He was probably yelling " The Clutch "
😅😅
I was thinking that too!
You beat me to it! 👍
Which reference is this? I don't remember
@@SonnyDarvishzadeh Don't think it's a reference, he was prolly telling him to pop the clutch XD
I love that the only two podcasts I've seen Greg on he's wearing the same shirt, recorded months apart. He's got a podcast uniform, and I'm here for it. 😎💪
You'll see that Russell was wearing the same as well 😉
yes, The Froth with Rhod
@@Snaakie83 Russell wasn't on the froth, I'm referring to this one and the froth from around a year ago. Is there also a third one?
@@satori3000 I think they were just mentioning which other podcast it was lol wasn't them that mentioned Russell
Is it wrong that I would pay good money AND take the day off of work to watch an all day unedited video of Greg and Russell gardening?
I'll cook lunch. Let's do this.
I am with you guys. However, I imagine Greg’s didn’t go smoothly. I kind of think throwing things and a profanity filled rant was included but I still think it would be great viewing.
I would take the day off to watch Greg do anything!
@@thecuriouscorgi1348I would take the day off to do anything WITH Greg.
My great-grandfather passed when I was 5, but i have fond memories of him and his garden - an acerage that he'd turned into a food forest, with grafted trees that produced 5 types of apple on the one plant. He was always either in that yard or inside quietly doting on us great-grandkids.
I now have a plant science major and a passion for gardening, but SO MUCH gardening knowledge was lost between his generation and mine. It genuinely hurts my heart that no grandparents; or aunts, or uncles great or otherwise took the time to learn from him. It feels like he and I sort of generationally just brushed past each other, not knowing how similar we could be.
He's still the nicest person I've ever met.
Greg is absolutely gorgeous. I could look at him all day ❤
I chop firewood on a daily basis, since that's our primary source of heat from November to April. And quite honestly, I do love the ritual of it all, both the actual chopping of wood (twice a day) as well as the kindling of fire. I do believe there's something to it, as you can't think of anything other than what you're currently doing, which is rather tranquil and mediative.
I was the woodchopper for our fam as a teenager. Probably delayed my adhd diagnosis bc it was indeed excellent for my busy mind!
Blokes have fought to cut or prep wood for the fire in my place - the ritual of it is lovely and having men do it and see that pleasure almost ritualised ( for me it’s a chore) is great to watch
Russell and Greg are such good mates. This podcast could probably easily last a whole week and they still would be laughing and chatting.
Greg and Russell, thanks for sharing you are both just F**King hilarious! Please never stop these chats, as they bring a beam of sunshine into my life!
The “Tracking”! I had completely forgot about that. The times I had to put my fingers underneath the video player. Wow that brought back memories. 😊
Genuinely wtf does this mean? I'm too young to get this one 😂
The Geoff guy he is talking about is my dad he is still just as lazy 😂
Geoff procreated???
Yellow Rover P6 with electric windows AND a 3.5 V8 motor.....as a child I'd have been mighty envious of Greg and his dad. Bet it sounded ace👍
I see so much of Greg's life in all his shows 😂😂
You two are pure magic together. ❤
Greg thank you for bringing laughter to my life again. You are so natural with your humour.
Welsh farmers were self taught masters to behold. My dad - did extreme midwifery on a birthing cow in a river in the dark, he rigged a genny to a Massey Ferguson tractor so we could get electricity during the coal crises, he knocked a hole in the side of the farm and built a bathroom and 2 bedrooms from the attic. Same with my partners dad - hedge twining, creating dams and a huge veg garden, just in a days work for them ..
So funny, it's like being down the pub with a couple of mates.
Oh come on... Greg Davis: Rewilding is a Channel 4 series waiting to happen. Get filming!!
I 100% would watch
Is there any chance you'd release full video versions of these podcasts? i dont really listen to podcasts i like to watch them i like seeing the facial expressions :)
Greg is the funniest, his stories seem to be endless. The perfect beer-mate
First thing I thought of when he said 'the Claw' was that Motorhead song. Miss ya Lem.
Podcast Duo we need !!!
Just absolute gold!
Favourite people in the world ❤
what a bunch of lucky jizz we are to be able to see more moments of you two together. Love the banter
This is an absolutely phenomenal bit
This was awesome! Hugs to Greg’s mom. I hope she is on the mend. 💜
Also, that “hotel” kinda sounds like “City Slickers”.
I would LOVE to love off grid with Greg
AWESOME
I REMEMBER TRACKING!😂 I used to have to drop the flap on the front of the VCR and hold the tiny rubber buttons until the stripes went amd the fuzz cleared up 🤣👌
Greg and Russell are the perfect foil for each other.
This was a joy ☺️
More greg plz 🙏
I once spotted a giant comedian trying to jam a boxed lawnmower onto the back of a two seater convertible in Charlie’s in Shrewsbury. He’s never managed to choose good cars 😂
Awesome and lovely and nuts-up funny thank you 😂
I had to bump start my car every day single handedly with my first motor. I lived at the top of the hill and every day I’d push, run around and jump in 😂 nice reminder that we all start somewhere
The irony of watching this on a phone, with them talking about how technology has turned us into zombies 😂
When Greg mentioned his roommate I immediately pictured the roommate in the movie “Notting Hill!”
SPIKE!!
Best advice i have, that helps the brain and body, get an allotment!!
Or at least a veg plot on ur garden!
Get ur hands in soil, pulling weeds out, potting seedlings, then planting them out.
Watch them grow, tend them.
And then u have food at the end of it.
Brilliant for mental health and keeps u active!
Love these 🎉🎉🎉
How much do we have to pay to get Russell and Greg a re-wilding show?!
A lot of the little things that seem like laziness make life and participating in society, and functioning independently, so much more achievable for disabled people. Even electric windows in a car.
Heated seats and steering wheels are a godsend here on the Canadian prairies. LOL I'd love to see you guys do a Canadian tour some time. Come in the summer so you don't freeze to death. 😁
Which day will summer be this year? I think it's going to be a Tuesday (again) over here in Norway.
If Greg wants to go back to basics he is welcome to come visit me in Canada!
I wish they would post the whole pod cast. Greg’s comments about the heated steering wheel made me wonder if apple Car play freaks him out. BTW heated steering wheels are nice. I am in the Midwest in the US. It gets very cold like -20 F sometimes. My fingers are too short to work the controls in the car with gloves on so they needed here.
The Really Rewilded Show with Greg Davies... I'd commission it.
Love you /to got to do a proper podcast. Love both you guys content in comedy and fact both down earth mom s boys
"The stove was the beginning of the end. I mean, you used to just go gather a bit of firewood and some kindling, grab a flint and light it up and pretty soon you could cook your food. Now it's just a flick of the wrist and go. It's all too easy, I say."
So, I checked that reg number, it's a 1979 SD1. Nice!
Unfortunately, hasn't been taxed since 1987, so it's probably long been scrapped
Absolutely love Greg and his stories ! Please have Chris & Rosie Ramsey on and Lucy Beaumont and Keith Lemon and Mickey Flanagan 🙏🙂
Greg Davies goes off grid. .. turn it into a TV show, I'd watch it
Anyone who doesn’t get the point of electric windows has obviously never farted a throat clogger and needed to open the rear windows from the driver’s seat in a hurry
I just spat on my keyboard.
I understand the feeling of privacy when being in your own car. A space of your own. My car is just an extension of my handbag. I have everything in there i could possibly need at any given moment. 😂
Why'd it end?!?!?!?!?! I was enjoying that!
I love Tom Wood (ex England rugby captain!) philosophy, if some kid with no GCSEs can do it you can learn. Hes learnt plumbing, carpentry and a ton of mad skills by watching CZcams reading books and having a go.
Cars are freedom, and home is safety. Motorhomes are both.
I wish I could join this conversation
I totally get the electric window feeling. When I was a kid the only one I knew that had those were my godparents. We were visiting them during the summer break and they drove us to somewhere. It was hot and therefore we had all the windows open. When we arrived and they turned off the car the windows closed on themselves. All simultaneously. And I remember I was so fascinated that I whispered to my sister "Wow! It's all automatic!"
The funniest but most relatable clip i have seen in so long 😂🤦👍
Love the comment about electric windows in cars. My sentiments exactly... same goes for electric toothbrushes!!!
First microwave 1998?
My dad brought one home in the mid 70s.
Love how Russ emphasises the P in Imp.
This is a fun conversation! I think there's an argument for the automated windows as it's probably safer to flick a button and drive than lean down and wind a window down with the other hand on the wheel, plus having control over the back ones if there's kids and stuff is good...but I understand the point 🤣 I'm 31 and I've always been quite happy to use something unti it doesn't work any more however old it is. My car isn't even that old like...2010 or something...can't plug in my music player or even see what the temperature is outside 🤣 I'm like who cares. Though i don't do lots of driving. My dad is also similar he'll always have a go at fixing something himself first (within reason) and takes any slightly warm and sunny opportunity to be in the garden faffing about with something. Also as an artist watching AI come into the picture a lot it makes me sad because the joy of doing or creating something with your own hands is special!
Breaking news: This video is epic!
Tracking on the video player now there’s a flashback
American here, love yoou both, but going back to the “wild” can be done. Learned farmingof poultry a few years ago and have been going “ wild” learning the old things because i love learning and love being outside.
My late husband was a big believer in the infrared lights...my late husband.
where is the hoodie your wearing from Russell?
I agree but also it's disability friendly, one the passenger sides too. Automations made a lot of things accessible. But I do see what he's saying like it's all going so fast with things we kind of don't need when there are things we do.
A mate had a car called the claw, it was named after the motorhead song.
I absolutely love my heated steering wheel and I don’t care who knows it 😂😂😂😂😂
OMG! Jeremy Clarkson bought that rover with cnt number plate and ran it on top gear! They filled it with water from a fire engine. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I'd rather I didn't at times but I fix everything because I'm poor, the only thing I've not been able to fix is my Wallace and gromit door bell. I chop logs all the time, it is satisfying. I fix my two 23yr old cars too. Also very satisfying and annoying in the same moment.
"Very satisfying and annoying in the same moment" is a great description of how I feel sewing my way through a pile of mending. Just the other day, I was doing my middle aged cranky rant about, "I miss cars that didn't have computers in them. I just want to be able to do my own repairs. Hell, I miss carburetors!" And, don't even get me started on computerized washing machines!
Greg: "Stop staring at a screen like an open mouthed zombie using only you finger to do things".......... while we all stare at Russell and Greg on a podcast. 🤣🤣🤣
All I want is the ability to watch the podcasts WITH video in full. I dont want the audio only.... Plz Russel
been saying it for years - we're gradually going to end up like the humans in WALL-E
Anyone know which Rover model it was?
Just commenting for the algorithm 💙❤️
About 2 years ago I bought a wifi light and I could change the brightness and colour or turn it on and off on my phone or with my voice. Recently I switched wifi and my light can't connect to 4.0ghz wifi and I felt genuinely disappointed I had to actually get up and use my light switch again like some caveman.
Technology begets technobabble too: (wifi does not use the 4.0 GHz frequency) 😉
@@nicknelson9450 is it 5 ghz? all I know is my light and my WiFi are no longer compatible.
@@nicknelson9450Is it 5.0 ghz? Idk all I know is my current wifi is the wrong frequency for my light so I can't use the features I bought it for.
Loved that😂. We should be more active, I'm nodding away while watching it in bed.
I'd always suspected he liked cars; the cars in his shows are often a bit left field (Volkswagen T2 in The Cleaner, Triumph Acclaim in Man Down etc)
“The Claw” could be a Toy Story reference? Movie’s from 95, not sure if the timing lines up
Where can I WATCH full episodes
I can only seem to find full audio versions
Sadly, I don't think the full videos have been posted anywhere. I hope they get uploaded here at some point, though. I think a lot of people, myself included, would happily watch the full episodes.
It’s such a shame because there’s a huge following for the video podcasts at the moment
I wonder if it’s that these episodes aren’t being live-vision mixed and are filmed and edited after that it’s too much of a ball ache to go back edit a whole podcast for video and put it out
@joeymain2539 I agree, it is a shame and it definitely is a popular format. Yeah, my guess would be either CZcams shenanigans causing an issue, or it's just a lot of work as you say, and 5-10ish minute videos are more manageable. Having said that, if we can have more Greg and Russell, then can we have more Greg and Russell, please 😅 🙏
I love Greg he is so normal yet mental 😁🤣😂
Good chat.. something Russell mentioned, earthing.. it seriously works, i have severe Plantar Faciitus in my left foot and after 3 years i (like the lads😊) read something about 'earthing/grounding. So off to the beach, the best place to walk barefoot and off i hobble.. after a half an hour i felt like i'd done enough barefoot walking and put my socks and shoes back on and carried on with my day, pain free and pain free for 4-5 days after.. without having to walk about barefoot the whole time.. it also worked by walking in the garden barefoot, yet my garden has thistles in it so not so good.. great chat between these two❤
Is the full video of this podcast available anywhere?
Same with automatic transmissions1
I'm also traumatized and relate to needing one space thats just yours and no one has control of it
Great interview. Love this format. Just people chewing the fat.
Both of these men are good ones.
I often joke about having a lusty crush on Greg Davies (well, it's true!). But, nonsense crush aside, I do have a genuine fondness for that sweet weirdo. He's got a good soul, that one does.
Same here..genuinely hope he takes care of himself and is happy. Lovely man.💕
Are you sure he wasn't shouting "the clutch" and not the claw?
You're welcome to mine if you want!
I have 20 cubic meters of wood to stack and a lot more to do after that.
Barefeet is a common practise in New Zealand to be point many people will do their grocery shopping without shoes.
Land of hobbits
Australians walk barefoot, too. It's not unusual to see them in a supermarket far inland and far from any beach. I'm British, I've been here for 14 years and still think it's weird.
Shit we had an auto tracker on our vcr lol
Russell you interrupted him.. he's about to tell us what he got up to in NZ!! bastard 😅
You can hear on Russell’s podcast what happened in NZ :)
What's he talking about I had a 5 year old Renault 18 TS in 1991 it was brilliant.
Come on Russell, you've just been in the land of the bare feet. New Zealand!
Yep, we're hardwired to get something out of working with our hands to fix or create stuff. Good for the brain, plus sense of achievement. And yes of course we get benefits from being connected to nature, we're supposed to do that. e.g the negative ions from swimming in the ocean, shoes off while sitting in a park, sand, backyard - negates the free radicals which have a positive charge - producing an anti-inflammatory effect (all illnesses arguably stem from inflammation so yes it's important). Doesn't mean you should walk barefoot EVERYWHERE, just where you can. Not rocket science. it really isn't
Thank you for giving the giant man a tiny cup.
Now if you made an automatic steering wheel cooling system, that would be a wonder.
Funny as hell.
Why are they wearing headphones though?
