Down the clickhole of Russel Brand on YouTube. He's bright, clearly, and his mind frequently struggles to keep up with his mouth. And he does a fine job of being outrageous, cheeky, the seducer, the bad boy, and he's damned good company (to watch), throwing his invariably dry hosts on their ass or otherwise upsetting or challenging the situation.

So, click, click, click, and eventually you hit his "TREWS" channel, True News, an oxymoron if ever there was one. A few years since he's started this, he's clearly an awful lot less manic, calmer, he's kind-of doing the Jim Carey, Guru, Comedian come Messiah, the grey beard of wisdom, the 12 steps, they trampled him with the higher power, I don't disagree, I could use his advice at every turn, but - for the layperson, at least, I think , all this newfound enlightenment makes him boring.
