FULL AUDIO | Stephen Fry - The Origins Podcast 

As soon as I want intellectual conversation I type in Stephen Fry - uplifting and of great Witt, thank you Stephen Fry I love you as you keep me from madness in these times. Keep well.

I can listen to Stephen all day long. He's a treasure for the world. He knows how to get to the truth of matters and expertly describes situations to highlight what's really going on.

Sometimes when I think the world is a harsh place where the evil outweighs the good, I remember Stephen Fry's out there, so it can't all be bad. Not even kidding here, this is an actual thought that I've had more than once.

I hope Stephen Fry knows how dearly he is held in the hearts of English people. 💕

Five years - still all too current - I have been gripped by the callous claws of Leukaemia, drenched by the downpour of subsequent suffering that follows a precarious Stem-Cell Transplant, and still plagued by a healthy dose of these chronic debilitations... Beyond the devotion of supporting loved ones and the saintly NHS, my hope and salvation were found in the writings, and in the lectures of these two venerable gentlemen - as well as the late, great and irreplaceable Christopher Hitchens. So a profound and heartfelt thank you from me.

Stephen is THE voice. Just the ultimate voice for anything. There's so much content within. A beautiful mind with a fantastic voice. Thanks, both of you.

Stephen Fry is the most brilliant & beautiful human beings on this planet. Love & Blessings to you all.

Thank you for hosting Stephen Fry, as he is my idol; and thank you Stephen Fry for accepting this podcast invitation. This was a true delight.

stephen is an absolute national treasure, he is sooo highly respected!

The only voice in the universe that has remained intellectually sound and gentle 🦋💙🦋

Thank you Lawrence and Stephen!

Stephen Fry is one hell of an amazing human!!

it says Stephen Fry in the title; I'm listening.

What an absolute pleasure. I always want to sit across from Stephen and just say, 'Teach me.'

That was probably the best conversation I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.

Stephen Fry and Laurence Krauss on the same podcast - I'm in heaven :-)

Loved the wide range of this conversation. They did not flog each subject to death. Made some great points. Left you wanting more.

Thank you for sharing this exchange. It' s always a pleasure to hear Stephen's input, whatever the topic may be.

He’s a British GENIUS, he should be a world leader.......what a better world we would have.

Beautiful conversation 🙂

I've had this on my watch later list for months already, and now I've finally gone through it. Pretty neat stuff, loved it. No regrets, other than not having realized I needed to try to be in the mental state that allowed me to pause for 2 hours to listen to this earlier than now

Stephen Fry♥, genius in so many ways♥. We bought many audiobooks because he reads them (liking the story or author was enuf), he is amazing

Thank you, both, so very much.

Thank you for uploading this.

Excellent listen as expected from Lawrence and Fry:-)

Thank you, Sir!

Go Stephen, always a good listen stay safe. 🙂

the moral of the story is to be a Prometheus, be remembered as the good bloke

Wonder why it took the youtube algorithm so long to inform me of Lawrence Krauss podcast. Happy it finally came across my screen.

Immensely grateful for this episode, a spark of brightness in a world of, what it seems like, infinite darkness.

Stephen fry is a treasure, we are all so lucky to watch his relaxing manner covers all that needs to be said, that beautiful body language so fliud and true. We are so comforted by his voice, his choice of words, his endless knowledge and that rich spoken word which enchants and hypnotised us like watching the fire 🔥 with its warmth and bright glazing and its enchanting crackling noise of the wood while sat in a 1500th century pub in middle England, with the dark approaching outside in the woods with the elm and willow, faces come out, but he brings us back to the warmth of the fire.

Love the content. Hate the ads every 60 seconds!

RU-vid premium is worth the cost to enjoy this type of conversation and avoid the preponderance of advertisement which I can see from the comments has rather spoiled it for lots of people.

all these beautiful commercials get interrupted by this occasional chatter of these two dudes

Wow ! U guys are the jewels of hope midst this chaos around the world.

2 hours of absolute bliss :-)

I love this. Stephen fry, you're truly a national treasure.

A Very beautiful Episode, I feel i am in awe of Stephen as much as you Lawrence .. lol I could listen to this man talk for ever. My favourite quote from him is "We have lost the ability to entertain thoughts, gracefully."

Thank you!

I don't know if things have changed but there were no adverts when I listened to it. Very enjoyable.

Thank you x

I love Stephen Fry, he's like every straight guys favorite gay guy hahaha. I like Sandi Toksvig but QI is very lackluster without him. Sometimes in life, it takes other people to tell you something they notice about you, and i know he has manic depression, but he has got a great spirit, a really strong presence in the world and he'll be remembered for a very long time. I loved QI, and i stopped watching it after he left. He was brilliant in Blackadder, one of the best characters I've ever seen and i think apart from shows, he should be in more films. And he's a big fan of Oscar Wilde who's from Dublin, my town...The quality of my life improves just knowing about Stephen Fry

So much fun! Among other points I will never feel guilty again for being a conservative with progressive values, being a lover of (some) poetry, having been a geeky teenager trying to teach himself Greek, loving church without believing in any of it, and for being a middle-aged man relearning with joy the Calculus and classical mechanics. All that was missed was a discussion of Baseball and Cricket.

My Father once told me that i think to much, i spent a lot of my life thinking about that and stll do. Who am i, how did i get here how did here get here??? I realised that thinking is the whole point of being who i am, otherwise i would'nt be me. I am what i do and i do what i am.

Got goosebumps at 1:20:45. Love you Stephen, thank you.

Everytime an artist make something social and intelligent it has artistic integrity. That only possible in a created universe.

Oh how I hate Stephen constantly interrupting the ads.

The host needs to let the speakers speak, we come to listen to Stephen Fry.

@ 06:15 they talk about Stephen’s own boarding school experience v the Potter one. I didn’t, like most people go to a boarding school. I learnt about boarding schools long before Harry Potter. I used to read the Enid Blyton, Mallory Towers books as a child. They also leave by train to their school in a castle, set on the Cornish coast. It gave reading the Potter books a feeling of homecoming after a very long holiday.

Truly a light I'm the darkness

To all these people complaining about ads. Do you want everything for free? Get youtube premium if you don't like the ads. On a local level I wonder how many complaining about the ads are in the UK and they also complain about BBC licence fee.

Great listen. Stephen if you are reading these comments please put your Mythos Stage Tour on DVD/BluRay please. :)

yes. just yes.

Never clicked so fast in my life!

Thank you very much for the great episode @prof. Krauss and stephen fry!

Beautiful

Loved it. Thank you!

what an stupendous human being and purveyor of aural delight 👏 bravo.. balisimo...

Amazing person...

Reading the comments and feeling very grateful I installed an AdBlocker today!

Lawrence, seems like the Israel bit was truncated. Any chance of hearing or reading the rest? Thanks.

Stephen Fry ❤️👏🏻

10:36 HOORAY! See you in two hours!!

Wonderful impression of Gaybo, no doubt he's smiling "down"

That was beautiful....

I've noticed that since the coronavirus quarantine, ads and commercials have increased ten-fold, everywhere, but especially on RU-vid sites. Because now, they have a more captive audience. What slimy grifters they are.

An ad before Stephen even starts talking. Did you want people to turn off quickly?

The frequency of advertisements really spoilt this experience for me

Superb chat. Would love to try and convince Fry against the House of Lords and the Monarchy some day. Everybody loves a challenge right?

EXTRAORDINARY is the word I would use to describe him.

Love these discussions but maybe one too many ads :)

Yep, I would listen to him read the phone book.

How about uploading the video here, please?

Will the full podcast with video be shared as well?

Good quality can mostly be measured in low amount of Views on youtube.

When was this recorded? During covid?

Lawrence, you are a brilliant man but please let your guests finish their thoughts. They are your guests:):)

This is a lesson in ‘How To Speak like Stephen Fry’(Fryspeak). Stephen has a vast vocabulary but he cannot resist bunging in a load of facts whenever he talks while inserting a totally unnecessary amount of nouns into a conversation. I spotted ‘Fryspeak’ and until I had therapy, was accused of having mild symptoms of ‘Fryspeak ‘ myself. Once you spot someone ‘Fryspeaking’, you will chuckle. He is the type of thing he does. This is a lesson in ‘How To Speak Fry’ or ‘Fryspeak’ for Beginners’ FRY: I woke up this morning, from my slumber, quiescent doze, dormancy or sleep in my bedroom, chamber and decided to go to the shop, store, mini-market or indeed boutique. The shop owner, marketer nee purveyor of this fine establishment, emporium, a veritable cabinet of curiosity, a Wunderkammer which can be seen, or observed, at Pitt River’s museum, and I looked or perused at the goods, items from China-China, of course, invented gun powder and fireworks which Guy Fawkes used in an attempt to blow up parliament and writing, although the writing has been cited to Dispilio Tablet (Greece) and Tărtăria tablets (Romania) and I noticed the time- from the sexagesimal system of time measurement dates to approximately 2000 bc from the Sumerians. I then... ME : ( Interrupting ) Stephen, Did you remember the teabags which is why you went to the shop in the first place? FRY: Oh, no I forgot...oh bollocks......... ... gonads, testes, pudenda, balls, and prairie oysters etc... (FADE )...... cojones , nuts, goolies knackers, cullions....

What a find! Wonderful. BUT THE NUMBER OF AD'S!!!😤😤😤😤😤😤

i got a lot out of this exchange .... and i see blindness in both SF and LK ..... which suggests mine own

People with great minds are always a benefit to the listeners. Richard Dawkins always appealed in this way. Long live the RU-vid.

A fabulously intriguing conversation by two sometimes playfully dwarfian giants! I think that it all depends on the result, whether science, religion, atheism, yada, yada. All tools for the journey of each and every individual. I do not know if Mr. Fry was ever a Christian but I understand that the hypocrisy of doctrine and dogma set him on a different path. Mr. Krauss found his journey through the more complicated path of quantum physics and all kinds of science. I don't agree with everything that their journeys concluded but I hope that they haven't yet reache the peak of their climb. In the end, I believe it's about how any belief effects how one interacts with life. But then again without the twisties of dogma and doctrine, war, plague, suffering, etc., how would we gauge all the good. The world continues to spiral in every direction and the controversial and hypocritical nature of everything is beautiful in its entirety. I paddle board and have reaally good balance. I can jump high off of the backs of whales and grasp up at the stars. But if it's too slippery and I fall, there is another underworld of discovery waiting for me in the depths of the indigo.

I'm all about spinners eh😂😱☘

Brilliant podcast but gawd too many ads :/

The adds make the 1st half very broken and hard to lose your self in conversation!

The amount of ads is simply ridiculous. What were you thinking...

Dr. Krauss, I beg of you-- *please* stop talking over and interrupting the mellifluous Mr. Fry!

Stephen fry is my intellectual crack. Closely followed by professor Brian Cox.

What's the extra 10 to 11 seconds?

I would love to listen to this but the sheer volume of adverts....it’s a 2 hour podcast and I’m just can’t sit with my device to click through every few minutes...oh well.

hear, hear

Impossible to listen to with all the Ads.

He's a jewel in English Jewel

Yes that Conan Doyle guy is a lucky stiff

If universe is social it's certain to produce a God

I'm reminded of the great pistachio shortage of 1634, when Edward De Bullwinckle shot his wife's rabbit.

too many adds, christ almighty

If you know evolution it just makes you a baby doctor. That is the intelligent design.

Lol how could he see us from his ivory tower? Constructional monarchy has a complacency aspect to it. Let’s push for better Fry. I was mistaken that he as a humanist.
