| 0:14.4 | Hello, Stue here. This isn't an ad. This is me telling you that you have got to get hold of a copy of Adam Blooms book, Finding Your Comic Genius. It's just so great, and I want everyone to buy it for everyone else for Christmas. We discuss it in detail on episode 437 and at the time of recording this it has 66 five-star reviews out of 66 reviews on Amazon. |
| 0:21.2 | So go and find Adam Blooms book, repeat. This is not an ad and I'm not |
| 0:24.7 | being remunerated. Or remunerated. I can now book your train tickets on Uber and get 10% back in |
| 0:39.4 | Uber credits to spend on your next train journey. So no excuses not to visit your in-laws this |
| 0:45.1 | Christmas. Trains, now on Uber. Tees and sees apply. Check the Uber app. |
| 0:53.0 | This is a podcast from comedians comedian.com. This is the Comedians comedian podcast. did as I've as much research before this interview as I've done before any of the interviews |
| 1:24.1 | that I've had on the show, partly because Richard has created so much work and I wanted to be |
| 1:29.2 | well versed, but primarily because I was a huge fan of his as an adolescent and consequently was super nervous |

| 1:39.3 | sort of weird totemic reflection of who I once used to be. So I was a bit giddy before the |
| 1:44.0 | interview. I think I dreamt about it the previous night. I certainly woke up |
| 1:47.4 | thinking about it, which isn't like me at all. As many of you will know, I'm |
| 1:50.9 | normally one of those kind of badass-ass couldn't give a fuck. |
| 1:53.8 | Road warriors, very unlikely to be nervous. |
| 1:56.1 | Anyway, the reason I'm highlighting some nerves which I otherwise largely manage to hide |
| 2:00.7 | is to excuse the inexcusable fact of which I'm terribly embarrassed that a couple of minutes |
| 2:05.1 | into the show I actually forgot the name of writer Alan Moore. |
| 2:08.8 | He's one of my favorite writers and comic writers. |
| 2:11.4 | I didn't just forget his name, I panicked and I think I referred to him as the watchman guy |
| 2:15.9 | And this is the sort of thing that's gonna make future stew very cross and ashamed and I tried to edit it out |
| 2:21.7 | But I was prevented by journalistic integrity and a lack of skill |
| 2:25.5 | And it's also made worse by the fact that Richard Herrig sort of says |
