Thank you for compiling these interviews for our delectation! 👍🏻 Christopher, you're missed and the world is a more sad and sorry affair without your indelible presence x Chris (UK).
Am I the only one who thinks Charlie Rose is a bit annoying? He interupts a lot, sometimes to ask a question, sometimes to clarify something. Nothing wrong with the intent, be he speaks over Hitchens and others.
its annoying cause its cold hearted nazi ideology Charlie is tryna push while tryna set traps lost souls in his audience. and forgive me if I'm wrong but Charlie might be doing this consciously or sub consciously. either way jts annoying for the same reason
@@jeffteahan2774Yes . I had forgotten what he was like . It keeps the conversation intense , but disjointed . I know he interviewed many great people in this era , and I watched many of them . But in hindsight he does not look as smart as he thinks he is .
I know I am not going to live forever and neither are you, but until my furlough here on earth is revoked, I shall elbow aside the established pieties and raise my tumbler 🥃 of Johnnie Walker Black in honor of the brilliant intellect that was/is my hero Christopher Hitchens, his works and wisdom ensures his immortality, and I miss him tremendously. 💐
It’s so great to see my two hero’s Hitchens and Rose (not so much anymore after his disgrace). I loved watching Charlie doing his best in wrangling Christopher’s intelligence
So I’m listening to this in the dark before bed…. And good grief Rose is annoying. Almost every time Hitch is making a point (at least with the starting segment), this twit interrupts and doesn’t let him finish by pretending as if he knows where he’s going and trying to finish his sentences (he rarely does). I hope he gets better in the latter interviews (I seem to remember he does with others, but that first one is dreadful). Anyway, great job putting this together.
I'm 3 Minutes Into This Video, And Christopher Has Yet To Complete A Sentence Without Being Either Spoken Over By, Or Being Completely Interrupted By Rose. What An Insufferably Unprofessional Host(!!) 😖.
I was about to write "if Charlie Rose was around today everyone would be complaining incessantly about his interrupting" but then read the top comments. Honestly, get over it, this is what an impassioned conversation sounds like and guarantee your private ones sound no different. I know the autistic internet goblins would love nothing more than for every show to have a talking pillow.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more damning comment about someone than to say they have an obsessive need to be liked mixed with an unscrupulousness. Poetic description. I’ve also never seen Charlie Rose so disappointed in himself when his own point sputtered out and died on the coffee table. What was Charlie thinking? I wondered if he actually thought Christopher was going to rescue him from his implosion. Sadly, that was pure self castration and ego took him there.
Charlie Rose is the antithesis of Joe Rogan. He ceaselessly interrupts guests who are far more interesting than he is. Rogan is a great listener and lets his guests develop their ideas.
Can you begin to imagine how glorious a 3 hour JRE podcast with Christopher Hitchens would be, the two of them drinking whiskey and discussing every aspect of life no matter how minute, all amidst a cloud of smoke.
