RHLSTP Book Club 151 - Rhys James

About this episode

RHLSTP Book Club #151 - You’ll Like It When You Get There - Rich is talking to comedian Rhys James about his surprisingly deep and thought-provoking book “You’ll Like It When You Get There.” They discuss how being pantsed at school has haunted Rhys’ life, why pdfs might not be the best format for books, how comedians often become comedians to control their embarrassment, how mortification can stop you riding a bike or going to an Italian restaurant, whether marriage serves any function other than to control the general population, whether Rhys’ neighbours are going to find out he’s written about them, why this is an interesting book to read in tandem with Ivo Graham’s, how Rich almost lost his virginity wearing pants his mum had bought for him, how reticence to get involved in stuff will only lead to regrets, the girl on the train who rich might have married, why people care less about you than you might think and comedy’s power to finally force you into joining in a bit. Maybe
