Side note: I always love seeing the sound credit for the single kick drum sample, props to the guy for giving the reference, that is something a lot of musicians don't do.
I love you, Ed Byrne - Racy's 'Some Girls' has always been problematic. There's just not enough exposition of deeply dodgy 70s and 80s pop lyrics. I laughed like a friggin drain.
Im disappointed by the lack of a stripey top on Rich, but otherwise good episode! Glad to see the wee man has already 2 stripey outfits on-the colourful one is very cool.
Rich...Double Deckers used to be much nicer....they had raisins !! Changed a few years back. Dya remember the Willie Rushden ads ? cheers and grats on the new arrival !
Not understanding the problem doesn’t make the answer easier …. When you pick the door (you don’t know where the prize is or if it is behind your door) but the host does …so after he reveals the door that isn’t picked …your odds increase to switch …it’s about the math not where the actual prize is …
Ed Byrne is without doubt the most original comedian ever to come out of Ireland. A brilliant one off ORIGINAL with irresistable rock star good looks. Genius!
You don't get to open your box. After choosing your box they will then open up one of the boxes you haven't chosen not containing the prize. You are then given the chance to change to the other unopened box. If you keep your original choice you have a one in three chance but if you switch its two in three. Imagine instead if you are given the choice of 100 boxes and then they open up 98 boxes and ask if you want to switch to the one unopened box.
+em diar, you're making the mistake a lot of people make and thinking the odds have changed. Though curiously you think it's 33% to 50%, and not 50:50. The odds have to add up to 100%, because it is certain that you would get the prize if all 3 boxes were opened.
Azimov I didn't really explain it very well. I didn't mean it was a 33% against 50%, leaving 17% unaccounted for. I meant at the point at which you chose your box you had a 33% chance. At the point at which you are given the chance to swap, when one empty box is eliminated, it's 50/50. But the point is, if you never swapped you always have only a 33% chance that you chose correctly. That said, I completely retract my statement that Paul was mistaken, because he is correct that at the point of first choosing, there is a 2/3 chance it is in one of the others. I'm afraid that was me not reading his comment properly. Apologies Paul. If you eliminate one of them there is still a 2/3 chance it is in the other one. Both explanations amount to the exactly the same thing. At the point when one box is removed from the equation, we have a 50/50 (Binary) choice, stick or change. however THE OUTCOME of that choice is not 50/50 it is 33.333/66.666 (rounded off to the 1/1000th). I shall delete my misleading comment. Thanks for pointing it out.
It isn't 50/50 at the point you are offered the swap, that's what confuses people like Ed. So what Ed is describing very poorly (because he doesn't understand it), is know as The Monty Hall problem. A contestant on a game show is given the choice of 3 doors. Behind one of the doors is a brand new car, behind each of the other 2 is a goat. After picking a door, the host opens one of the other 2 which he knows has a goat behind it. He then offers the contestant the chance to swap his door with the other remaining unopened door. Question: Should the contestant swap? Answer: Yes swapping gives twice the chance to win. This assume the car is placed at random, the contestant picks at random, the host knows what is behind every door. The real key thing is the doors aren't opened at random, you will always be shown a goat. So nothing has changed, you are being given the chance to swap from 1 door to 2 doors. If you can't visualise why it is this way, then have a look at the wiki page for the monty hall problem. They have some great visual aids there.
So if the host doesn't know what's behind the door, does that mean it's still 50/50 after one of them is opened (assuming it doesn't reveal the prize)?
Don't care what you say, Ed, I love the Double Decker. It is best appreciated if you take small bites and let it warm up in your mouth before chewing so the almond flavour of the nougat becomes more noticeable. Laughed so hard at the line "Lion Bar, fresh from the freezer" I was thinking I would take a Curley Wurley for similar reasons, no way it would be able to do much despite being longer than all other bars. BTW I live in China and conversations like that make me miss the UK.
Ernie?, is this part of your plan to sire comedians? are you hoping that the bullying Ernie will receive, on account of the fact that you named him Ernie, will give him emotionally scarring experiences he can latter use as stand up material?
Bit of a comedian, eh? That's the hardest game in the world, that is, the old comedy game. Y'see I did me self, I done it, yeah, 30 years, man and boy. It is hard, innit? The fear of dying on your arse? Hecklers trying to throw you off, eh? Got to me in the end, I became mentally ill. That's not what done for me, though. I sustained a terrible back injury in 1972 on stage in Reykjavik when It all came to a head, I ended up falling off the stage whilst trying to nut a heckler. I carried on for some time with the madness and the back, but a friend took me to one side and said, ''Archie, comedy is a young man's game.Get out of it, son.

How about Dylan Moran on this show. And Sally Phillips, because Sally Phillips must have some good stories.
...about Rich.
Another great guest! Congrats on being a dad again!
Congratulations Richard!!... you were an answer on "The Chase" last night.
Congrats to you all on the arrival of Ernie!
Extremely easy way to know if a guest knows the podcast before featuring: they are or aren't offended by the idea of emergency questions.
Getting unnecessarily angry about things is exactly my sense of humour, haha.
I better tidy up in here because I've been crying too much.🤣
Many congratulations Richard xxx
He disclosed he didn't win Pointless though?
CAMZAB He never wins though lol
Congratulations Richard dude. You got a little Herring dude! xx
Congratulations to you both.
The math thing that Ed Byrne mentions is called the Monty Hall Problem.
Congratulations 💙
Congratulations on the new life in your life.
Biggest congrats man ❤️
Congrats Rich!
Another great interview
WAaayyyhayy. congrats Rich and family!!
Congratulations Richard!
Congratulations to you and Catie, Rich!
I love the bit about the Monty Hall problem. It is a surprisingly easy problem when you factor in the hosts ability to choose between two. Anyway.
Where was that in the interview please?
Congratulations
Good timing on the Blade Runner shirt... and the Pointless info.
I love you, Ed Byrne - Racy's 'Some Girls' has always been problematic. There's just not enough exposition of deeply dodgy 70s and 80s pop lyrics. I laughed like a friggin drain.
Congratulations! My new grandson is also called Ernie and his big sister is Phoebe 😊
Im disappointed by the lack of a stripey top on Rich, but otherwise good episode! Glad to see the wee man has already 2 stripey outfits on-the colourful one is very cool.
Congratulations
Rich...Double Deckers used to be much nicer....they had raisins !! Changed a few years back. Dya remember the Willie Rushden ads ? cheers and grats on the new arrival !
They never had raisins.
Errrrrnnnniiiieeeeeee, and he drove the fastest Milk Float in the West!!
Get Max Linder on!
And - congratulations!
Not understanding the problem doesn’t make the answer easier ….
When you pick the door (you don’t know where the prize is or if it is behind your door) but the host does …so after he reveals the door that isn’t picked …your odds increase to switch …it’s about the math not where the actual prize is …
Why can I not listen to this on the podcast ??
Don't know. It's definitely there
@@Herring1967 hmm 🤔 going to check again , thanks 🙏🏽
Yea it’s working, must’ve been a glitch with my phone, great! Can’t wait to catch up, loving the RUclips ones as well, thanks again 😊
Brilliant
If your son builds a house. He can call it Ernest Herring way.
Or just copy him and say you're doing it Ernest Herring's way. You could also write a book about what he does.
I cant believe you didn't call him Ian.
Monty Hall is the three door probability thing
That was great
Ed Byrne is without doubt the most original comedian ever to come out of Ireland. A brilliant one off ORIGINAL with irresistable rock star good looks. Genius!
Holy sh*t I just looked up that Kramer thing :/

Britain announces new fastest Milkman! Congratulations!

Congrats.
Missed opportunity to ask Ed Byrne about his work wih Amnesty International in Burma and how he feels about Aung San Kyii nowadays.
Rachel Riley brought back 125k and won it since..

Yes. As I said in my edit, The second choice is a binary one, but the probability is not. Thanks for your comment
So if the host doesn't know what's behind the door, does that mean it's still 50/50 after one of them is opened (assuming it doesn't reveal the prize)?

If we have this argument we'll end up falling out.
Ernie?, is this part of your plan to sire comedians? are you hoping that the bullying Ernie will receive, on account of the fact that you named him Ernie, will give him emotionally scarring experiences he can latter use as stand up material?
Your Chase record has been beaten now Ed, by Rachel Riley.
Edinburgh is not That large to be honest
He's much better in this than Mrs Brown's boys
I hope your son appreciates the importance of being Ernie.
Very Spinal Tap entry... I've been here before, normally we get on stage.
Hey Herring, where's Bert? ahahahaha, we have fun.
32:56 Brian Blessed = loud-mouthed, shouty crushing bore.
"well-off" is hyphenated. One word.
Bit of a comedian, eh? That's the hardest game in the world, that is, the old comedy game.
Y'see I did me self, I done it, yeah, 30 years, man and boy.
It is hard, innit? The fear of dying on your arse? Hecklers trying to throw you off, eh?
Got to me in the end, I became mentally ill.
That's not what done for me, though.

Caught much recently?
I had four roach, biggest was only 12 ounces. Stan didn't have a touch.
I hope he catches something soon, he's getting miserable.
Ernie - The Fastest To The Milk Mum In The West.
Congrats Rich.
You silly people! The hedgehog dies from smoke inhalation before he feels hot!
Nemesis is definitely not the worst Star Trek film
It's Generations or Final Frontier
The Motion Picture is pretty bad, and I didn't love the first JJ Abrams one
I don't even count JJ Abrams as Star Trek they are so bad.
They're all the same.
Tiny Rick!!!
Congratulations
Ernie Herring??
Should have stuck with Rufus.
Darlene from Roseanne hasn't aged well.
Congrats on the wean. Reason to stay alive, innit?
Most recent comment! Boom
Congratulations Richard!!
Congratulations Richard!
