Charlie Brooker - RHLSTP

[@demetrikatsidis6776]

I cannot tell you how happy I was to see this pop up this morning. Not only because it's the great Brooker but because these uploads are one of the few pleasures in my life (really) I listen to them in the bath after work and in bed to help me drift off, and now I will be listening simply to fill the time for the foreseeable. I know I'm not alone in saying these videos have helped me mentally and some of the stories and messages from the guests have resonated,educated and moved me in addition to the laughter. Seeing Richard in the clip before the video made me a bit emotional too. We truly don't know how long we will be in this mess and I'm sure ppl are worrying as I am. We are in it together guys I hope you all find the strength to make it through with some positive outcomes to show for it. God bless. Keep talking and reach out to others if you need help or in a position to give help.Lastly,Thank you Richard to you Chris Evans (not that one) and all the crew that make these shows possible- you legends xx

[@mmabennyj]

I was once like you. Am a lot healthier now. If you haven’t I suggest watching the first time Jon Robbins was on. That led me to him and he’s podcast and I use his shows like you use this if I get really bad.

Richard I have not laughed so hard and so often during a programme/podcast for such a long time. This was hysterical. Charlie is such an excellent good value guest. I love his humour and you two bounce off each other really well. I loved this. Thank you.

[@krankenhosen]

Please don't leave it seven and half years before Charlie Brooker is back on. This was great.

[@astronomenov99]

This is probably the funniest and most entertaining podcast I've ever seen/heard. Charlie Brooker is very sharp and witty. They are very well matched, him and Richard.

I must have missed this one when it came out, pleasantly surprised at seeing it pop up in my suggested videos. I also didnt realise how much I've been missing Charlie's dark musings. I hope he does one day return to presenting shows, however unlikely it may be. This was hilarious, thanks.

Charlie out weirding Richard and no time for emergency questions? Awesome!

[@TheCrimsonLupus]

I love how people like Brooker and Frankie Boyle have this grumpy man vibe who create very dark material, but are actually really nice people in person. This is a great show, one of my favourites so far as I am working through your back catalogue. Also: "The cunts rolling a six" :D

[@Spankabuttux]

Charlie Brooker is great. He's had so many online twats criticising him for simply advancing his career it's ridiculous. He is so grounded and unaffected it's to his credit. Plus he created one of the greatest three-panel cartoon strips ever for Oink! comic at a really early age, "The Story Of Sleeping Sam"

[@seanp8220]

He predicted the woke culture with Nathan Barley Rise of the idiots. He and Morris were incredibly prescient

[@Spankabuttux]

@@seanp8220 I don't totally agree with that. I am assuming rather than 'woke' you mean streamers who are in love with themselves, and in that case it has expanded but it did exist then, in Shoreditch and other hip areas of metropolitan London. If you did mean woke then you're talking out of your arse.

[@seanp8220]

@@Spankabuttux That level of self obsessed childish pretentiousness existed in Shoreditch but has gone global since. Climb out your arse and learn that wokeness isn't popular. For some reason British people are lagging way behind in the culture wars. Its literally already fallen. And over.

@@Spankabuttux I really despise folks who think it's still 2016. You LOST the culture war - obsessive political correctness and all those morons who espouse it thinking it's regressive nonsense is somehow progressive. You literally had control on every facet of the culture and you managed to utterly lose your beachhead. It's hilarious watching people one by one denounce wokeness as pious and destructive. Everyone apart from a few morons in Britain who still think it's something anyone wants
