Full Interview with Steve Hughes About the Absolute State of Things 

I second the motion'

give him pot weekly 😉

Steve's great value. Amazing comic and love his deep, oddball wisdom.

Ignorance is bliss, Clarity is almost misery

@@NocentreNoborder Steve was. He's playing down his breakdown here but he disappeared for a while because of it, and I'm glad to see he's really recentred himself since.

I smell a joker reference

this is overstated

Oh, you have NO idea...

ikr, i was thinking "i wish i had the money to spend on that" when i saw it mentioned but literally next clip lined up was this one..... im shocked.

It is however stuffed with adverts every 7 minutes, how’s that Working for you?😉

Not free. Ads every 5 mins.

I got 2 ads and that’s it lol

@@Alex-m8515 i didnt get a single one, im laughing all the way to the bank.

This country has been a nanny state for... Well, I'm not old. But even as a kid, I just remember the government treating us like we're stupid and that they are our benevolent saviours, and that all authority is to not be questioned because anything else would be 'un-Australian'. It's always been like that, and it's only gotten worse for us as time goes on.

The problem is he's not a salt of the earth ocker. The real blue collar Aussies I know have no cringe about themselves. Middle class Australians cringe so much about everything Australian and the bottom line is a huge insecurity about not being true blue Aussies. They go in for this Midnight Oil romanticisation of Aboriginals, Australia-White-Genocide, archetypal psychology, 'deep work', shamanism, 'spirituality' blah blah blah.. Go to Glastonbury in the UK, go to Nimbin, every other middle aged guy with a midlife crisis knot-top will give the same very generalised '90's spirituality lectures. These people stood by and watched the people who own Australia rob the working man of their sports teams, then bring in all these penalties for everything, FLOOD - absolutely Flood Australia with Migration since 2012 - and they said, and did, Jack Sh*t. Because they weren't really "connected with the Land" in the way they pretend to be. And the people that are.. the people that work the diggers and work the scrap yards etc, poor Aussies, are 'beneath them'. THOSE people have been screaming blue murder for years now about this NWO attack and no-one was there to listen. Noone even talked to them. So hey presto the World Bank and friends bring in Covid Communism and all the 'spirituality' section of Barnes and Noble' crowd want to act wise and smart about this. Well, they were useless then. They are useless now. And still full of themselves.

@@powerbite92 Well said mate. Steve Hughes is sometimes funny, but is also massively full of shit.

@@fozzilla123 All I'm hearing is you guys like Steve but you are letting your dogmatic politics take over your person, and that's one of the biggest problems in society in 2021.

@@Hardcastle83 Wtf are you talking about? You can like someone and still think they have shit ideas or thoughts.

Your kid will never forget that day.

Good stuff brother!

Your kid will think back to that day when he is your age. These are things good parents do. You're a good parent.

Hooray

There’s a balance to be struck. Houses now have a lot of distractions now, going no tech for even a few hours can give a sense of perspective/reflection/unwinding.

Something wonderful about wearing a SOD sport in an army. At least you didn’t have a Star Wars Stormtrooper tshirt at the shooting range 😂

Haha classic. "Speak english" was so damn heavy for its time. It was so absurd you have to laugh. This was way before absurdly edgy kinda psychopathic lyrical content got trendy in Metal like 30 odd years later.. Don't really care for all the copycat metal bands that rehash these tropes, do something original ffs. Still love the old thrash bands like that who wrote stuff they knew would never really sell 💪

Becoming?

That’s what I was going to say, becoming? Where have you been?

@@tonyromano6220 I love Steve also but seriously that's like comparing Russel Brand to God. Russel is absolutely fantastic but a long way from God. Yes of course I see the irony in comparing George to God.

heh, "stand up guy".

@@cold_static ^_^

Badum tshh

Ayyyyyyy

Well… technically his sitting ;)

Is the channel monetised? Heck of a lot of adverts on it...someone makes money from this freebie. Good interview though.

@@golfbulldog Read youtubes policy mate: any video, for any reason, can be monetised, for any reason, by youtube's own discretion, and the channel/video has no right to any of the money, it is YTs discretion if they get any of it. 99.99% likelihood: YT make 100% of the money on the adverts on this, given their hatred for anything non-radical left.

@@danielseaburg9763 thanks for the details.

That's based.

@@mclatchyt Thank you for the correction.

They are not an "Anthrax band." They had no connection to Anthrax.

​@@tolpacourt No connection except 3 out of the 4 members of S.O.D. having also been in Anthrax. Don't be obtuse.

@@NoFeckingNamesLeft DING DING! We have a WINNER.

Ah, you should have!

He seems like if you sent him an email about it, he might still go for that beer. He just seems like a cool, chill kind of guy.

@@hansellius hes tee total now or so i belieive.

@@philgriffin483 Oh really? I didn't know that. I still think he'd be down for hanging out and chatting, but maybe not the beer.

He used to do a podcast years ago and there's some great stuff there too

@@cloroxusthestainlessone4324 that's great! I'll try and find it. Thanks for letting me know :)

You just found him? So lucky.

This is one of the best ten mins of stand up ever recorded IMO Steve Hughes performing in Stockholm in 2009. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u0lVbMOMTi0.html

Is it the "They fuck men" bit? Because that's an epic bit

@@garethbattersby "there's nothing gay about rhat"

@@garethbattersby Yeah haha

How about when they say “ Hey Steve you know having an earring in your left ear is gay”. And he says “ that’s weird, in Australia being gay is when your dick is in another mans ass”. Hahaha.

I’ve since as long as I can remeber thought about homophobia in that way and when I grew older I saw him do that joke. Fuck it, I could’ve been famous :)

Tony so true i live near Kings Lynn in a tiny Hamlet .....views from all of the windows of farmers fields and church spires......always been a country boy grew up in Suffolk, brought my kids up in Cornwall.......i did live in London for 3 years and it was awful .....dirty , dangerous and depressing i a bed sit in the attic ...watching fights outside the kebab shop.....never again .... There is a disused medieval church half a mile from me i often go there to ground myself if im stressed out ....

@@HUMPTYNUGGET I hated London and refuse to go there. But it does feel like there is a cosmic connection between us, nature and the universe, that we are abusing by living in these big cities, separated from nature, packed together and behaving like good little drones. We've managed to remove the social aspect of society by doing it. I honestly think that it's this disconnection that leads to so much violence and rage. We have trapped ourselves in cages that we call cities, we live on top of each other but may as well be in solitary confinement for all the connection we have with each other. Our food is brought to us in little packages, by people we don't know or care about. We're not supposed to live like that. It's small wonder that drink, drugs and sex provide a substitute for the things that we've deprived ourselves of. Excitement, escape and connection with another person.

@@tonyhudson8235 indeed ...where i lve there is a church roughly every 4 miles, i live in an old farm workers cottage where there were so many people required to cultivate and harvest the crops the vast majority of the pèople worked on the land and, then came the industrial revolution and everyone left the fields to work in inhumane factories, a living hell with up to 10 members of one family sharing a room no running water etc

@@HUMPTYNUGGET Maybe we do need a Great Reset. Reset back to the 1900s lol It wouldn't be so bad. Let the rich folk have their luxuries and live shoulder to shoulder with people they don't know or care about. I'll happy just strumming my guitar, growing my own food, trading with others and playing at the local pub for a few pints.

@@tonyhudson8235 sounds like a good life mate.....thats how it was in the old days......i stumbled across the old Jack Hargreaves telly series on the old ways of the countryside from the late 70s and early 80s on youtube last week , been binge watching them all ...well worth a look pal.

Sounds a bit like what I do during my "no phone" walks. I go out for an hour or two just walking, thinking and looking at interesting stuff.

I did ten years on night shift at morrisons .....but it suited me as im a night owl..... I also have ptsd from military service and what you are describing there has a name and its is called Mindfulness, its taught to help anxiety and stress and severe mental problems . You've naturaly discovered it .

Beautiful and wise.

What?

@@seanpadraigobrien1260 what “What?”?

No it wouldn't.

@@Rugmunchersauce3 oh…OK 🫡

I'm so glad they did not discuss Jim Jeffries. What's the point anyway

Ohh Jim Jeffries is a good one also.

@@nickacelvn he was he sold out to comedy Central

I thought they shared a flat in Moss Side.

I would swap jones for Eddie Bravo.

Bravo is a literal flat earther. I despise that guy.

@@alkestos despise is a bit strong don't you think?

@@matthewstone1362 to be a flat earther level of science and reality denier is equal to these people who believe men can be women. So no, it's not too much because that's how I feel.

@@der0keks why?

Like most of Kipling's stuff, it's really good. It touched me quite deeply, actually. Thanks for the recommendation.

Less DMT

@@yhyh8990 I think Steve smokes weed, or did.

One of the historical housing solutions to loneliness and lack of localised food growing was monastery and convent lifestyle...where hundreds of people would live together and praise God not each other and themselves all day...and grow a lot of their own food and alcohol and offer each other medicinal help..without a lot of artificial fertilizers.. same with the huge houses/manors/mansions/keeps and castles where everyone had a place and a purpose...we see in England and Europe...These huge places were hard to heat but easier than separate housing....the class system was unfair I admit that...about 5% or less were wealthy and had servants...and serfs...to obtain food, clothing, transport, heat from fire places etc. entertainment...etc... but the isolation and estrangement that many people feel these days...is not making a happy healthy society....Thx Steve ......I now add you to the comedians that keep life funna when the day is hard or emotionally sad...Fiona McLoughlin, Emma Holland, Hannah Gadsby, James Veitch, Danny Buoy, Dylan Moran, ...a bit of Carr, and now Steve Hughes....formerly along time ago Barry Humphries, Monty Python, Spike Milligan, bla bla...see ya

😂😂 I vaguely remember watching a hilarious yt video about this years ago, th aks for reminding me

Yeah, the hatred for shows like Friends has been ramping up slowly over time, like with one of the prime examples being this hard-on for dismissing audience reaction as some vile trick that forces you to laugh at otherwise un-creative jokes, which is just clearly untrue, unless you take into account pre-recorded laughing tracks which was NOT how Friends was filmed. It was legit in front of audiences. There is MANY examples of jokes that had to be changed on the spot because they didn't land, or jokes (like Matthew Perry's cue-tip joke) that were spontaneous strokes of genius that got arguably the best reactions. This made the show infinitely better because they had an active gauge for what worked and what didn't. There's also examples of the cast taking the piss to rile up the audience like when Matthew ran into the scene of Joey patting down Monica's chest in one of her scenes working as a chef, he runs in and starts patting on her other breast, looks around awkwardly and sprints off, and the audience loses there collective shit laughing. I've seen plenty of vids where they remove the audience reaction (also making the false claim it nothing more than a laugh track) to prove there point thinking since it wouldn't have the impact in the same way it must be true. Except the scenes are structured with the laugh tracks in mind. If they weren't the jokes would be told slightly differently and still be funny, (perhaps even funnier) as well as the awkward pauses wouldn't be there at all because there obviously only there because the context for why they're there (the audience reaction) WAS REMOVED. This proves fuck all, especially since alot of the stuff they show, ends up still being bloody hilarious. These same people who can't understand the reason, nuance or context of basically anything anymore, shit on actual decent stuff while watching current mainstream drivel and spilling whats left of their brain cells out of all their bloody orifices, its almost embarrassing if it weren't so damn insulting to actual real tangible artistic and comedic talent. Phew, sorry. Needed to rant a little! xD

Kinda rare these days... A lot of hosts will cut off the person being interviewed... might aswell interview themselves in a mirror..

@@aarondavidson6409 totally agree,have to say I was expecting Carl to do that but was very impressed he didn’t,all power to him

Glad I wasn't the only one who caught up on that.
