18.492 - 43.369 Russell Howard

On this episode of The Commercial Break. It says a lot about male ego, that I was kind of delighted. As in, I just can't imagine a world in which people are going, is there a girl you fancy but you feel fucking awful for admitting it? Do you know what I mean? That's the thing. But that would make the press. Like if people were saying that they...

43.349 - 49.933 Russell Howard

So, yeah, I was kind of I was essentially the nation's pity fuck. That's kind of what I was.

He is. He's the Robbie Williams.

Chapter 3: What insights does Russell provide about his comedy style and audience reactions?

78.414 - 90.906 Unknown

He's the Robbie Williams of comedy over there in the UK. And we're so excited to have him. Feeling very grateful that he's decided to stop by the commercial break because he's British and he doesn't know. He doesn't know that the commercial break is not a place you go.

91.882 - 93.384 Kristen Joy

If you're trying to get the word out.

0

93.424 - 109.57 Unknown

That's right. If you're trying to get the word out. But honestly, we've been grateful to have so many wonderful guests as of late. Roy Wood Jr., Felipe Esparza, so many that we can talk about. But go check out those episodes because they are doing very well, Chrissy, on the podcast.

Chapter 4: How does Russell Howard differentiate between British and American comedy?

109.55 - 110.671 Kristen Joy

Yeah, on the interwebs.

0

110.711 - 124.97 Unknown

On the interwebs. There you go. And who knows? Maybe we'll make a little news today with our good friend Russell Howard, currently on tour. He's going to be coming to the West Coast of the United States here very shortly. We'll put all the links in the show notes, as we always do. And his special is now out.

0

124.99 - 126.051 Kristen Joy

It's really funny, too.

0

126.071 - 127.212 Unknown

It is really funny.

127.253 - 128.414 Kristen Joy

Jeff was laughing, too.

0

128.574 - 140.679 Unknown

Oh, we've got Jeff laughing. Yes, Jeff was laughing. Then we know that we've hit on something special, because Jeff doesn't laugh. He's a humorless son of a bitch. Jeff is a humorless son of a bitch.

140.699 - 141.422 Kristen Joy

You hear me, Jeff?

0

142.405 - 148.163 Unknown

Loosen up, dude. Actually, Jeff's kind of like one of the loosest people I know. He's very loose.

0

Chapter 6: How does Russell reflect on his recognition as the UK's weirdest crush?

148.868 - 166.534 Unknown

When he gets his bell rung, there's no, don't tighten up, Mr. Green. No, he's loose. Ding dong. They go in there. They ring the door. They stick their hand in and they wave. They drop a package off and then they... Amazon comes in Jeff's door. That's all I got to say. That's how loosey-goosey he is. Anyway, Russell's going to be here.

Chapter 7: What challenges does Russell face when performing in the U.S.?

166.634 - 185.609 Unknown

And yeah, I'm very excited. Me too. Speaking of UK news, it seems that... That Meghan and Harry have done the right thing and they have postponed the much ballyhooed premiere of her, I don't know, cooking with Kate thing that's going on. Meghan. Meghan. I'm sorry. Cooking with Meghan.

0

186.51 - 188.652 Kristen Joy

Cooking with Kate. That's the other sister.

0

Chapter 8: What are Russell Howard's thoughts on the evolution of comedy in the UK?

188.672 - 191.615 Unknown

That's the other sister. Yeah. Cooking with Meghan.

0

192.716 - 195.479 Kristen Joy

Was it a cooking show or I guess like a lifestyle show?

0

195.579 - 199.744 Unknown

It was a lifestyle show, but I think you did it supposedly. Lifestyle. Lifestyle.

0

200.004 - 207.969 Kristen Joy

Yeah. If you want to get right with your lifestyle, check out Frankie V's new video. I wonder if she watched some of his episodes to get ready for it.

0

208.089 - 230.504 Unknown

Oh, listen. I'm sure that Meghan Markle is tuned right into Frank Bernardo. Bernardo. Bernardo. Even he says his name wrong. Bernardo. Bernardo. In the greater Chicagoland area. People, by the way, love Frankie B. I mean, every time we do an episode, we just get so much feedback about our Frankie B episodes. And I wish that there was more to do, but I think we've done run out.

230.545 - 231.146 Kristen Joy

He's got a girlfriend.

231.166 - 252.555 Unknown

He's got a girlfriend and she's not letting him anywhere near the YouTubes. But don't fear not. If you've heard any of Frankie's relationship advice, he'll soon be back to YouTube. At 72 years old. We didn't find his social media, so that's good. But actually, I applaud Megan on this one because apparently she called it a love letter to Southern California and all things wonderful.

252.776 - 275.331 Unknown

Listen, I personally... I think some of the content that they're producing for Netflix is a little tone deaf in general. But, okay, whatever. I mean, there's lots of cooking shows out there. And, you know, a lot of them focus on the higher end. What's that one? The Ina Garden? In the Garden? Ina? Ina Garden? There's Ina Garden. There's Martha Stewart. There's a whole channel now.

275.391 - 276.473 Unknown

A whole cooking channel.
