The fact that he’s faced all of this and so much more, and STILL managed to absolutely smash it… The Hardest Geezer is truly one of the hardest geezers I’ve seen. 🐐
Lets be real though, If someone has the audacity to do this then they arnt going to quit, Setbacks were always going to happen.
And he’s the audacity to run the London marathon too, not to long after his Africa saga. He truly is the hardest geezer.
Thinking about it the London marathon was probably light work for him. A Sunday stroll thought the park.
He’s basically Jay off The Inbetweeners but he’s telling the truth
Africa? Completed it mate.
The first few episodes of running Africa are rough but I’d recommend sticking through it as they address a lot of the editing issues and it really picks up
It's boring just a bloke running and mates in a van.
@@LizardLickMoTo🤣🤣🤣
I am happy for him that he prevailed through such evil and still managed to meet his goal. Heavy support from South Africa 🇿🇦.
The mad thing is he probably would have done it in 240 days if everything had gone smoothly, there were just so many delays
And the videos would have been unwatchable 😂
Well that's how these things work. It will never go as planned. That's like saying if he ran faster he'd be done earlier
@@jimsonjohnson3761 my point was that he had the physical capacity to run that far that fast in those conditions in that timeframe which is absolutely mental to me, but tbf it's mental that he did it at all
Absolutely loved being a part of this incredible journey! Unbelievable achievement Russ, you and the lads are an inspiration. Now time for a well earned break! congratulations again ma dude
Great podcast as always
Thank you!
We need a stan and/or Guus podcast
None of the Project Africa videos inspired me to run. But the guys on happy hour make Russ seem so relateable that it inspired me to go run 23km when I’d previously never done more than 7.
What an absolute lie
23km do u know how far that is are u mo farah🤣🤣
@@RuairidhMorris Yeah melt aint they 😂😂😂
What a fucking legend
Mateys a legend! Can he get on Joe Rogan? I bet he'd love to have him.
😂😂😂😂😂 on Joe Rogan .... he's known only in UK for 2 min.
@@LizardLickMoToNot the brightest spark are we
@@LizardLickMoToJoe Rogan has actually mentioned him multiple times, so if Russ is able then I almost guarantee he will go on some point soon, especially given the fundraising he’s doing
Yes but Rogan got a hard on for ultra runners etc@@LizardLickMoTo

What about the time he got kidnapped? Never heard him talk about it much.
Losing a passport is a huge issue. Theyll probably sell it and use it in some way.
I’ve done this exact thing
6:30 - poor Stevie has to be top 10 worst feelings
poor stevie got AIRED
How’s he not out of breath!
Why are episodes on Spotify only it's well muggish
Cos he signed a Rogan deal, but at least Rogan renegotiated his to release on CZcams again these guys won't get that deal.
Russ, mate. The crew has been telling everyone about the gun robbery for weeks now. We still need juicy details... what was said first, or gun first?
Bro is probably traumatised I'm sure he doesn't need pressing
@@MetalWarSucka That's true, probably. Anyway, as they say... "the tease hooks 'em better than the squeeze". Get well soon, Russ.
can’t tell if it’s all a facade ahaha
First
Its a bit worrying when they asked him if he was worried for his life and he says he was more worried about his stuff. If it was me I would of been very worried.
You need to be there to understand man. People with similar experiences would relate to that
@ericbctape You are more important than any of earthly stuff. Life is more precious than people realise. Personally, I don't agree with people who go into dangerous areas without being properly prepared. I feel sorry for his parents as they were probably extremely worried about him. If it was me, I would have stopped the whole thing right away. Personally, I don't think he did the right thing to continue. However, that is just my point of view.
It's very clear that they thought he was a spy because of his massive fake ginger beard and wig
Is he the hardest geezer cause he can run ? 😂😂
Can you manage a thousand miles a month?
@@TheSeafordian so cause this guy can run he’s the hardest geezer ? That’s what I’m asking you donut. I could run that with the right money and team around me like he has 🫡
@@TriqKyHD Calm down squire. It's a nickname. He's had it long before this run.
Look, we have a "keyboard hardest geezer" here
@@aayushrai8881 if you’re referring to me then definitely not just a mere observation that’s all
Smells like a load of bs
What is this rubbish 👎🏻
LIES . how come nothing was recorded? They made this up for the drama.
4:22 I hope this helps explain for you. You’re welcome 😊
Of course they gonna say that . They were not doing well with numbers so they created this drama . Please believe bro . @Drenwickification
@@LizardLickMoTo so in your world you think when someone carries out an armed robbery they’d just let you record the process? Hahahahahahhaa
@@LizardLickMoToAngolan government have confirmed / stfu
You spend way too much time on CZcams. Not everything has to be recorded
