Bobby Davro’s Notebook
Richard has been playing I Spy with a 3 year old, and also reveals the cover of his new book, Would You Rather? His guests are the disrespectful young imps from the Off Menu podcast (after Richard was so well behaved on theirs) Ed Gamble and James Acaster.
They discuss how many people believed Richard was a competition winner on their podcast - and how the pair have fared with some genuine competition winning guests, Richard’s constructive criticism of Off Menu, how Dan Akroyd turned out to be the Brian Blessed of OM, how brilliant a contestant Richard was on Taskmaster and how Champion of Champions is progressing, plus performing comedy on a cruise ship, what Ed’s new advertising slogan means and who would be the funniest person to lose a partner to.

great James and Ed helped you with your project! lovely episode
Oh man, that world-famous girl-friend-stealing comedian question was fierce. Those are the moments when a live setting works so much better than a zoom-meeting.
I had to look it up since i didnt know who she was and that she left him for Rowan Atkinson. He did transform the pain into a funny show in the end
@@rowanmorrison7022 True!
timestamp?
@@jamesdowe 35:00 But James starts laughing during the question already and Ed immediately picks up that joke and runs with it. There really is nothing sour about it.
@@Schmidtelpunkt Right. They are clearly joking... jesus... its like people forget these folks are comics. I wonder how they perceive the intro to this interview with the "chumps from the rubbish Off Menu podcast".
Can I just say how much I appreciate Richard correcting himself from 'girls' to 'young women'. Taking affirmative action on one's own habits is always nice to see.
And I appreciate you seeing that as a positive, rather than chastising me for my initial error. (this is the first polite exchange ever conducted on the internet)
Dear god, this is the first polite exchange ever conducted on the internet.
Now, back to normal everybody !
@@Herring1967 I'm outraged and appalled by this civil and courteous exchange!!! You wait til Twitter hears about this! 0 stars.
this is the first time i've heard that 'girls' is a bad word. is 'boys' bad too? i mean neither are but i want to know what craziness is going on in the world.
Instantly a hall of Fame RHLSTP. Could listen to this all day
..the way James looked Rich in the eyes whilst telling him he was "..so invested, you were awful" is ridiculously cold blooded! James is the best.
Hi Richard, i really like the double guests format. Try and get Victoria Coren Mitchell and David Mitchell on as a couple, could be hilarious?
or stephen merchant and ricky gervais...
@@simonjenkin Yeah because they've been reknowned for joint interviews over the last 5 years haven't they
@@joshuaevans5943 maybe it was a joke based on the slight disaster of the stephen merchant episode and the shade rich has thrown against gervais
@@simonjenkin ahhh sorry my friend. Not seen that episode or the shade at Ricky Gervais, my fault for being passive aggressive online without the full facts
Could be, but imagine if something one of them said led to them getting divorced. And then that was what everyone remembered RHLSTP for.
This is utterly brilliant - glad to see you looking so well Richard
Stellar performance from everyone. I really liked the dynamic of multiple guests. I wonder how it would go with people who didn't know each other; I can only imagine some kind of 'Chris Gethard/Graham Norton failed teleporter experiment' vibe.
Just googled Ed Gamble and he's not wrong,The fake tan photo is hilarious .
I remember googling him after the first time I saw any of his stuff, seeing that photo and 100% thinking it was serious.
'No wonder he doesn't respect you' laughed out loud at that
Thank you for another great interview Richard. I’m glad to see you looking healthy. I have seen pretty much all of your shows and I will endeavour to continue to watch your charity shows. Keep up the good work and good health!
Pretty cool the owner of the fire engine company stopped by!
Woke up after a rubbish sleep to find this treasure, just starting the video now but hey I know it will make me feel better ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ohh, I'm so sorry you had a rubbish sleep!
James' summary of Rich's appearance on Taskmaster is so savage and accurate. 😂
He did so well on the show himself. Can't wait to meet him in Champion of Champions... oh wait. Winning is all that matters.
@@Herring1967 Hahaha, yes it is. Most of the winners had their very route one moments. The important thing is that you get to do more. :)
@@Herring1967 I wish you well on that show Richard. To be fair, people watch Acaster clips from the show on repeat, as it was damned entertaining. Which matters quite a bit, surely.
@@marshhen You can play to entertain, but then don't complain when you don't win.
@@Herring1967 you do know you're a comedian and not an athlete right ? Taskmaster is meant to make its viewers laugh, it's not the World Cup.
Hi Richard. You're looking fantastic, I'm glad you look healthy and well. I think this was the best RHLSTP I've listenened to, so good even that I decided to check out the video as well! Right after listening to the RHLSTP podcast i decided to listen to the Dan Akroyd off menu podcast as well (i am a bit behind), it was magnificent, especially thanks to this interview haha. I'm a big fan of your more secretive podcast (Don't wanna tip off the stone stazi), I hope you'll never stop doing those poddies. I find them not only entertaining, it helps me relax as well. Give Wolfy a big hug from a distant fan, please.
I learned a while ago that it's an exercise in futility to try to explain Brian Blessed. Much like the mountains he loves climbing, he's just a gigantic force of nature. Indomitable, unstoppable, and looks good in photos.
But ruins most shows he's on. It's tiresome after while to me.
We love you Rich and very happy that you look healthy.
Would you rather go to a casino with Ed Gamble, or to a foundry with James Acaster?
Foundry. Acaster. Every time.
A casino with Gamble. Foundries stink like farts, are hot as hell, and have no alcohol. Casinos stink like cigarettes, but are air conditioned and have free alcohol.
Ed would be so much fun at a casino
Fishing with Herring.
Wow! Ed and James must have very powerful agents if they were able to negotiate 52 minutes before talking about Taskmaster!
It's so funny (and sad) to me that James found out via the newspaper that Mr Bean stole his girlfriend
i was listening to off menu the other day and they said we don't talk about mr. bean and now i know
Will the videos of the most recent RHLSTP episodes be uploaded at some point?
The three of them all seem like good mates and have a great dynamic. Honestly I think that they should get a podcast together because the chemistry is so funny. Definitely one of my favourite podcast episodes.
Glad you looking well Richard as well.
The podcast called "Lacking a ball and a foreskin"
@@DomenBremecXCVI "Two and a half cocks" has a nice ring to it.
And as someone who loves all of their podcasts, I'd definitely listen.
Dan Ackroyd only talks about two things on podcasts- his alien-themed vodka and aliens. Definitely steer him towards aliens if you can.
and his vintage police motorcycle.
I think those Alagash boys really did see something
Peter Bayhhams glee at the passing of RHs grandfather is possibly the most touching things ever ❤
When do people use these questions? There was someone on Come Dine With Me who used a few ( uncredited) on her guests.
Thrilled to have a ticket to the gig on 13th September at Leicester Square - our Richard Herring, Tim Keys and yayee David Mitchell. Fabulous and so so happy I came across this notion on TH-cam therefore very happy for this channel (thank you in advance Mr Herring!) In relation to this, well, Jame Acaster on form as ever and brilliant. And Mr Herring, if there is a new series of Taskmaster I SO hope that you will be on it.
Woweewow - totally paying for that. I've been hoping Tim Key and Harry Hill would do one for ages + Bob Mortimer is my favourite human being.
Vic n Bob's big night out....
Bang bang its Reeves and Mortimer
29:27 Rich, you're describing the Doughboys podcast!
Me: Wow richard herring's being very forward with these questions about their hypothetical relationship
Herring: I just finished listening to off menu episode 100
Me: ah, now it makes sense
Straight into the top ten rhlstps I reckon
If only Natalie Wood had gone for walk with Tom Cruise instead of a cruise with Christopher Walken
Yikes
There’s no way Richard wrote that question without that in mind…
I think this is the funniest one yet. I think maybe riffing with a double act really helps. Taskmaster alumni!
That was brilliant. Thank you Richard.
Well, thank you for that!
Richard's taking over Hypothetical here haha
2 Taskmaster champions..... and also James Acaster
To think Dave Grohl could have been on Off Menu. This would have been perfection. This has to happen.
I want a Grohl RHLSP now.
It happens!!
One of the best rhlstp ever
Hilarious , thankyou , needed that :-)
Glad to see you looking healthy Richard.
Okay, we're trapped in this lodge until we get rescued, IF we get rescued and I don't want to be the doomsayer here but it's not looking likely. But I have this book to pass the time! First question! WOULD YOU RATHER eat someone, or be eaten?
Be eaten, as long as I'm dead beforehand. Let my body nourish those who are willing to sup on human meat, because I'm not one of them.
Yet another addition to the list of people James looks like a young version of; Adrian Edmonson
That was brutal with the girlfriend stealing conquest, haha, excellent!
Ed just casually showing James where he's allowed to sit, there...
I think we all know why
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 why?
@@aislingbolton793 pretty sure my comment was referencing the “postman & letterbox” bit of the video later on
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 ah I get you! Thanks 😅🤣
does anyone know what the audience member who apologised to ed shouted initially?
Starters or desserts, I think
My lines in there entirety were as follows.
“Starters or desserts?”
“Dessert”
“I’m not sorry Ed”
I was endeavouring to be loud and clear, regrettably I only managed loud (and aggressive apparently).
@@simonrobson1242 😆 thanks, makes sense now!
Great interview, but why was it filmed on the set of Dr.Who? 🧐
ah jaysus lads. I'm very excited
anyone got details of where Stewart said he didn't rate Richard's comedy?
Stewart wanted to focus more on stand up they did have a falling out but Stewart has actually been on this podcast a couple of times. There is a piece in the guardian about double acts that talks about it.
That has got to be John Robins laughing at 49:12
Sounds like it!!
I always thought that room was in the roof, but there's a door.
Life would be a worse place if we lost Richard Herring. One of the hardest working men in show business.
This is excellent
they completely overlooked rikki lake in the swimming options, which i am not all that happy about...
Would you rather go down a river with River Phoenix or be sold by Steve Merchant ?
I'd rather go walkin' with Joaquin Phoenix.
At 29:00 he’s just talking about Doughboys
Martin Short and Steve Martin waited way to long for their double act....i'm glad James and Ed got in on it 3 decades earlier ;)
I only just found "Off Menu", it's very funny.
"If your currently partner was going to leave you for a world famous.. HAHAHA OH NO. Poor James ! He handled that so well haha. If anyone has seen James stand up specials you know this would of cut like a knife even though he laughed it off lol..
Oh dear I really hope we do get a rhlstp with Bo Burnham! Feat. Ally and Socko!
Describe Bo Burnham's face in 3 words that don't include 'Featureless', 'Cream' or 'Oval'.
This was so much fun - a funny conversation with funny people. Meanwhile, at 45:48 - the Richard E. Grant mystery continues.
I was there, apparently RichardEG passed wind on stage and then followed through. He was so embarrassed and made RH promise it would never be shown or referenced. One of Richard's regular guests in the front row caught a poo pebble and vomited.
Ed fucking GOT you Richard. ahaha
this feels so passive aggressive and i don't know how to feel hahahahahaa
54:27 the face of a gleeful, naughty imp
The best part is when the 2 turn on Richard together at the end..
I've not been in many lories either but that's mostly to do with the Lorie's I've tried to get in. James, with the silly, lovely that he just let that sit... Or had no idea of the comedy gold he dropped... Hmmm which was it?
Is there ever a time when James Acaster isn’t the funniest in the room?
There are at least moments - usually easy to recognize by him laughing too hard to give any answer like at 39:30.
At Sean Lock's funeral. On every QI episode. A middling open-mic in Mansfield. Yeah, loads.
As Greg Davies once said: That's a funny boy!
Only on the latest off menu with bob mortimer, that's the only time
when he supported Stewart Lee in Putney.
Will there be a metric edition of the book? Is Infinity Meters taller than Infinity Feet?
As long as there is a bijective mapping between the two, they should be the same size.
Foreshadowing Taskmaster Champion of Champions here. Nice. Especially Ed saying, he did "brilliant" on the tasks. I bet one little rubber ducky begs to differ...
would you rather gamble, with ed gamble or bet with bette midler?
James Acasters eyebrows are magnificent
Have Stewart Lee n herring actually fallen out then? Has Lee been throwing shade at Herring of late?
Richard’s obit photo definitely that one in a suit, looking chubby with Julia Sawalha.
Looking good Richard
31:25 - why does Ed call James Matt?
I think he calls him “man” and truncates the end of the syllable with the glottal sound at the start of the following ‘I’.
"I hope I've helped you with your project, I got cancer, goodbye!" 27:43
Rest in peace Sean Lock
absolutely gutted.
I had NO IDEA he had cancer... Him and Jon were my absolute favorite part of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. His series 15 storeys high was just great and an underrated show. There is only a handful of comedians who can genuinely make me laugh, and Sean was one of them. He will definitely be missed... RIP
Damn dude, I had no idea. What a tremendous loss...
Are the new RHLSTP's going to be put up on TH-cam?
Don't think so. The live stream is raising money for charity and it's only £25 for all of them (if you become a badger for £3 a month). And the audio will go out for free as usual.
Not for people that use apostrophes in plurals.
@@billthornton6281 Apostrophes are frequently used in British English to mark plurals in acronyms.
I like the fucking about in this one.
Nice and cringey. Class.
I can't get into audio-only podcasts :(
Dan Ankryod has his own podcast you would think he would know the etiquette. I'm sorry to hear that it was such a disaster.
Obviously, the right answer to which comedian would you like your girlfriend to leave you for is Stuart Lee
rest in peace ed gamble
luscious locks
Going on a cruise with Tom cruise all day
If you want a Mr. Creosote-style food podcast, you should try The Doughboys Podcast with Mike Mitchell and Nick Weiger!
P.s. is James getting fitter with every episode he comes onto RHLSTP??
If you fantasize about James Acaster being your boyfriend, you might want to take a pass on this. If you fantasize about him being your son, though, it's juicy. Stop worrying that he's starving, lonely, or overworked. See that he's on his way to being healthy and happy. We're talking grandchildren inside the decade, ladies. Primo.
This comment is such an expert combo of creepy and wholesome that I have to respect it.
What does the audience member ask at 1:06:33?
Sounds like an in-joke with James and Ed, but I can't tell what he's shouting.
starter or dessert. a reference to off menu
@@gi6568 Ah, thank you
Have you tried an Alice band, Richard?
Hair care routine video, Richard. Come on. We need to know.
I shampoo it
@@Herring1967 Noted. And whilst I've got your attention, thank you for everything you do - you've got me through some dark times!
I must say that the only boat I'd want to be stuck on with Tom Cruise would be the Titanic... Come on genies let's make that happen!
So you would be willing to sacrifice your life to "free the world" from Tom Cruise?
@@ironwhy
Any f-in time! Ha, sure that day I guess I was?
i like your dedication and sense of humour.
why do they have the same hair cut?
I wonder if james could tie his laces any tighter?
I love it when Rich's guests take the piss out of him for his mean spirited trolling. He always pretends it's not happening, but he squirms, as he should, and backs off for awhile.Then goes back to picking at things his guest feels bad about. Rachel Parris and Sarah Millican are also good at calling him out.
The piss taking (both ways I hope) is a sign of affection and respect and not mean spirited. The fact I only do it with certain guests is a compliment to them and I am nearly always the main victim of the joke in any case. So I think this is a misread of the comedy in these situations. It is fun, however, to do an interview that isn't a complete suck up to the guest and where failures are discussed as well as successes. I think it works because my career has had many failures. But I do agree, setting up the guests to be rude back to me (Sarah Millican doesn't seem to need any excuse) is one of the highlights of the podcast.
ILRHLSTP ❤️
Dan Aykroyd was such a bad guest on Offmenu, that I will never buy his drink.
Play wack a mole with joaquin phoenix
0. Great episode, but James Acaster jokes about Rich's thinly-veiled tweets (I didn't verify whether they exist) and Stew googling himself were hilarious.
1. Stew is a great comedian, and he is still one of the very best, but I don't understand why he's decided that he doesn't like Richard anymore. It's too immature and stupid. He should ask to get on RHLSTP to promote his film (King Rocker). It's completely silly that he's suddenly appearing on every obscure podcast in the world except the one hosted by his old comedy partner.
2. I was thrilled when Richard won Taskmaster, and I hope he does more TV as a panelist/participant.
3. The one place where I assume I agree with Stew (re. Richard) is that I think Richard is perhaps spreading himself a bit too thin and hasn't been honing/crafting/polishing/refining his stand-up shows as much as he could. The ideas for Richard's shows are often great, and I think with more work perhaps some of them can be turned into masterpieces.
--
On a separate note: when Richard started releasing "Retro RHLSTP", my astonishment kept growing week-by-week when the Prof. Mary Beard episode failed to appear. Finally, it came out a few weeks ago. I hope she makes it back to RHLSTP again soon, and I hope some more non-comedians (e.g., Prof. Andrew George) are also invited.
--
Sorry for the long comment and I hope I haven't offended anyone.
I totally apply myself to stand up shows and put an awful lot of work into them and hone them over the tour as well. If you don't like them by the end of that then it's not due to lack of me trying. I think they're pretty good myself, but 1000s of hours of work go into each one. The internet stuff is nearly all improvised so that's a different matter.
Sooooooo anyone wanna fill me in on who James' ex ran off with?
Hmm, I don't think James and Ed are two metres apart. And I'm going to tell on them. Hum.
omg
Wow. Just listened to the Dan Aykroyd podcast. It seems the secret to his inimitable dead pan delivery is a total lack of a sense of humour, unless that's a recent development.
Tbf, he has really quite severe Aspergers so it’s likely a product of that. The first draft of The Blues Brothers script was apparently 10+ hours long to give you a sort of idea of how it manifests in him
