no chance against the ramblings of this man. 🤣The tangents are rife with gold though. Even I could host a fabulous podcast episode with Rory - just give the man a mic and sit back!
Bill Hicks' bit about advertising still as relevant as ever
Every time Rory says "OK" take a shot.
Rory is next level
I liked when he would go off topic and just riff- but you seemed to want him to stay very focused but brillliant people often see connections in things and share them. So bright my brain was electrified following him! OMG HIS GEMS...one of them on Austin "I can get great coffee by people with wonderful body art. But in afternoon I can drive to the desert and fire machine guns at oil drums..."
I am the number one fan of Rory Sutherland!
Such a fascinating and interesting man, but I listened to him incrementally as I found him exhausting. He has a most mercurial mind though prone to many non sequiturs. His mind overwhelms his mouth.
No ADHD person alert. 😂❤
Fascinating AND exhausting...
It's quite unfortunate that I've never heard of Rory. This episode was absolutely amazing. And and so so much fun!!! He is not only knowledgeable, but has an incredible sense of humour. 🧐🧐🧡🧡 I'll be researching more about him for sure!!🧐🧐
