Russell Howard is such an understated, competent and empathetic interviewer, who really allows his guests to speak and shine. Thank you. ❤
Yes. And also so beautifully himself too. The end of "the worst Dragon's Den idea ever" is just so Russell
He really is a great interviewer.
Rob always talks so beautifully about his son. The smiles when he's remembering him ❤
The joy on his face when remembering the dog was beautiful. I hope he gets the joy in that memory forever ❤
I will never forget seeing the first interview with Rob Delaney here and questioning my views on my day to day life immediately afterwards. Seeing my kids through a new point of view and then shifting my focus for the future. Thank you.
He is beyond brilliant. Honesty is so hard to find these days and I appreciate that he didn't want to sugar coat his book or his story. ❤
I lost my son 20 years ago so I was so relieved to hear someone else call out the Bull$hit part of grief the "christ"ians are so fond of saying. " Oh, I was broken but the sun came out and all the word of pain was healed." It's just not true! One is truly, profoundly and forever changed!
When I saw Rob and Russel's first interview, we had just discovered that my youngest brother had the same condition. While my brother lasted an amazing 4 years after diagnosis, remembering Rob's words helped me cope with what was a death sentence for my brother, both while he was still alive, and after he passed away.
My brother made me cry twice- when he told me, and when he died, but he made me laugh thousands of times. So now when I think of him, and I think of him every day, I may be sad, but I am smiling.
Thanks, Rob.
Two of the most beautiful examples of human beings on the planet. 🤗👌
Well there's me thinking I was all cried out after reading Rob's book, but no, you had to get a few more drops out of me. Amazing bloke, and such a brilliant activist too.
Hearing Rob Delaney speak about his son with the dog was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
I've just been diagnosed with a brain tumour so watched this with tears in my eyes, I'm sitting here in the hospital thinking about all the treatment I have to come, I'm hoping it's an op and they can whip it out and I'll be back to life, but definitely feel ultimately changed x
I just wanted to let you know that someone has seen this and that I'm rooting for you.
I hope your op and recovery goes well ❤️
@@Stewniverse Thank you Daniel x
I hope that your treatments are successful and your recovery is swift. You are strong. Please be well.
@@davidmaheengun2672 thank you david, just had the news it's benign so feeling a bit more positive about it all - thankfully
Thank you dear Russell for giving Rob the chance to comfortably tell us again, pieces of this heartbreaking and heartwarming truth.
Rob speaks with such grace, compassion and empathy. It’s so hard to comprehend what that was like to go through as a parent. What does shine through is the way he described his sons ability to provide that strength to himself. What a beautiful story & clearly his son was a complete blessing in theirs lives, to the very end ❤️🩹
The love Rob had for his son shines through his eyes and very being. I am so happy he found so much love in his life.
What a lovely honest interview.
What a lovely man 😢
Thank you Rob Delaney . Listening to his beautiful account of his dying son's short life was moving to the extreme.
What I didn't expect from his graphic description of changing tracheostomy tubes, that I'd be inspired. He and his wife showed such courage I realised I was being pathetic regards treating my cats sore paws. They knew it was impossible to have the process pain-free for Henry but also knew it was life essential.
All of them were so brave.
So open, so raw, so honest, it's to really be human!
So beautifully explained an inspiration for all! 🫂♥
Loss my (then) 18 year old disabled son in 2008 after almost an entire life trying to give him 'a life'. Thank you Russell - you are such a great interviewer and my wife and I are watching this on a Monday morning - with a tear or two but generally happy thoughts (now we are in our 60s). Every bereaved parent's story is different but uncanning similar. Rob's book will be on my list.
I am very sorry for your tragic loss.
Thank you ,Russell Howard ,for this profound interview.Please accept my condolences, Rob Delaney (from Eve Green San Rafael California)
A wonderful interview! I remember seeing the first interview Russell did with Rob, and seeing this one is even more special. Rob is a very special person, and Russell displays the wonderful empathy, understanding and care he has for Rob. Absolutely marvelous!
My son died just before he would have been 3 months old. He had a lot of medical bills, notices from insurance companies, etc. A week after his funeral my coworkers (the medical billing staff at the drs. Office) came to my house and picked it all up and completely dealt with that piece for us. Did all the questions and negotiations and came to us 90 days later and said cut these two checks. It was the most beautiful thing. Practical support is so important.
I am incredibly grateful that Rob Delaney exists and does what he does. That is all.
Russell needs to host a chat show! His empathy and approach is on point! Excellent work!
I always thought people are so different in this world, and that is indeed true, but we are so similar despite our differences, and its sad someone people don't realise that. Until someone speaks out.
This was such a lovefilled interview. And yet again Russell letting his guest speak. Especially with a topic such as grief. Bittersweet but beautiful .
Such a beautiful conversation. I love Rob Delaney for his warm, empathetic comedy (no matter the amount of black pepper 😄 ). It would be really interesting to see a discussion between Rob and Michael Rosen, who also tragically lost a son, and wrote a book about it.
Absolutely amazing interview
I had to stop and go back somewhere in the middle of this, because watching Rob talk so openly and gently about the complexities of grief reminded me of my dad passing. I heard Rob talking about moments of laughter within grief, and how important it is to know that's normal. It suddenly reminded me of my childhood friend, who after my dad died, came up for the funeral. I know Rob said he hated people not acknowledging his son's passing, but for me it was the opposite. I had nothing but people saying how sorry they were about my dad, asking how I was doing, and how one day things would be okay. Looks of sympathy, which I know were well meaning, but it made me feel a bit like a bug under a microscope. My best friend came to the funeral and of course she said how sorry she was about my dad, and we hugged. But then we went out for dinner and joked and laughed about old times. She cracked me up with her wild stories the same way she always had when we were younger, and it was such a relief for the circumstances and my feelings not to be the focus of the conversation. I remember feeling like I hadn't laughed in months until that night, and a very small part of me feeling guilty about feeling good. It was nice to feel like the world wasn't ending. I'll always be grateful to her.
It was just nice to have these memories rise out of nowhere while watching this, and nice to write them out, to take the time to feel them, and then release them. I think I understand more why he wrote the book. Thanks, Rob.
Almost all people I knew turned their back and said, sorry for your loss, but I can't deal with your sadness.
Thank you ❤ It was wonderful to watch your conversation☀️

Omg he came into his eyeball
I don't know who the American guy is to be honest...
Run, don't walk to watch "Catastrophe".
@@devora1958 Film or Series?
@@Jamal_Tyrone A series co starring Rob Delaney and co created by him too; some clips and trailers of it are also on you tube; bonus aspect of which: some clips on you tube feature Carrie Fisher as a mother in law character in her last role before she died.
f
@@Ma_Ba Her last "real" roll before Disney made her into very bad CGI.
@@DrVVVinK I would watch her fold laundry. Think the latest union actions will address AI and rights or writers and actors. Think everyone consented to CGI for her and incorporating Billie into the Jedi training with good intentions though. Catastrophe was real input from the real Carrie Fisher though. As you say, a "real role."
