Absolutely love Sara's appearances on RHLSTP. She's intelligent, eloquent, thoughtful, genuinely interested in things and therefore genuinely interesting. Good stuff.
OMFG Sara talking about guys trying pick ups. I think I tried 1 pick up EVER because it was what was expected. Nerves kept me away but also it was that kind of artificially created communication that felt creepy. That obligatory wealth flex too. Really appreciated hearing about how the experience was for Sara.
Hans Zimmer did do theme tune for Go-ing for Gold. He was happy to get the work at the time as a new composer but not, apparently, as happy as Richard was watching the show.
I remember Carmela Soprano talking about Creme Anglais once and after that I assumed all Americans say that instead of custard, then I had an American girlfriend for a time and she called it custard. Then again, rewatching the Sopranos recently I've come to realise the dialogue is at least 80% about food.
Fun fact: I went to The Castle School in Thornbury, Gloucs, with both Joel Dommett and John Robins, year (or 2 years?) below and year above respectively.
I'm a bloke, and an old woman said "Cheer up, it might never happen" to me when I was walking home from the doctor's after being diagnosed with diabetes.
Being a sensitive, positivity spreading kinda guy I’ve always kept one thing about this show to myself. I don’t like the theme music. Never have. However, played at 1.25 speed... it’s amazing! And then 0.75 is even better again. Is there any chance it’s just been played at the wrong speed all this time just to fit a certain amount of credits in?
As talented as Sara Pascoe is as a comedian, (and she's often the best thing in anything she appears in, 'Taskmaster', 'Mock The Week' and the Frankie Boyle shows just examples...) as a Social Psychologist, (which she technically isn't?) she's an absolute revelation. So intelligent, empathetic, knowledgeable, caring, funny, educational, positive, kind and just really, really interesting to listen to. A lot of professionals in the field of psychology (quite properly) don't deem it necessary to include personal experience or perceived truth/opinion into a presented discourse, and reading/listening to SP you kind of wonder why they don't??? (To say I have a MASSIVE CRUSH on her now might possibly demean or even negate any previous compliment... But I don't care. She's amazing.) xx SF
Alright so I've just been looking, and I believe she may have mixed up the last names and I think it is this book. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9781451683400?gC=5a105e8b&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInojiiKeP6gIVDMKyCh3rAA_3EAYYAiABEgI1s_D_BwE
Richard says ther wasn't any pornography in the 80's and 90's Molly Ivins talks about a free speech activist attending a meeting to discuss a new dirty bookstore proposed in Austin Texas, people were opposed to masturbation, and he rose and said he grew up in a house diagonally behind the site and between him and his brother there was always a significant amount of masturbation in that part of town.
I'm a man, I get random people asking me what I'm reading, men and women. I think some people are fascinated by the idea of reading, as a weird thing other people do.
Or they don't think it's weird, are readers themselves and they're interested in what you're reading because they might like it. Kind of a reader to reader thing.
@Liam Hughes I guess they mentioned genders because it was also mentioned in the video when talking about that. While it was corrected to it being both men and women, Sara did initially start by saying it was men coming up and asking. That's my guess anyway. :-)
Definitely happens to everyone. The key lesson would be that, if that person doesn’t seem like they want an in depth conversation about it, the questioner should move on. It’s all good, we can still ask another person on another day. And some days I really want people to ask me. Not often though, I’m very shy in real life.
I am not sure why Richard thinks when men do this, it’s about power, or abuse of power. Powerful men aren’t trying to chat up women at bus stops asking what book they are reading.
If you watch the Collings/Herrin extra to Oh F I'm 40, Richard ADMITS that he piles up change on his table and uses it to impress girls with. The story here is clearly the full truth.
A rant - Sara here describes a male teenager getting off to pornography is actually watching 'just a naked woman'. Well that's blatantly fucking horseshit. The insane stuff which is at the fingertips of kids is fucking insane. The effect of tacky US pornography is already having its effect on society - look at the state of Love Island. What it's doing to a generation of kids and what they think men and women's faces/bodies/genitals are supposed to look like, and what should happen during sex is frankly fucked up.
weird me out there Richard, I'm busy watching a Qi with Sara Pascoe and BEEP at 2112 local Denver time you pop up with Sara on my Feed. Qi was prerecorded some time i dunno, last year, so I'll watch this freshly captured and broadcast item before finishing my other entree, everyone loves fresh better than reheated leftovers.
@RIXRADvidz FYI, this was recorded last year as well, October I think as he mentioned it in Tim Minchin's podcast from before this...err...last week. ;-)
@@nagualdesign No woman i know(i asked one while writing) would love a random stranger finding out where they live and contacting them based on a crush from seeing them on youtube, that would be pretty scary in fact....the finding out where they live being the main issue/problem/source of worry. I mean, i dont think this is a grey area at all.
@@liamhughes1532 That's the point they're trying to make, as Sara Pascoe discusses it here. That it's fucked up and weird. Did you even watch the video?!
Richard, can you ask Sara or Tim what the booklet on free will is called. I'd love to read it. I've thought for a long time our brain is just a series of learned reactions to stimulus and free will isn't really free.
Sara, I disagree, please bring more of your knowledge and intelligence to your standup too, not just your books! Personally, I love listening to it |:)
What Sara says about boys/men being told to just go up to a person and have a funny line ready is so true. I grew up in the 80's/90's and at that time it was still very much EXPECTED of the boy/man to "take the first step". I always found that incredibly stupid and honestly quite terrifying. I am very introverted and shy and the sheer thought of just chatting to a girl/woman made me feel uncomfortable. Of course, it got a bit better for me over time, but I still think this expectation of the boy/man HAVING to take the first step and the girl/woman getting annoyed when he doesn't ("I have been sending out SO MANY signals, why doesn't he ask me out??") is stupid. Not only puts it pressure on men, it also tells women that they can't be in control, but just have to sit there passively. And we also tell boys/men "you just have to be persistent", completely undermining that "No" means "No".
I don't care if you're a man or a woman, if you've had sex with someone else you should either wash yourself or disclose it before you have sex with a different partner. It isn't a feminist issue, it's a hygiene and consent issue.
I genuinely think that the throwing money part of this is a case of mistaken identity. Because I can think of proper arsehole comedians from the 80's and/or 90's that I reckon would do something like that. And someone in the business just misidentified Richard as the culprit due to maybe similar personas. Maybe the person involved was shall we say a bit er... 'wasted' at the time? And thought it was Richard whereas it was this other comedian.
no, I think it came from a joke I did with an ex where I said it would be funny to make love on a bed full of my scope collection after a gig, rather than the more traditional loads of notes. then gets exaggerated and reported as fact not joke!
Machynlleth isn't pronounced McCunt-lith. But it should be. Sex is a well trodden path for comedy. It gets boring quickly if it's your only joke. *Edit. The last sentence above is my subjective opinion.
Thanks for the comedy lesson Lee. You have much wisdom to teach two comedians with about 50 years of experience between them (in comedy and sex). No boring subjects, just boring takes. Well trodden paths still havs surprises but you have to work harder to find them. All just doing what we can.
@@emilysherratt623 You don't have to laugh. And not touchy at all. Just pointing out that he's trying to explain how comedy works to two long-serving professionals.
At about the 1:06 mark Richard manages to make one of the dumbest generalizations and while pissing and moaning about generalizations and stereotypes. American comedians are all sexist & racists? His examples are Korean comedians making fun of their parents which he then calls Chinese a second later and then a female comedian complaining about men. I don't want to personally attack Richard, but what a fucking idiotic statement. I see plenty of racists, sexist shit in British comedy all the time. I usually roll my eyes and remember it was a much simpler time all the way back in the mid to late 00's.
Absolutely love Sara's appearances on RHLSTP. She's intelligent, eloquent, thoughtful, genuinely interested in things and therefore genuinely interesting. Good stuff.
I am 100% with you on that.
Could happily listen to Sara for hours.
Sara is just unbelievably incredible. One the best RHLSP’s ever.

30:30 may be the peak of RHLSTP
Saw this comment, found myself crying a bit laughing, checked the time, yup.
Can't say how much I love Sra Pasco
Just marking 30:30 for posterity.
I always suspected he was a coin tosser. 💰
@@nagualdesign no need for "coin" in this sentence
Tim Minchin and Sara Pascoe in under a week . Sweet as.
Hans Zimmer did do theme tune for Go-ing for Gold. He was happy to get the work at the time as a new composer but not, apparently, as happy as Richard was watching the show.
Sara Pascoe is the most generous human being! So thoughtful and kind.
Sarah is awesome, this podcast was really informative and funny.
Disappointed there aren't a load of episodes of Going for Gold showing up in the recommended videos after watching this one.
Best woman ever. Hoorah for Sarah. x
Fun Fact: Here in France, when someone says they want some 'Creme Anglais', they really do just mean Custard!
I remember Carmela Soprano talking about Creme Anglais once and after that I assumed all Americans say that instead of custard, then I had an American girlfriend for a time and she called it custard.

Yes I had to Google it. Hans is one of my fav composers.
Felt soo perculiar to find that out!
Was he much around in 80's European TV shows?
Thank you.
Imagine turning up on a blind date and it's Sara Pascoe! that would be an amazing date!
...and this one has the first time, I've seen RH looked genuinly shocked, when Sara asks that rumour question....
At the start my Siri cut in and asked what I wanted 🤣
I'm a bloke, and an old woman said "Cheer up, it might never happen" to me when I was walking home from the doctor's after being diagnosed with diabetes.
perhaps but it is extremely unlikely that time travel or a cure for stupidity will be invented
@@tr3vk4m Do you mean I'm stupid, or the old woman?
I've had women say this to me aswell, not even that old. Seems like a control thing like sara was talking about.
Sweet!!.Long live RHLSTP ☠☠☠
Actually I'd be interested to know if Sara Pascoe is ever mistaken for the Australian singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko? One for next time, Rich!
Rob Brydon doing his own crowd work is a nice little anecdote, he seems like a very nice man.
Can't remember which female comedian yelled out Dickie Kipper's cell number in his edinborough show because they were breaking up.
Been eagerly waiting for this one 😀
I don't know which one keeps interrupting which one!
12:03 "Why've you got your hand on your face?" Sara was prepared for the Coronavirus outbreak months before any of us.
another day of RHLSTPs :) omg i'm nearly all caught up!!!
Being a sensitive, positivity spreading kinda guy I’ve always kept one thing about this show to myself. I don’t like the theme music. Never have.

And then 0.75 is even better again.
Is there any chance it’s just been played at the wrong speed all this time just to fit a certain amount of credits in?
Richard is the only British comic who can’t do a Billy Connolly impression.
