I swear the God, Deren Brown seems to rumble something that makes absolutely no sense, throwing words and fragments of thoughts and letting Sam make some half sense of it. I literally didn't get more than 10% of common sense in his word soup... I would't be surprised he is doing his gag troughout his recent self advertising campaign. He did the same thin in Joe Rogan podcast, I totally went "wtf is he talikg about...".
amazing
Darren Brown is a complete fraud who clearly uses actors in his specials, in the apocalypse one it's so obvious it's laughable, when he wakes up in hospital he is clearly being filmed by a cameraman not hidden cameras. I'm shocked Sam fell for this.

You probably shouldn't listen to this until after watching Sacrifice or Push(if you're planning to). Spoiler alert.
