The reason he called her the wickedly talented was that she sang for Wicked. Great line up - an example of a non-comedian guest who can hold his own with the rest!
5:16 As a woman it never bothered me if men didn’t automatically offer me their seat. But as a young person with painful rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and feet, I do get bothered when I get attitude from older people who assume I’m healthy just because I’m young and not yet in a wheelchair, as if only they know what it’s like to hurt all over and struggle just to walk on certain days.
I have the same with autism, I can get overwhelmed and I really would like a seat at that point, so I don't get dizzy. Also, back in the day I was required heels/pretty shoes for work and my feet were hurting after standing on them for 12 hours, but even if I asked, nobody would give up their seat.
The three of them are hilarious, aren't they ? Roisin loving the car's lifestyle (the driving gloves) but leaving the gloves in the glove compound while driving, for exemple...
+Evilqueen Glad to see it wasn't just me that noticed that. I wear thriftshop-clothing and haven't been on a holiday (further than an hour from my house and not in another persons house to house-baby-sit) in years. The part where he was aiming to buy a Range-Rover was the most unrelatable thing for me (and probably everyone in the comments as welll.) I'm just happy I can eat properly and can buy proper footwear and have thriftshops nearby.
I completely understand giving your seat to the elderly, infirmed, or pregnant women, but if a woman is in perfect health and not with child there is no reason she should be treated any differently because of her gender which is sexism on the other end of the spectrum by treating women like they require special treatment as if they can't manage standing for a train ride.
I can't speak for everyone, but I feel like a lot of women would feel the same - just being lumped into the same category as elderly, pregnant and injured people seems a little offensive to me.
If someone asks for a seat nicely, please give it up to them. Women particularly are more likely to have invisible disabilities/chronic illness. As someone who has an invisible illness but now uses a wheelchair, people that would let me use their seat when I asked saved me so much pain!
David Dante guess you're ready to hand over your higher wages as well then yeah. Pfft nah not quite ready for equality then, just the bits that benefit you, sounds about right
Yup, women aren't feeble. The idea of standing up for a woman - and all the other things some consider 'manners' - came about in order to represent women as 'weak'. It may be well-intentioned, but it's sexist. You only have to think about it logically for a second - why would a woman be unable to stand up?
How do you even know that he earns more than a woman doing the same job. I have worked with women most of my life and in every single case, when they do the same job as me, they earn the same as me. This claim about men earning more is only relevant in certain lines of employment, about 99.9% of women earn the exact same as the man standing/sitting next to her, doing the exact same job.
I think Chris is well-intentioned but severely outdated here. I would honestly be so confused if anybody offered their seat to me on a train and would definitely refuse. I don't understand why a young and healthy woman would get priority over a man the same age. Manners still exist, in that I see elderly or infirm people being given places on the tram every morning by fellow commuters, but thankfully the sexism of seeing women as feeble helpless creatures is disappearing. I know Chris is from an age of "gentlemen" but it's just a little condescending.
@Todd Wesley Hellems In today's day giving someone an honest compliment is frowned upon. I see your view that women may feel they are being condescended when do gentleman type things for them. But, I don't have a problem holding a door for a healthy kid or a crippled older person. It is the gesture of kindness that I'm offering. Not out of a tradition or antiquated sense of feminine inferiority. I only hope that others will start to realize that it isn't a possible insult but, an offering of human kindness. :) Thanks for your input! It's nice to have civil words with a person on the internet. lol
you get stunned when you get hit to the head, generally with something heavy no i am not making a sly remark about her weight, whyever would you think that? i do agree she's easy on the eyes tho
I'm not a huge fan of Roisin or Nish as comedians, but they both make great audience members. They don't take themselves too seriously and seem to genuinely enjoy other people's jokes without trying to one-up them or segue into their own material.
A decent interest in fine cars is expected but I can't understand the guys who turn it into rocket science when they aren't employed in the auto industry. I worked among guys who would display their arcane knowledge of engine and transmission combinations by model year of various Japanese and Korean brands. I don't mean the specialist models alone. They would talk about the common models as well in nerd-tastic detail. They knew nothing comparable about the female anatomy but could recite the exact hardware needed for installing a brake system upgrade kit on a certain Honda down to the nuts, bolts and washers. A model they didn't even own or strongly aspire to own.
Literally nobody on the show did that. The closest thing was saying that you should stand up for women on the train, which used to be a thing that was considered rude by the general public.
