Welcome back. I'm Stuart Goldsmith. This is part two of Russell Howard returns on the day. His latest

special premieres worldwide, if you are listening to it on that day, the 15th of January. In the

first half of this episode, we will discuss Russell's process of crafting new material. And he really is,

he's just such a kind of, um, uh, what's the word? An inspiration. He's an inspiration, the extent to which

I came out of this. Oh, maybe I'll tell you at the end. No, to just tee this up. I came out of

this interview really feeling like, oh, that's why he's a megastar, because all he wants, not all he

wants to do, but I feel like he wants to do, he wants to write and perform comedy more than almost anyone else I know.

You really feel like he'd be happy doing it for the rest of his life constantly.

Do you know what I mean?

And it's fun to kind of grapple with that.

So, you know, huge, huge amount of respect to him.

We'll talk about his process. We'll talk about the different international expectations of grapple with that. So, you know, huge, huge amount of respect to him. We'll talk about his process.

And also, we'll find out what it's like being rich and famous.

Nonetheless, here is part two with Russell Howard.

Look, how funny is this as well?

Um, because basically I'm just going through like all notebooks to try and write.

So I've kind of got all of those.
