Met Mr Byrne once up here in Edinburgh back in the days I worked in security, I can honestly say that he's a lovely chap and very humble. I love Rob's interview style too, why hasn't he got a chat show on tv yet? Seems a decent bloke as well ❤❤
Ed Byrne such a funny man! A favorite of mine! Thanks Rob for having him on. Just a tip -Rob, you have such a relaxed laid back voice, love listening to you - just be nearer your mike or have volume up slightly.
I wonder does Ed still have the magnificent, dark green, velvet jacket he wore at the inaugural Moosehead Awards at the Melbourne Comedy festival in (I think) 1991. I'm a year younger than him and have followed him ever since, mostly because of the laughs but a little because of that jacket 😆.
Can't speak for Melbourne but think I remember seeing that jacket. It was around that time when I became a fan and have been ever since. Although I'm a year older than him, so we make the bread in a green velvet jacket sandwich.
Rob is such a great interviewer. Don't get me wrong, his guests are also incredible, including Ed. But I think I could probably listen to Rob interview anyone and still be absolutely spellbound. They say good socializers know how to make everyone around them see them as the most interesting person in the room. Great socializers make everyone around them feel as though THEY are the most interesting person in the room. Rob is so gracious and enthusiastic and playful and genuinely interested that he can make everyone around him seem extremely interesting. His enthusiam and curiousity is spellbinding and contagious, and even I feel more excited about life any time I get to listen to him. I'm so grateful that I am lucky enough to live in a day where I have access to this amazing content. Not to leave Ed out, I love the vulnerability and wisdom that he is sharing here, and I also love how entertaining he can make it when he tells these stories. I absolutely love his self-deprecating humor and the fact tha the doesn't take himself so seriously. And I also love how he also turns that interest that Rob is showing him back to Rob. A great interview. Thank you to those who made this possible.
@@johnman559 Personally I'd rather live life giddy, appreciating amazing people and amazing experiences to the fullest. I know it's not for everyone, and I used to hold that part of myself back for fear of being judged, but to be honest I have been much happier ever since I have allowed that part of my personality to be itself. So I certainly don't expect a single other human being to be giddy and don't judge them for that, but listening to this interview really did add great energy to my day, and I am not ashamed that I expressed my genuine enjoyment and gratitude for that.
Ed Byrne is hilarious, i got several of his dvds and cds - his storytelling and building on comic moments is fantastic. Also, you two work really well together - wish you'd collaborate on something!
Loved Ed's country ramble videos, he should have carried on with those as he brought out the best in his guests. Consistently brilliant on MTW too, of course.
Rob, I love your work, and all the content you produce for us to view here, but please get an audio guy. I still really enjoy your videos, but they would be so much more enjoyable if I didn't have to constantly ride my volume control, haha. Some simple compression would help.
I could be wrong, but I think it's because he is using a directlonal microphone, and it's pointed in the wrong direction (i.e. NOT towards his mouth). 15:22 is a good shot of both of them and where their mikes are pointed.
Totally agree! It's because he doesn't wear headphones, but his mic technique is terrible. Ed Byrne on this is clear and audible for the whole time as he knows he has to keep his position consistent - even though he isn't using headphones. Rob is miles away and the mic is pointing in opposite direction. Great content . . . but we have to be able to hear it.
Not yet started the vid.. just figured I’d open by saying how on earth have Ed and Dara not done a one man/two man show together yet? They’re been on the comedy circuit for ages! On with the show.. Much love ❤️
I designed and produced corporate shows for 20 years. I hated when clients wanted comics. It almost never worked. Watching a talented comic die in front of 200 hungover sales reps at 9 in the morning is brutal.
As a middle child, completely agree with Ed. Eldest is treated with "well we don't know how to raise one, let's let this one run freely". Middle child is treated with "well we were too free-wheeling with the last one, keep an eye on this one. And if this isn't the last one, then they'll have a babysitter we don't pay and a snitch we'll pay anything" Last child is treated "ehhhh whatever. Let's not get too tied up in restrictions or guidelines"
Excellent as ever. Funny to hear you talk about corporate events. I saw you both hosting the same event (CIR Awards) but some years apart. You were both great. But I can understand how they could tricky.
Such a shame that whoever produced this interview, has used microphone setup totally unsuited to both talents. Why not use lavs instead and leave Rode mics as props? You have 2 extremely funny guys who are known to be expressive, gesticulate, move around etc. Those 88 quid microphones would probably work if both Rob and Ed were wearing headphones. I know that Rob has got a pair of proper IEM's as he used them to monitor when recording from home. Even someone who talks to microphone for the first time would instinctively move closer to the microphone noticing drop in volume level. We have two experienced artists who talk for a living, including one voice-over pro who definitely knows what microphone technique is. Apart from this, I really loved the interview :)
I wonder what has been their weirdest corporate gig client? You know, the ones that make you think 'this actually exists?' eg. The Mushroom and Biomass pickers and producers Union for a wild guess. I made them up obv. but I do wonder...
0:35 - I have a second hand Elvis story myself .... After doing his comeback shows in Vegas Elvis got asked in an interview "... but isn't it all a bit tacky ?" The King paused before replying " ... yeah ... I'm really into tack."
and hey, Brydon ! You're the kind of of Uncle I'd like to have, but seeing as I'm fifty years old already I'd say we left it a bit late. What can'ya do ? Cheers!
I think you're wrong there Rob about place in the family. The last born always has an easier path because the mother always knows that child is last. They are often then bestowed with the greatest amount of love from their mother, and all other siblings. They become spoiled and by nature are more naturally driven to rise to the top by any means as their feeling of being a stand-alone character is instilled. Of course, they are always underpinned by constant familial love.
Hello Rob. Great Show. Ed Byrne and Dara O'Brien are the un-funniest men in comedy. Turn off the sound and watch them struggling. The audio issues are a pain in the back side though. My mum is from Pontypridd, let me do the audio mixing of the podcast. I work in Reaper and Sequoia. (As Michael Caine) I will do you proud me old son.
if you do a gig for a bunch of sales people, i have a suggestion that will break the ice. It's a true story and one i won't give away without payment, so have them contact me.
the only drawback one can make on a video like this is that ed byrne is so funny and makes it look so easy that every single tom mick and paddy take the mick and tink they themselves are funny like their man...and they are not
Dont think I've ever laughed once at mock the week. Granted I've only ever given it 5 mins an switch over. All rehearsed lefty liberal rubbish. Dosn help with two Irish guys on it. Not anti Irish now as I'm Irish meself.
@@mikeyk212 because this guy is trained by actual fascists to spread their viewpoints. My being an asshole to him is nothing compared to the damage his ideology does to the planet and every living thing in it. Shame has always been a useful weapon to keep destructive urges at bay in the general population. Sadly, when people in the ruling class saw some pushback to their self satisfying appetites, they decided to call the natural instinct to put bad people in their place Cancel Culture. And of course liberals would run with it, being fascists' little errand boys. Seriously read what this guy wrote. He doesn't even understand what he hates but he knows he's supposed to hate it.
@@mikeyk212 Ireland was freed from the clutches of empire by Socialists. They died bringing our people control of our own destiny. This man would bring back the monarchy
@@mikeyk212 how is it you propose to deal with people like him? Disabusing brainwashed goons through the power of love is a far more emotionally demanding tack than using their ignorance against them and hammering home how their blanket ignorance isn't exactly conducive to a broad understanding of global politics. Anyone who conflates liberals and leftists needs de programming. Better to let them know that they're operating with faulty machinery and hope they do something to fix it

Always enjoyed Ed Byrne on TV panel shows. Brilliant to see he is touring a new show.

Unlike some other Irish comedians who are massive cunts 😂 I won't name names
Ed Byrne was the first comedian I ever saw live (back in 2007, when I was 18) and is basically the guy who got me into comedy.
Ed Byrne such a funny man! A favorite of mine! Thanks Rob for having him on. Just a tip -Rob, you have such a relaxed laid back voice, love listening to you - just be nearer your mike or have volume up slightly.
Yes! The levels are fine, he just gradually edged that bit too far back for those Rode Podmics.

Ed Byrne has the secret of looking the same if not better the older he gets..nearing 50 suits him and he's still funny too.. Yay!
It's nearly 1am, here in New Zealand but as tomorrow is a public holiday, I'll stay up some longer, as I know it'll be worth it 😀
Happy Easter if you celebrate it. If not, happy extended weekend 🤣❤😁
I'm also in New Zealand, watching this at 3am...

Ed always has such a great energy. Love to watch/listen to him

A lot of the content made during lockdown independently was better than the normal shit
Loved Ed since seeing the Pedantic & Whimsical show on DVD. Great chat between Ed & Rob!

Can I kindly ask about Richard Osman?? I completely admire him.
I designed and produced corporate shows for 20 years. I hated when clients wanted comics. It almost never worked. Watching a talented comic die in front of 200 hungover sales reps at 9 in the morning is brutal.
I was playing music at an event Ed was at and he borrowed my mic stand. He was a very nice fella
Right on! My favorite Irish comedian with hair!
Saw Ed on tour last month, one of , if not the funniest shows I’ve seen too date 👍🇮🇲
As a middle child, completely agree with Ed.
Eldest is treated with "well we don't know how to raise one, let's let this one run freely".

"I'm an observational comic." 😂😂😂
Good chemistry lads, do it again sometime
TRULY love your interviews!!!!! KEEP IT UP ❤❤
Really interesting to hear about the business of comedy. The observation about being the only stranger at a corporate event - fabulous
Good comics are almost like philosophers
Excellent as ever. Funny to hear you talk about corporate events. I saw you both hosting the same event (CIR Awards) but some years apart. You were both great. But I can understand how they could tricky.
I listened to the podcast first & had to come here just to see Ed's shirt! I'm so happy Ed is touring now. Enjoyed this very much ❤
Yes, that is a great observation about corporate events by Ed.
These just get better and better. 👍❤️
Ed is old...11 days older than me. I love hill walking!
Cheers to you fine gentlemen.

That's very technical.. The sound was defo a bit weird but still enjoyable i thought.
Ed always cheers.
Oh yes!! Loved the zebra-crossing bit!!!
Great
Rob is a champion. I wish I could get him to record my answer phone message.
Ed Byrne is almost 50.. man, time flies
Ed is probably the funniest Irishman ever
You’ve come such a long way since your days as a traffic warden Rob! Keep up the great work! 👍
Carphone Warehouse did well, as his voice reminds me of them even more than Jonny Vegas reminds me of teabags
Rob's American accent is nearly perfect, minus using "fancy"
Think Rob got his Top Gear presenters mixed up - it was James May who wore the florid shirts!
So when does Ed bring his tour to Los Angeles?
cheers for uploading pet :)))
ED Bryce’s voice omg 😱
byrne...your man's name is *ED BYRNE*
I wonder what has been their weirdest corporate gig client? You know, the ones that make you think 'this actually exists?' eg. The Mushroom and Biomass pickers and producers Union for a wild guess. I made them up obv. but I do wonder...
Great interview but it’s bugging me that Brydon’s mic is off axis 🫣

Arggh he did his Michael Caine voice again! Why didn't he do his Michael Caine?

Slowing down, and pauses - the life rafts of d'orator.
Because the corporate-class are soulless vampires in need of staking
I havnt seen this guy since early 2000s. What year did he transition to being a man? xD
Why didn't Rob do his Michael Caine voice?
Because Steve Coogan got there first.
Erm...it's not really 'only on Spotify' though, is it?
I think there's a longer version that is.
Donna McPhail has let herself go...
One for the kids there!
the only drawback one can make on a video like this is that ed byrne is so funny and makes it look so easy that every single tom mick and paddy take the mick and tink they themselves are funny like their man...and they are not
Interesting that Ed appears uncomfortable and arms folded at the start of the chat .. .. ..just sayin' .. .. ..
