Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast with Romesh Ranganathan #67

[@patientzero4889]

I don't get people leaving comments just saying 'I don't like Richard Herring / Romesh Ranganathan'. Why are you here then? Just to spread negativity? Ace! Good life choices.

[@LeofromFreo]

Old saying: if you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing.

[@SusiPineapple]

I find them both really funny. Why can't people just leave it and move on?

[@Astor-ip8of]

I don't like him, only because i wake up to this playing full blast

[@KristopherNoronha]

they're complaining to the youtube algorithm or something 😁😁

[@nancydavies6446]

I agree 👍

[@mcfontaine]

Another brilliant episode

[@phillipclatworthy6345]

it was the Air Jordon 5 that had the mesh on the side;} another great podcast

[@realKHz]

and the 4

[@MrGentleNick]

I love this interview. I am a physics, metallurgy, engineering person and I hate or do not understand calculus. Never needed it in my life. Geometry, algebra and trigonometry yes. I use them. But calculus, a waste of time. The tutor did not explain it well, a friend did however and I got a really high score. Never used it since

[@e2theoc]

I love the way they said -well we should probably get back to our kids. 20 mins later still waffling :)

[@fiskrond9212]

052:50... onwards.. Herring walks into one and laughs when he realises... I love it when comedians bounce off each other.. :-) RR got a new fan.. clever stuff (am a RH fan from before FoF)

[@avysark2034]

A very enjoyable show to listen to; it was very interesting for me to see and hear Romesh outside of his usual public role; I absolutely loved it. Thank you for sharing Richard, much appreciated ❤

[@greendogg83]

Sorry I'm late Richard. Didn't know you had a channel, these chat's are mint, keep'em going

[@Ollysp1]

Funny watching this now knowing that Romesh did all of the 'you're fired' eps this season.

[@MrExEssex]

11:40 I actually found it interesting hearing what a "cost analyst for an airline caterers" had to do. Maybe it's because my first job was as a trainee quantity surveyor. (I never qualified as an actual quantity surveyor and so never became a member of RICS).

[@LourneSaunders]

Viewer 1999. And pretty sure the Russel brand was longer. Just watched that one again

[@jasonconlan6903]

Shane Saunders it is but i cant bring myself to watch it as brand is such a twat

[@lukem118]

I think he should have ironed the shirts too.

[@spacemonkey95]

My favourite part was when 2 members of the audience stayed for the whole show but couldn't wait for the last 20 seconds and stood up in front of the camera.

[@Michael_Johnson_5446]

Cool!

[@hannahbaxter8825]

Some of us work Sundays

[@MrJambot]

Standing room only!

[@CAMZAB]

Hey Richard. I've heard you say Alan Sugar tweets "what's the Tottenham score?" before, claiming he could easily find out. On this occasion you might be mistaken. Football fans will often see their team winning then ask people it will annoy "What's the (my team) score?" He is still annoying you, just not because your team is getting beat by his.

[@NxDoyle]

I liked the old days when Rich used to leave a beat for the audience to say RHLSTP.q

[@leejohnson3209]

Canned laughter at 18:46?

[@sarahlarry17]

edit point perhaps?

[@liamswyr1071]

given how empty the place looked, probably

[@abegarfield7031]

Canned laughter hasn't been used in decades. You'd know it if you heard it, it's really tinny and echoey.

[@nigelrushby9839]

Does anyone find Richard Herring funnier than he finds himself ......... there is 2 hours of my life I'll never get back :-)

[@nigelrushby9839]

Have we become self-indulgent with the baby talk ...... does anyone here have children? .... thank god I don't keep a gun in the house.

[@Herring1967]

+Nigel Rushby it's only 1hr 44, what did you do with the other 16 minutes? I don't find myself very funny, so I hope so.

[@nigelrushby9839]

+Richard Herring That sounds a bit harsh on reflection, I must have been tired. I think if I was a bit more middle class this would be hilarious, I'm working on social climbing as I write, I'm guessing if I watch this in about 5 years time this will be comedy gold :-)

[@nigelrushby9839]

+B Hewitt Hey B, do the kind of people you mix with take you more serious if you chuck in the 'F' bomb?. I like your style though .... ever thought of writing for the Daily Mail, they always need people with your writing abilities :-)

[@nigelrushby9839]

+B Hewitt My comments about the podcast was honest feedback, I appreciate not everyone likes people being honest when it is not complimentary, completely understandable but in comedy as in life adults learn to filter criticism and some even learn from it. Does Richard really need you to second guess how he feels about my post, what really has it got to do with you? Why are you even getting involved, I was giving honest feedback, who cares what you think about my feedback, why don't you try being more positive, listen to the podcast and give your own constructive feedback, I never questioned or brought into doubt his work ethic. Check yourself before you wreck yerself my good man, trolling me on the internet is about as useful and productive as shouting into the wind or throwing stones at the moon. I've seen trolls, I've done trolls ..... you're nothing new or nothing special to me .......

[@allimlookingforisred]

Middle class comedy

[@delie32]

This is definitely one of the best in the series, up there with the David Mitchell & Bob Mortimer episodes :)

[@patientzero4889]

It's a lot of fun, hard to top David Mitchell round 2 though!

[@moeezS]

This is one of the funniest podcasts, Romesh is brilliant. Had me howling a few times. 1:04:55 Love that Romesh called out how awkward Richard got about having sex versus sticking a rib through a urethra for self-fellation.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

This is probably my 4th time round watching this. Still love it!

[@qwertyuiopdan1]

'I had the chance to kill Michael Gove this weekend' .. I would love to know Richard's thoughts on this 5 years on..!

[@akumu102]

This was easily one of the best, if not the best, podcasts I've seen to date...Romesh was brilliant...seems like a really nice guy...

[@MrOtistetrax]

This is still up there with the best of these. Romesh so enjoyable to watch and listen to.

[@Twistedhippy]

Brilliant, he is really funny and would make a great double act with Rich.

[@royfr8136]

I wish he had spoken about his transition from teaching and his experiences more. I also can't stand when the conversation is going well, but then it just turns into the Richard Herring show.

[@bareakon]

And that's how, pretending to be Romesh Ranganathan, Richard Herring managed to destroy the career of Paul Chowdhry...

[@angiecave1615]

Just discovered these podcasts last night and I'm already 4 down. Love the casual shite talking style, just like two good mates bantering at a party. This one is my favourite so far! FYI reckon the people who think Richard isn't funny just take life too seriously.

[@prnfl]

Just had a look at Romesh's twitter in 2010, he basically talked to himself for the whole year

[@adrianthomson9225]

I was surprised that no mention was made of the baculum or penis bone that is present in many other mammals. Chimpanzees and bonobos both have penis bones as do many other species. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baculum

[@fragglet]

It was very interesting hearing about Romesh's job as a cost analyst but he never explained what the deal is with airline food

[@puckerings]

The thing about the veganism - people always complain that vegans won't shut up about being vegan. But every show I see Romesh on, it's always someone else bringing up the fact that he's vegan, asking him to talk about it. And then sometimes later in the same show they'll make fun of him for talking about veganism.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

He's not a militant vegan though, a lot are!

[@charliepotter100]

@@OfficialFingazMC I really REALLY don't think that's true. I know A LOT of vegans and they are ALL very respectful of other people's lifestyles. I at least think that militant vegans are in a very small minority, and being vegan, I can tell you we put up with all kinds of rubbish from people all the time. When people are having a go at you about it all the time it's hard not to get a bit defensive, but still I find most vegans manage.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

@@charliepotter100 I'm only speaking from personal experience, I'm yet to meet a vegan in real life who wasn't a knob head.

[@tcritt]

@@OfficialFingazMC They probably didn't tell you, so how would you know? And I've personally seen a lot more obnoxious behaviour *towards* vegans.

[@tcritt]

@@charliepotter100 yup. It's the vegans who get the shit. Their existence seems to make people uncomfortable - they feel they are being judged, even when nobody has said anything. It's the same psychology behind giving hassle to and making 'jokes' about the person who has decided not to drink one night or is laying off the party substances.

[@stuartcollie8377]

what the hell is with that weird laughter track around 18mins 50secs mark?!

[@stuartcollie8377]

Stuart Collie 18mins 47secs to be precise

[@NickSheridanVids]

Stuart Collie They're just laughing at "maths is a..." ;)

[@ianwebster6874]

VidSheridan "maths is a..." Classic Romesh.

[@dmacraild01]

+Stuart Collie Don't worry, Terry will edit that out.

[@alkapowportstar7808]

what's the world coming to? Before you know it we'll have vegan priests and bloomin vegan marriages !

[@abegarfield7031]

They'll want the vote next.

[@vultan2000]

18:47 random scary laughter!

[@RIXRADvidz]

ooh, new titles and all with the new series...all .that money went to a good purpose. and as always a quality offering from Mr. Herring for our entertainment pleasure. Always the Finest Quality. Thanks Mr. Herring!! and thanks for sharing these and putting something good on the wwweb.

[@affalaffaa]

Found him funny when I've seen him and these podcasts let you see a different and, I'd hope, honest side to the interviewee. Have to say though that I do like his slightly pissed off, sardonic and bored onscreen persona.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

Hey, Mr Herring. Got an emergency question for you. Of the comedians you know personally, who would you most like to write the obituary for... bearing in mind that they actually have to die first? And what would be your zinger anecdote to memorialise them. You may, for the purpose of the question, decide for yourself how they died. Have fun. Answer my comment and I'll buy a badge.

[@sarahlarry17]

Yeah that's pretty good .

[@benjoenjozero17]

ANSWER THE QUESTION

[@abegarfield7031]

I'll sell you a badge if you like. They all say "Free Nelson Mandela" but what do you want for 50p each?

[@matthewd1091]

romesh is the shit

[@maddy_oh]

What a joy. I've recently discovered Romesh's work, so I was delighted to find this episode, and you were both just delightful all the way through. Thanks for making these videos available. Love the podcast!

[@harryturner8701]

9:29 give them the wrong address 😂😂😂

[@cuzned1375]

I’ve never seen Romesh in such good humor. Lot of fun. 👍

[@gazjones4763]

Richard has a knack to make everyone relax. Gets stuff out of people that others wouldn't. He's a genuinely nice guy and that comes across x

[@zetetick395]

The Adam Buxton podcast with Romesh is fantastic if you enjoyed this one, they're just both hanging out in LA shooting the shit, it's hilarious.

[@ajphilton]

Thanks Richard.

[@Alf898]

Great !

[@voodoolew]

I'm so glad I found this, FINALLY, someone else in this world talking about Sugar Puffs making your wee smell like Sugar Puffs

[@abegarfield7031]

What is that? My wee would sometimes smell like Sugar puffs when I was a kid. Makes me wonder what they put in Sugar puffs.

[@madderhat5852]

The hiding sound man bit bwahahahahaha

[@harveyt4687]

well i like it! he's got a unique style sort of awkward confidence, is filling my 6 hour commute with some amusement

[@mondoprime]

Box fresh sneakers, those.

[@mitchyk]

This video has my like.

[@idio-syncrasy]

This show is impressive.

[@greatclams6425]

What's going at at 18:47?

[@normplatt7549]

Great show old Bean!

[@DanielFBest]

I love these series I have nearly watched all of them almost

[@Travis_Kemp]

hour 1 25 mins in, talk about babies being upside down in the womb, and the idea that there is no gravity. does that mean babies gestate in a Vac-womb?

[@Grimhurst]

No kinder egg link ... so disappointed.

[@NickSheridanVids]

Ahh good, he's not "in character". I don't think I'd enjoy two hours of him pretending to be boring :)

[@jananni123456789]

Richard Herring is not funny. He just tries too hard

[@Herring1967]

+jananni123456789 Sorry you don't find me funny. I will try harder.

[@StickItUpYrBumGugle]

What if his surname was a funnier animal? Would it help you find him funnier? If it would, then I think it's probably your problem, not his. Did your parents argue a lot? I'm just trying to help.

[@hutspah71]

+jananni123456789 "Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka Dunka" OW! Quatro fever!

[@jananni123456789]

hutspah71 lol?

[@rebusforever6406]

+jananni123456789 Im assuming you dont understand the whole "thats the joke" bit.

[@boneav83]

'That was the worst gig ever' Amy Schummer wants a word.

[@nifralo2752]

I dont get why everyone hates her. Shes not the funniest but I've seen others who are 10 times worse

[@abegarfield7031]

​@@nifralo2752 She gets accused of stealing jokes but which comedians haven't pinched jokes? Even George Carlin and Lenny Bruce did.

[@djfearross4144]

Romesh is the only South Asian comedian i like. The rest are just token Asians. I say this as an Asian myself.

[@rem299]

he says ''what happened was...'', ''what i did was...'', ''how it went was...'' alot.

[@mrgrimsdale6733]

Richard Herring's let Himself go.
