Thanks for the recommendation - just listened and she’s great! Now going to listen to her 2nd episode from last week.
100%. Not a chance Josh isn't hovering around now.I whole heartedly believe Josh will have stress read this whole thread since that recording
The Solomon-Swashes, Hinches, Judds etc could learn a lot from these guys about not using their kids as cash cows!!!Me too, but I really want to see Josh's LBs man bun
Yes!!!Me too, but I really want to see Josh's LBs man bun
P.S I know this isn't a HISMB thread, but people who were influenced to listen from reading about it here, what are your thoughts?
I know only certain people can set up threads - I think depending on how old your account is? I’m happy to set a non rave one up if people who would like one are unable to !
I don't think it's Robs ego in the slightest. He has mentioned in the past that he's had the fear that this could all end for him tomorrow so he has previously taken on as much work as he can so that he has future security. He also admitted he's been able to ease himself away from that mindset slightly and doesn't say yes to absolutely everything now. The reason they're probably on TV so much just now is a new season of Rob and Romesh and having to "do the rounds" for it. Also, he filmed something recently that looked like it was a Christmas special. I'm guessing he can't dictate other shows schedules
Agree. Yes they earn very well but anyone in that industry is not on a permanent contract with the securities to go along with it. Of course as long as they are careful they should be set for life but it must be stressful. Also the fear of no longer being relevant if you disappear for too long must be strong. So I can understand why they take on too much work when it is available, the same as any other self employed personI don't think it's Robs ego in the slightest.

Off topic but I read Rylan's autobiography, and after his marriage breakdown he took a lot of time off work to work through his mental health. He talks about being very grateful that Radio 2 (specifically) waited so long for him to come back. I thought it was quite interesting. Don't get me wrong, it's hard to "feel sorry for them" potentially having a shelf life given the figures they're paid, but as you say, it's no different to another self employed person. Granted it may be more money than a businessman, but it's a worry I don't have as an employed person. They also have the risk of simply saying something wrong. For example the whole Alison Hammond theatre thing over the weekend (this is not said to get into a debate about it just as an example), she said her opinion, got backlash, apologised and it looks to be all OK. Something COULD be said where an apology isn't enough. Boom. It's all over. Not that I expect that from Rob and Josh but you never know...
I doubt it will be a buzzing thread. That's for sure.
I love just listening to them chat they just seem like people I'd love to spend time with.
I have no idea what they earn but I think they both know that saying no to work could mean other comedians leap frogging them and being asked first next time etc and then what. Stress and tiredness is relative to the individual and just because there are worse off people doesn't mean they don't have feelings.
