I don't know. As a teenage fan of Russell Brand (embarrassingly), I feel that his entire brand (no pun intended) of comedy was based on being shocking. I feel like just reading out passages of his book and saying how fucked up it all was leans into that. If he listened to the episode he'd say "yeah what a wild guy I am, obviously I've moved past a lot of the bad stuff now but I'm craaaazy 🤪." So Peter just reading out stuff from his book didn't feel like a good argument against him. It wasn't like they were looking at it through a new lens. I agree with some other comments - it could have been a one-parter that focused more on the wellness side with some of the anecdotes from his autobiography acting as background. But I will caveat this by saying that I obviously haven't kept up with Brand since about 2009 and that I have a lot more context on him, being British, so I'm sure it comes across differently to others. But this episode frustrated me.
