This is a love letter to folks with ADHD. I have never felt so seen. Aisling is so amazing, and to hear this from her feels deeply real. Thank you!
God yes I just keep going omg that's mez but it's a pain in the hole to get diagnosed here
I feel so seen 😢😢😢
😘
😊😅😊😊
This is the best description of ADHD I have ever heard. I feel a need to send this to some colleagues who keep suggesting, "Just divide it up and do it a little bit at a time. She described me so well!
Yes but the year long credit i had that I used on the last day, having to be on the phone for an hour and a half because it wouldn't apply automatically, because it was the last day, how am i supposed to divide that up? I left myself six hours, ok four because of the time difference, but still, isn't that plenty of time?
Tasks could be divided fractally.... doesn't help. It's like, what should I do slapdash, and what should I go microscopic on?
"Denim, she can surprise you"
As a fashion stylist, that's a line I'll be taking with me. 😂
I could listen to these two for hours. They are both the very definition of "entertainers"
Aisling has just explained my daughter to me, thank you very much.
To me she explained society, keep it fun with no responsibilities and everything will be fine.
Added : It makes you wonder though if we'd have been able to keep it fun what society would be like. She was lucky or the rest of us unlucky she was allowed to be her as a child at school. As a kid we would have got that beaten out of us.
@@antonyjh1234 "keep it fun with no responsibilities and everything will be fine." You have misunderstood. The key word is not "fun". The key word is "interesting". There are plenty of things that people may see as interesting that, from the outside at least, are not fun. Maybe someone finds working on spreadsheets incredibly interesting and are able to focus intensely on that for hours. Maybe for others it's welding or painting. Personally I know that there are certain aspects of my job that fascinate me and I will focus on those aspects in minute detail. Not because they're fun (you would not look at me and think "that guy's having too much fun") but because they're interesting. But ask me to write a simple email and I will put it off until I can't possibly put it off any longer.
I'm sure that many non-neurotypical students probably did have it "beaten out of them" in the past. I'm not sure from your comment whether you think that's a bad thing or a good thing.
She is always so present, smart and passionate, I could hear her podcast episodes all day
She explains it perfectly. Thank you, Aisling and thanks Rob for asking the right questions
Wow, a heartfelt thanks to Aisling, as someone who has recently scored high for adhd in test yet have no support available listening to her experiences and how relatable it is helps me make sense of my life. Its like fighting against myself and always getting myself in binds because of the most stupidist things can build up and trap you when youve procrastinated too long.
As someone who lives with ADHD it is really nice to hear people talking about it and acknowledging it is a broad spectrum.
I think you mean a broad church.
This interview was so soothing, Aisling is brilliant as ever and Rob directs the conversation so well. Love listening to them both, lot of food for thought there
Always lovely to hear from the multi-talented Aisling. And Rob is just brilliant.
Never heard of Aisling before. Very amusing.
@@123bwlchYou need to see her with John Malkovich on Jonathan Ross. Malkovich nearly shat himself laughing.
Since I discovered the charming and witty Mr. Brydon just a couple of years ago, he has quickly become one of my favourite actors and I really enjoy everything he does. Love from Canada!
I have seen Aisling many times on television. This is the first time that I felt I really saw her. This in spite of a complete genuineness in her other performances.
Thanks for this
Well now it appears I've just fallen in love with Aisling.
Only just?
It's a very long queue...
Aisling so eloquently, authentically, and even succinctly described ADHD despite her jokes about taking the long way around. I also want to take a moment to remark how Rob so compassionately and patiently not only heard her, but was genuinely interested in hearing more, made space for her, and accepted her wholeheartedly. This was lovely and comforting all the way around. ❤️
Thanks Aisling you've just vocalized my felling of ADHD , made me feel less isolated, trying to get diagnosed and medicated here in Canada is so difficult and slow
On older ships, the wheelhouse was where the ship's wheel (for steering) was housed. So if the Captain was in the (his) wheelhouse he was in control of the ship and ready to respond to any navigational challenges. Hence if something is in your wheelhouse it's something you're familiar with and know how to handle...
“I’m too young for your references.”
I’ve always been the one who was told “how do you know that? That was before your time” usually when correcting an older person about something they misremembered.
So brilliantly described what ADHD is like. I suffer from that really badly, though I don't have the hyperactivity part of it. I just can't get things started, even facing serious consequences if I don't do it. My consciousness says "Just do it!" but the rest of my brain doesn't take notice and just does other things instead. If you don't suffer from it, you likely can't imagine what it's like, and how debilitating it is. Unfortunately, I don't have a job where it is an asset, so I struggle every day.
I know the struggle. Solidarity, dopamine seeker ✊
Ooh, first for Aisling. Your podcast always brightens up the week Rob.
Two of the best humans I’ve never met nor will I ever meet, but I just know they are top tier 👏👏👏 Fabulous wee catch up to listen to & watch - big ole love from Australia 🇦🇺
Aisling is one of the most delightful people on earth
I was already a big fan but this video might be the one thing that gets me to get diagnosed for ADHD. But at the very least, she helped so many people understand it a bit better.. Great interfview by Rob too.
Aisling sounds so amazing with her French, also thanks for the amazing discussion on ADHD!
Where did the time go? Wonderfully enthralling thanks Rob and Aisling
I think the wheelhouse is where a ship is steered from.
Smart, beautiful, vulnerable and utterly captivating. Aisling not bad either.
I love ao Rob Brydon celebrates his heritage. He even has his grandfather clock on his wrist
Everything she said about ADHD resonates so much, just realising this is my problem (at the agenda 61)
She is so interesting and entertaining, love her!
Oh Aisling. I loved you before - one of the funniest people telling stories but even more so hearing about your experience of ADHD. I’m so sorry that you have struggled with aspects of it. I’m always on the look out for positive role models for my son, so deepest, deepest thanks for sharing. I’m not diagnosed but suspect I have ADHD, the description of being bored being like grief hit hard, having to pretend I need the loo to get away from something boring me to death & the physical discomfort from boredom. On a side note, I’m new to seeing you act & you’re an absolute delight.
I think that "wheel house" is a reference to a small cabin on a boat or ship which houses the steering wheel.
As one word, 'wheelhouse', it is.
Not taken much notice of aisling before, but what a great description of what ADHD is about.
She's the smartest comedian in the UK ❤ So sharp and witty... So honest and vulnerable here 😊
Such a marvelous conversation from start to end - loved it! 🥰 👏
Makes me really happy how they committed to the French bit 😂
shes sharper than Rob, and that's saying something. Love it
Fantastic podcast! I could listen to these two for hours!
Thank you! Thank you!!! Merci beaucoup!!!!!
How about the Wheel-house on a boat in which is the wheel that steers the boat, meaning, in control.
Love you Rob and your guest, Aisling is a sweet kind of dry.
FYI, a lumberjacket is the Canadian dinner jacket, so the Canadian tuxedo would be a lumberjacket + jeans.
My wife and youngest son are ADHD to the max. As an "outsider", you just have to accept it and deal with it. We all have our own challenges. Love and understanding are the keys. Wheelhouse is the cabin on a boat where the "steering wheel" is.
Thank you for saying this. I have ADHD and the thing that gives me the most anxiety is the constant worry I'm letting down my wife and kids or annoying them in some way or if they would think I'm unreliable and forgetful. It's a constant stress. I work hard (but erratically) and I earn good money but I know my ADHD holds me back and I'm fully aware that being around me is probably infuriating at times. Knowing my wife and girls are forgiving and understanding has really helped me so I can put that anxiety aside and give that energy to more positive things.
Bea gets points for using the term " Canadian tuxedo".
Totally relate to Aisling on the challenges of neurodivergence, really enjoyed this
❤Aisling
Just when I thought I could not love her any more!
A great talent and a wonderful human being. Asling is amazing.
Aisling is just a delight!
So nice hearing someone call out the just set a timer bulshit
"Wait, so you wanna *add* the distraction of knowing something could start beeping a me any minute now?!?"
i feel so seen, right down to the motion sickness and the inability to process boredom.
I'm just going to say it. Aisling has the most beautiful skin in show business
These sort of comments are pointless. Why do women need to have this kind of superficial comment made about them at all and worse still by other women?. I don't really care if you are a male or female saying it but it's just shallow and it's a good part of why it can be frustrating for a female to need to deal with it for apparently no reason whatsoever. I mean, why would you feel the need to go on and comment about someone's appearance at all. Legit, take a minute and think to yourself why you do it.
@@TheycallmeMrWonka Oh wow, you told me off. My one line, nice compliment was extremely thoughtless, you are right. It was completely deserving of your paragraph of disdain.
@@LitteJeanieMr Wonka is Mr Wanker!
Loving the new Lewitt Mics!
What a shame Rob couldn't keep up with her, it could have been a Really amazing deeper discussion.
She is surprisingly good at articulating. Herself and her situation, AMAZING!
Finding a way to make the process joyful!
Ranganathan is so funny & his kids r adorable. I just know he has a crazy, fun filled household.
In awe of Aisling's beautiful white skin. Just so striking!
I believe wheelhouse is like the "bridge" of a ship, where the big wheel is, once it was no longer in the rain at the back of a ship nearby the rudder. This is definitely true of "mississippi River boats"
I love Aisling Bea so very much. She is beautiful in every way, so clever and funny and real. I don’t think you can help but fall in love with her. Truly, just an exquisite being that makes the world a better place simply by existing.
Bryden is back!
Give those two a show, perhaps something like the fishing tutorials mortimer and whitehouse do.
ROLL THE TAPE 😂
This is me. Can’t do the simplest of things but can spend a lot of time doing other things that interest me. Thank you Aisling. X
Wow that ADHD summary was brilliant! But now after putting it like that - "the process needs to be joyful" - I deffo knowing I have this, I wonder if NOT having ADHD should be not a norm?
I mean, who doesn't love joyful process?
Reminded of Steve Martin's take on visiting France in the 70's: "It's like those French have a different word for EVERYTHING!..."
Americans have tried double and triple denim, but it'll always be the Canadian tuxedo 😊✌️
Aisling is one of the most hilarious and natural performers out there. Damn she's witty!!
More than that, her explanation of ADHD is incredibly concise and real. I'm sorry she suffers the self-esteem consequences of not getting 'that thing' done. I had just been in a state of genuine despair tonight because I was SO bored and couldn't find anything to do or watch that felt **right**. Her humour always gives ALL the dopamine (the best episodes of QI were when she was a guest! - you too Rob, but female performers need more repping!)
Best ADHD conversation I’ve heard ❤
I first came across Aisling on 8oo10cdc and I am a fan. Sadly most of what she is in doesn't air in Canada.
Aisling is gorgeous. 🍀♥
Thank all of the Gods!
Oh my Lanta, Aisling is the most Gorgeous woman and such a character. Always a place here in NEW ZEALAND for you.
26:11 Very Steve Cooganesque 4th wall stuff there.
Google are closing Google podcast, and moving podcasts over to CZcams music, but when will your podcasts be available on there?
Love the ADHDness talk, may show it to my Mom to explain bits of myself, and things she does that doesn't realise. The frequent unasked for "advice" that ignores the specifics do get a little old.
Also, in Canada here, and the US, a Canadian tux is wearing denim trousers ("jeans") with a jean jacket. I frequently wear a denim kilt with my jean jacket. Need a nice denim shirt like yours, they look good on both of you!
A wheel house is a type of Scottish structure, like a primitive type of castle, as I recall related to the earlier broch.
Aisling was so good in Alice and Jack - as she is in everything. It's always interesting and fun to hear her in interviews, too. Rob, thanks for having her on your podcast.
My problem with Aisling is that she is both a very good actor and a very funny comedian. But, frankly, we have lots of good actors and precious few actually funny comedians which means I value that in her more. I see her in a drama and I keep wanting her to break the fourth wall and make snide comments.
For decades before I was diagnosed, I would tell people that boredom feels like death. They'd dismissively chuckle, 'oh ha ha, yes so terrible,' while treating me like I was just being quirky. And I'd laugh along while internalizing the idea that I'm ridiculously hyperbolic and then I'd do my damnest to undermine, ignore and cover up my internal responses to pretty much everything. Which lead to a deep-seated shame of myself as a human being precisely because I needed to hide myself in order to seem like a properly functioning adult, while simultaneously failing to keep up the charade convincingly, consistently or for very long.
I watched the comedy series you were on in Ireland.
That was rough batsu.
You were hilarious aisling.
Rob you are also terribly hilarious.
Wait, that's not a compliment is it?
Trapped in a box still makes me smile, and well, anyhow.
You're all very funny, and it's nice to see that kindness working through.
Robs hair was more expensive than the set! Greetings from canuckia!
she is speaking my language
Love her. She and Rob should appear together in a drama or comedy. Both have the chops.
Such a treat to listen to Aisling! A shame that the title of the clip focuses on her talking about two other people (men), who are not even a big part of the conversation. Please highlight the star of the interview instead!
Aisling Bea, elle est très jolie! ❤
Love you Aisling from day 1one 😘
You a superstar ✨️
Hallelujah ✅️Aģape 😘
The Frenchie bit at the end! 🤣🤣🤣
Wow. She basically described how I react to things. I think I might need to get checked.
Aisling Bea is not only smart, intelligent, entertaining, funny, and articulate, she's also one of the most beautiful women on this planet.
I think "wheel house" is from ships. It means that a place is a comfortable place to work even if the place is figurative.
Aisling is simply the dream rabbit.
AB is da goat
Bon caste de pod
It's really hard for well adjusted person not to love her!
You need to add a jean jacket for a proper Canadian tuxedo.
Denims are wonderful for certain weather conditions.
Cold climate Denims need wool undergarments or heating otherwise your freezing cold 🥶
Why is Aisling describing me in this interview?
:P
Interesting how Aisling can turn a subject into a plot, isn't it?
Triple Denim Day is coming! D-Day, June 6th, spread the word.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. This explains a lot. Thanks.
i love Aislings style..only a truly beautiful woman can be so DILLIGAF!!!!
