Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - with David Cross

  • Away or Towards?
    A weary Richard films the audience as evidence of dissent for the future fascist government of the UK, before introducing a man who comes with his own magical minor ticker tape parade, David Cross. Starstruck and clearly in disbelieving awe, Rich flounders around and mainly embarrasses himself, but luckily Mr Cross is able to come up with some amazing riffed comedy about frozen vegetables, Abraham and taking cocaine near President Obama, whilst getting a bit more serious about Donald Trump, the responsibilities of fatherhood, why Richard should probably not take hard drugs, the benefits of the middle-aged sketch show and David’s part in the creation of kickstarter.
    Richard hoped that he would so impress David that they would become good friends and could appear in Doctor Doolittle 3 together as method-acted monkeys, but I think it’s safe to say that that will not happen. Cross put away an impressive amount of bitter during this podcast and still remains focused and coherent, but clearly needed the toilet near the end, which turns into a battle of the obstinately pedantic 1990s underrated sketch show stars.

    Whats the drug, damn it?! What the hell is wrong with him that he didn't ask? Was it just his love of contrariness? Yeah, must be. "They're all waiting for me to ask - let them wait"

    • @Herring1967
      @Herring1967  8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I thought that by the way he phrased it that he didn't want to say. Maybe he was waiting for me to ask, but that would be weird. I also just assumed it was obviously crack.

      Oh... I thought he had said it, but assumed you'd edited it out (which would have been quite understandable).
      BTW, Rich, if you are going to take one drug once, make it DMT. 10 minutes in a parallel universe. Lou Sanders will sort you out. ;-)

    • @wmperry2790
      @wmperry2790 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      crack didn't even occur to me- you certainly dont have to go to the uk to try crack- i was imaging some exotic A. Shulgin variant. Crack...shudder...treat it like ebola.

    • @emdiar6588

    I don't think nationalism universally means racism, perhaps in the context David is talking about. It's easy from a British perspective to think of nationalism as a dangerous political force, but for many in the world it's a legacy of a colonial/ imperial history and a genuine desire for self-determination.

    • @OldSkoolWax
      @OldSkoolWax 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's what it's become in many lands. The original idea of Nationalism was, as you probably know, an often persecuted ethnic group of people within an empire wishing to rule itself. Most modern first world nationalism doesn't mean that nay more. Irish Nationalism in the North of Ireland would be the only true form of it left in the west.

    5 hits of acid in the Jean Cocteau Theatre in Santa Fe New Mexico to see Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil'.....the glass ticket boofh IS detached from the building, the corridor does wind back and forth to the candy stripe and polished brass snack stand, the corridor continues up and opens to the auditorium to the left and behind, as I sat waiting for the film to start the walls would breath and change color......fans and lights behind the curtains, it's like they knew I was there or know that people come to the theatre slightly altered to enjoy the experience. btw, I walked out sober.

    How wasteful to use a coffee grinder, back in the day when I would go through big lumps of hash like a mad-man, the guy I lived with at the time found an amazing little grater to break up the resin. The mesh was fine and the teeth were sharp and it had a small box that it would catch what you put through it. As it warmed up with a few strokes it became very easy to grate and you soon had more than enough.
