Rob Brydon - RHLSTP -

[@mayateola4732]

Rob is such a wholesome and heart warming person. I wish there were more people like him.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

What a charming conversation, feels like it is running itself.

[@NeoDragoN7676]

Brilliant. That was just effortless to watch and listen to, i could listen to Rob for hours! I really hope he comes back! Great stuff Rich!

[@marks6928]

Best guest. Such a great story teller. I want him back already.

[@gwasgray9309]

The first thing I heard him in was the 1996 computer game Discworld 2. He voices about half of the characters in it, including Death and the Archchancellor.

[@agnes2447]

I could listen to Rob tell stories for hours, this was brilliant!

[@readventurekids]

Brilliant! This could have gone on for hours and not lost it's momentum. Another classic, Rich! I'm off to the gym ...

[@rcgriffin17]

How was your gym session?

[@readventurekids]

@@rcgriffin17 I guess it was OK. I am still alive...

[@rcgriffin17]

@@readventurekids that’s the main thing mate, couldn’t go a day knowing your heart no longer made a beat in this world. It would simply break me, and destroy my world 🌎 😢 …… 💕

[@MrSbmerriman]

Brilliant conversation, really funny and absorbing, thank you.

[@twstdelf]

I could've watched another hour of this conversation. :)

[@paultowmy1877]

"love to" come back again he said - seals the deal for Richard for several more seasons imo.

[@nick8292]

yep

[@RosablueHandMade]

Genuine, warm, funny bastards! Thank you for the most charming hour.

[@cuzned1375]

55:00 Shit, i’m almost 52, and i spend every Thursday whining to my therapist about how i can’t accept how i am. Guess i’d better get on the stick - time’s running out! 😆

[@MarquisSmith]

Lovely chap. Really enjoyed this one Rich, thanks.

[@WhiteSleevedStu]

This episode flew by! Rob is a treasure!

[@joewakeford]

Ruddy wonderful, well done to both of you!

[@barbarakirk3064]

I felt it for him when he talked about the injury he had with the sledge and the ladder!

[@Robutube1]

I love Rob's lack of snobbery around the comedy he watched and loved. It's about time that those of us 'generalist comedy fans' were allowed to mention being amused by acts other that, for example, Lenny Bruce and the Pythons. I too found, and find, Cannon and Ball and Brucie in his prime, hilarious. How lovely that he shared that.

[@jgg75]

He is like the Anti-Stewart Lee...

[@Etcher]

Robutube1 well said! Rob’s lack of snobbery is only matched by your comment 😉

[@kenlieck7756]

Well, we know it's safe to mention the Goodies, at least here...

[@simonmoore2380]

It's nothing to do with snobbery. I'm the same age as Brydon, and I never found stuff like Little & Large or Cannon & Ball remotely amusing. The idea that you have to have liked everything however banal and mainstream it is otherwise you're a snob, is frankly ludicrous. When Little & Large, Cannon & Ball, or the Two Ronnies for that matter, were on prime time TV I was anywhere between about 8 and 14. I was't trying to prove a point at that age, I just thought they were a pile of cack. And, in the immortal words of Supertramp, I was "bloody well right".

[@tuveuxlademocratieoutuveux4692]

*And Ab Fab for God sakes, why the hell the greatest comedy in the '90s Ab Fab never gets mentionned anywhere by anybody these days ??... "Absolutely Fabulous" of course with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, why doesn't it ever get mentionned ever anymore ???... Just make that experiment : just binge watch the 1st season of Ab Fab and see your average rate of laughs and then binge watch the 1st series of Monty Pythons and do the same : and then you'll see for yourself that there's nothing more misleading than a reputation.*

[@mixinmagic5995]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. What a brilliantly funny and humble man Rob Brydon is.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Always loved Rob. Brilliant having him on!

[@johngreenwood1972]

Excellent interview.

[@LaFleurDeTruth]

This was a lovely episode, one of my favourites.

[@petew5399]

"I've written the intro to Zippy's autobiography" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard

[@plebjames]

Noticeably better than your average RHLSTP

[@merlinsclaw]

Have been waiting for this one for years . Brilliant comedic conversation.

[@fuzzidelic]

I loved this one. Cheers

[@shingblu]

Love Rob! He’s hilarious and very animated story teller. Nice stuff!😊

[@OnlyOneTubing]

Not as animated as Brian Blessed

[@shingblu]

Well no one can top Brian Blessed, he is a god

[@affalaffaa]

One of the best guests you have, thanks

[@johnmartin7370]

We need more people like you on this planet Dr. Herring. Just please don't let the Politicians try to copy your systems ... Oooops I'm too late ... You're a Genius.

[@barbarakirk3064]

Rob's Hartley Hare impression also makes me think elements of that Pipkins character turned up in Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory.

[@reggiepollock4669]

I love when people I've watched on TV since I was 11 talk about having the same fears as I have

[@rudimentaryganglia]

Rob is so sweet and so Welsh he reminds me of all my aunties and uncles

[@kimpettis8231]

R. Brydon is a wonderful story teller!

[@josephmiddleton3181]

This pleases me greatly

[@barbarakirk3064]

Was Alan Taylor the host Rob was thinking of re Gus Honeybun? I know Taylor hosted the HTV version of Mr. & Mrs., and Rob mocked the Derek Batey Border Television version on Directors Commentary, making out that Ridley Scott initially directed it.

[@andrewp1075]

"just out of interest, what setting was it on?"

[@LunaC...]

I have to say that is a brilliant idea for an English lesson.

[@MrKaywyn]

Rob Brydon is so sweet.

[@NxDoyle]

This was a great one. Thanks, Rich.

[@LiquidSpiral]

What a lovely, talented, charming, hilarious man. Brydon's a cool guy too!

[@DanielFyfe]

I thought show had peaked with the legend that is Blessed, I was wrong. Thank you for this - made an awful couple of weeks a little bit better.

[@isladurrant2015]

I hope you will email those Portuguese English language students and tell them which podcast some of them are featured on... They are correct that their teacher is being lazy, but now that teacher will have to explain the whole podcast, dissect the grammar and pronunciation, explain Wales/England, glotteral stops, schwas, Frankie Howard, etc... a good year's worth of work in that which serves them right!

[@StephanSandiares]

Mexican students.

[@Travis_Kemp]

those English Language students must have a teacher who has your book.

[@bradenschecter5217]

Are you a detective?

[@Travis_Kemp]

@@bradenschecter5217 haha no. i was an ESL teacher once, and its the kind of questions i would . use in an advanced communications class.

[@BrendanBlake42]

It's refreshing to hear two comedians talk about Michael Macintyre without saying anything bad about him. I mean, I don't like the guy, but it's refreshing none the less.

[@emdiar6588]

Totally remember Bailey's Comets.

[@psammiad]

A cruise around Great Britain? Wow, they're pushing the boat out.

[@marachime]

that sneaky cut at 19 mins OwO

[@austinwoods466]

This show rules.

[@MatgoStyles]

I had an irrational fear of Toby Spell Dragon from Puddle Lane.

[@frankcooke1692]

I always had these vague memories of a show with a blue wizard and a dragon in it, wasn't really sure if it was real or something I dreamt. Then I saw you say "Puddle Lane" and it clicked. Thank you! That's been racking my brain for years. Now I can get on with my life.

[@kenlieck7756]

There are so many US shows that I would never know were shown in the UK if not for mentions by Richard. Could someone briefly give me the poop as to where and when such effluvia as the Wacky Races were aired over there?

[@RighteousBrother]

This is going to be excellent. Thanks for the free funnies Richard. I'll come and see you on tour to pay something back!!

[@gerrabath]

Jerry Sadowitz is on the back burner.

[@idio-syncrasy]

Chuckles Galore.

[@alleeum]

Ah, Rob, what happened to the long socks? :)

[@depcont]

the ames illusion on this is amazing

[@sratus]

Well that was very enjoyable

[@EHKodiak]

This was a really good one, Rob is brilliant

[@paultowmy1877]

Simply - magical.

[@britturk123]

Rob is a legend a fucking unbelievably skilled raconteur.

[@yeovil50]

I saw Ted Rogers in Weymouth too! :)

[@henrikdahlberg878]

what was the partially muted part?

[@WhitbyStuff]

55:01 Adam Buxton is 5' 7 too.

[@RMGLUCK]

Re: Wacky Races - there were two of them; The Slag Brothers, Rock and Gravel.

[@lwaves]

Wasn't one of the brothers also Captain Caveman? That's who my mind went to when he said it. I know I could look it up but I'm having a lazy afternoon.

[@RMGLUCK]

@@lwaves I think the Slag Brothers inspired Captain Caveman. I also like the fact that Hanna Barbera originally wanted to call them the Igneous Brothers.

[@lwaves]

@@RMGLUCK That might be it, it's been a long while. I just recall them looking exactly the same, even his club. HB cartoons were practically my whole younger childhood.

[@douglasmilton2805]

@@RMGLUCK Love that last fact!

[@trevorrandom]

Lovely let me get a cup of tea ☺

Anyone know what the Theme song is? Chunky beats

[@formerCEO]

Is Richard Herring doing a long bit? Is this intentional? Either way, I wish him the best.

[@TheStevenWhiting]

I'm an idiot. Can someone explain the reference to Howard Jones being his father and singing?

[@gwasgray9309]

His father had the same name as a once famous singer.

[@TheStevenWhiting]

@@gwasgray9309 Oh so the reference to what is love was a piss take?

[@TheStevenWhiting]

24:57 John Goodman said he couldn't get arrested. I've Googled with no success. What does this mean in the acting world?

[@douglasmilton2805]

Stephen Whiting: It means he couldn't get any work. Common phrase in the US, not just in acting circles.

[@douglasmilton2805]

Steven, sorry!

[@ChrisH78]

What/who were they referencing at 27:25?

[@juanribeiro73]

Howard Jones fixed my sampler, the pop star not Rob's dad.

[@weavehole]

In East Anglia, we had BC (short for birthday club) which was, I am now finding out, a mere rip off of Mr Honerbun.

[@MrGBS1972]

Diamond Wedding Anniversary - Contact Buckingham Palace and they will send a congratulations card from HM The Queen.

[@92RedRevolver]

The new edit for the thumbnail looks a lot more unprofessional than the old ones, for some reason.

I don't know who Gus HoneyBun is

*Rob Brydon is an extremely nervous bloke and you can tell it : at least three times during the interview does he grab the bottle of water, opens it and puts it back without drinking from it ! He does that at least three times : he just moves the bottle about or takes the cap off but doesn't drink !!... Endearing.*

[@larmoran4885]

Looking well fella

[@RIXRADvidz]

yes, a rejection of actors. at 6foot3inches I got a lot of call backs but not a lot of parts, so I went on with regular life, I realized early on I wasn't going to 'make it' in the audition scene

[@bushiebodge]

awesome

[@lukesters7234]

The fucking what? You came to Wakefield? I’d given up hoping this cultural vacuum had anything but John Godber plays

[@DerekNewtonKeswick]

This was great. I laughed a lot. I do think the radio version of Would I Lie To You is better though.

[@austinwoods466]

Kinda like the British Marc Maron. But happier.

Rob Brydon is a comedic polymath

[@21dazzer]

He really is a great raconteur! One of your finest recent episodes, though even the duds are hugely entertaining! Seriously though, what is the worst thing that's happened to you with a sledge and a ladder?!

Omg I love Rob brydon no wait I'm thinking of Beckett Rob Beckett 😁 wait which one does Ronnie Corbett over and over and over yeah he's ok 😁😁
