Rhod Gilbert - RHLSTP

[@Walperion_Music]

I love how Rhod is not only hilarious, but at times genuine deep and personal.

[@cuzned1375]

“…like a piping bag” 🤢😆 Rhod is a wordsmith thru and thru 😆

[@sierrahunterlewis7677]

I always knew I liked Rhod . He's witty and smart and has proven to be a good man. When he spoke about his overcoming feeling shy, it REALLY touched my heart ❤️ Too bad there's not many good men in Vegas where I live. Thank you for sharing yourself with us 💓💓💓

[@stuartm8335]

The minutes after the phrase "like a piping bag" may be the funniest part of RHLSTP ever

[@B3ntheboy]

Stuart M I think it may well be!

[@NeverRubARhubarb]

I like the 1974 filter on Rhod's webcam. The candlelit background just adds to the 3-day week vibe.

[@stanogden8864]

All it's missing is his old man coming in and asking if the phone will still work with the leccy off.

[@Walperion_Music]

I think Rhod has the 1974 filter on his actual face.

[@readventurekids]

Congrats on winning TM, Richard! I was rooting for you all the way through ... mainly as I couldn't bare watching RHLSTP in 2021 with you complaining all the way through. I like to think I had something to do with your stellar rise into Taskmaster legend, after meeting Greg in Hong Kong and mentioning you to him. Weirdly enough Barry Castaglona was the support act at the Greg Davies gig and he was bloody hilarious. Merry Christmas all!

[@navmohindra579]

Sad to hear Rhod was struggling, he's such a sweet soul underneath.

[@Reichieru1]

At the same time, I celebrate the act that someone like him can admit it publicly these days.

[@frowningJoker]

What was he struggling with?

[@navmohindra579]

Depression from his fathers passing with Alzheimer's and covid lockdown

[@fiskrond9212]

Social anxiety (borderline agoraphobia)... can screw your life up pretty bad.. very complex condition.. to the point that it is difficult to go to shop and buy food or even order food from takeaway.. then you feel ill from lack of food (which inevitably makes you feel even worse both mentally and physically). From experience. I also got IBS... am familiar with 'espresso martini' situation where you can't believe yer digestive system is capable of such explosive violence.. (>.

[@SerendipityChild]

It's hard to make virtual interviews this natural and conversational. Really well done Not being able to go into shops and socialise solo is so very relatable. For work you do what you have to do, but anything optional is an awful to the point of not being worth while

[@gretchenbaker7435]

Big congrats on the win! 1 year to lord it over everyone. Enjoy your reign. And lovely to see Rhod G and his beard. Merry Xmas everyone

Funniest RHLSTP ever? Rhod was great, and watching Richard losing it at the Espresso Martini story was brilliant!

Yes maybe the funniest this year deffo!

Funniest episode yet! Tears running down my face - thanks to both of you for this

[@Walperion_Music]

Maybe my favourite and funniest episodes this year! Just loved that! Them reminiscing about the good old nostalgic hat-shitting days had me in stiches!

[@jimmyholloway8527]

Oh my. I have been driving for 4 hours listening to this podcast the last 90 minutes or so. And needing the bathroom for the better part of that time. And they wrap this up with this story of Rod s******* up his back and his hat! I nearly s*** myself laughing.

[@hanumaniam]

TaskMaster Win! Couldn't have happened to a nicer person except Johnny Vegas, Mawaan Rizwan, Katherine Parkinson and Daisy May Cooper.

[@davidrobinson2776]

To be honest, although I was hoping Richard would win, I wouldn’t have minded any of them being crowned champion. Probably the nicest line up ever.

[@gazriley624]

I've never taken much notice of Rhod but this was hilarious i have a lot of catching up to do

Brilliant, tears laughing, thank you.

[@quarksdabogirl88]

Such a good episode. Love you both and it's so refreshing to talk about men's mental health amongst shitting in a hat 😂 thanks for brightening up my abysmal 2020 i look forward to more RHLSTP. Merry Rickmas, wubba lubba dub dub!

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

Lots of people will be sad when either of you pass.

[@Ciryandil2]

This is why I love rhlstp

[@georginalewis837]

YES Rhod is right I loved the Room 101s with Paul Merton where they only had one guest and chose about 6 things to get rid of and spent time talking about them and their history etc, the new format with Frank Skinner wasn't so interesting - will def watch Growing Pains! :)

[@garyrigby21]

Rich this look is hilarious. You can't even drive! Hahaha

Rhod, 'This sounds like Mills and Boon'...class. Seen him on TV a few times and he comes across as a really decent bloke. His work in the care home really showed his compassionate side.

Merry Christmas Rich, the Bill Murray stuff was a bit like Blackadder’s Christmas Carol. He started good and went bad. Anyway, congratulations on TaskMaster and have a lovey festive time!

[@HotPantsMcGee]

Loved this episode, Rhod is one of my favorite comics. For me his storytelling is up there with Dave Chappelle. Didn't know Rhod had a new podcast! Listened to the podcast of his radio show for years. Subscribed for sure. Happy to see Richard win Taskmaster too, I was genuinely worried about him not winning, knowing how much he wanted it.

[@neilbiggin]

Stunning video quality for Richard. Anyone know what camera he is using? I've not seen a webcam that good and the DSLRs have an audio delay that he clearly doesn't have.

[@starrya5647]

I still find you attractive Rhod. And Richard, without the jumper and moustache 🤣 Edit: I'm 30

[@davidrobinson2776]

That is very heat warming. I’m 51 and happily married but in my head I’m still 25 when smiling at a girl of similar age I found attractive was just something I felt was natural. In the mirror, I see my Dad staring back at me saying “you filthy old pervert, take the sunglasses off because they’ll still know you’re staring and don’t even try that creepy smile.”

[@starrya5647]

@@davidrobinson2776 I think we can appreciate beauty in people no matter their age and our age. It doesn't always have to be in a romantic way. Just as we can find babies and old people cute. I think that Rhod and Richard are both sweethearts in their own way though.

I think everyone jokes so easily about how old you look specifically because you still *are* also genuinely attractive. So, no worries about that

[@enki345]

I'm 20 and I think Rhod still looks attractive! And like.. I don't find many old people much attractive tbh. I think it's only Jonathan Ross, Patrick Stewart, and Rhod, maybe a couple more I can't think off the top of my head and that's it.

[@larmoran4885]

Something about that moustache, oh my

[@vjc2270]

Well done RH, Taskmaster champion, but heartfelt admiration for Rhod Gilbert - not just because he’s awesomely funny and still probably the most attractive man in Wales - but for displaying a level of gender awareness that makes one wonder which rock Richard has been hiding under for the past 40 years. Apologies Richard, I do love your work and am sincerely grateful for these fantastic videos - and at some level I genuinely applaud your honesty and irrepressibly adolescent spirit! Late bloomers and awkward sex - I’m feeling your pain! 🤣

[@davidrobinson2776]

I’d not heard of Rhod until he did Buzzcocks. I’ve been a fan ever since. He’s got a great mind for comedy and an ability to deliver the most hilarious lines with a dead straight face which makes everything seems even funnier. I think he’s had to develop a slight grin in case people take him to seriously.

[@ryanharriss7950]

I think many would morn the loss of Rod. If any else in this world has traded a Nissan mira for tapas... please step forward 😀. Awesome dude 👍

[@TheLarch]

There are a lot of us Jews in America celebrating Chanukah every year around this time, Thanksgiving is indeed right at the end of November, I was taught about Kwanzaa as a kid, though I know more people who celebrate Solstice and Yule. Thanksgiving and Christmas are both national holidays, so most places are closed, and you kind of have to take part even if you don't celebrate (like getting stuck in traffic after a sporting event you didn't attend). I think the biggest difference between our countries is the Christmas menu: since we just had a turkey a month ago most people have some sort of family specialty. And then it's New Year's in less than a week. Saying "happy holidays" isn't about avoiding offense; it's about the number of holidays we pack into just over a month. Certain people get offended at hearing it, but they're a vocal minority. I've never encountered someone who was offended by hearing "merry Christmas." Congrats on the TM win! Happy holidays!

[@siljrath]

celebrating the things people do... even if the most boring shit... well... that reminded me of me saying my predicament is the worst "bullshit job", and thinking Rhod should do an episode for someone on disability benefits. we're payed on condition we stay unwell, and dont do anything to try mend ourselves that might look not-disabled. it's horrible. the work capability assaulters come around and attempt push you into destitution to test if you really were disabled. if you die, you were. if you live, you're a benefit cheat and get cut off. cant win in tory britain. monstrous dystopian hell. a human cull of the disabled poor. a very British genocide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKe1q2t-p6qJgbs and it eventually got said on tv. harrowing, if following it, from callum's list, when you could watch the tragedies climb one by one up into the numbing numbers. ... sorry, i digress. it'll be fun to see Rhod do a work experience of disability.
