Francis Bourgeois and Louis Theroux - Scooting and Chatting

[@francis.bourgeois]

Hi, it's me Francis. Thank you for watching my first Scooting and Chatting video. I'm Theroux-ely happy I got to scoot and chat with Louis Theroux. I hope you enjoy, there's more to come!

[@cocacolavanila]

Hi 👋

[@jacseg1]

This was great Francis!

[@mjfarran]

Well done Francis that was very enjoyable to watch and it looks like you both had a good time. I look forward to watching many more.

[@andrewo6890]

Enjoying this a lot - thanks for sharing ❤️

[@alastairboocock3405]

Keep on scooting+chatting 👍

[@simonb2109]

I love how people are slowly starting to embrace their uniquenesses

[@SkipperTheEyeChild]

I just said to my GF how much this type of amazing content, created by brave and wonderful people is starting to show the true breadth of human experience in our world. Making this "normal" and beautiful and fun is fantastic for all those poor souls out there who were always teased or secluded for their quirks. I only hope one day, thanks to people like Francis and Louis that this leads to us seeing that "normal" doesn't exist. There is no cookie cut person and we should celebrate and enjoy all our incredible uniqueness and amazing differences.

[@junctionfilms6348]

Slowly ? It was happening 60 years ago. Seems these days there is also a lot of dumbing down, from all kinds of media

[@sa.8208]

im sure you dont know what planet you live on. and if it took this to show you that. then you lost.

[@jantelopez5626]

"people" ? do you mean you are slowly getting to see the view of people other than those who make tv programmes and adverts .. who show you simplistic, mechanical, token characters that they make out are normal.. but are in fact fictional or constantly second guessing themselves

[@DannyFiver-m9k]

Maybe in North West London but I’m in the North and it’s still the 1980’s here . 😂

[@MrG6541]

Francis and Louis are both perfect examples of non-judgemental people that can inspire people to do things that make them happy and not worry about what others think.

[@CS-hu5be]

Its a good break to see this guy's videos

[@freedomcunningham2821]

Cannot think of a better mentor for Francis than Louis. Hope they stay in touch.

[@philcav9891]

Just like Jimmy savile mentored liuis

[@philcav9891]

trains true though

[@mrteaKup]

How is this one of the most awkward yet entirely entertaining and interesting interview I’ve seen in a long time?! ❤

[@PhageTheFinalCure]

I think because it's doesn't feel forced and fake, and is instead weirdly wholesome

[@BoadiceanRevenge]

Absolutely! 👍​@@PhageTheFinalCure

[@haydnjames9158]

I've had an awful day at work, and watching this, with a beer is exactly what I needed.

Alcoholic, also why watch this he’s a mong

[@followtheboat]

Love that you chose to record in these typically English conditions, rather than cancelling and waiting for a sunny day as it adds to the atmosphere. Your sound team should be commended! We love Louis, so this was a real joy to watch. Nice one 😃👌

[@Clivestravelandtrains]

Agree - I've made some of my videos in pouring rain and it adds a dimension.

[@jamesdennett196]

Louis is a genius. Loved the way he helped show us a bit more of you, Francis. But you were great, because you were you.

[@mikecurrington5641]

Great comment James.

[@fishfish7177]

Imagine running into these 2 just scooting about , amazing content 🤟

[@chris-cole]

You're enthusiasm shines through so bright, it's impossible not to find such happiness for you. I'm a 6ft 7 truck driver and find myself literally welling up at how happy you are. Its such a precious thing, just to be happy in life and watching you brings such joy. Well done to you Sir, keep being you! ❤

[@pevebe]

yeah mate you're mentally about 3ft'6 though

[@martinkelsen6049]

@@chris-cole great comment, and putdown of an obvious inadequate and pathetic troll. Keep driving those lorries! My great uncle owned and edited a magazine for lorry drivers.

[@flos.mp3]

Francis and Louis have to be the 2 most wholesome people ever! It was so great to see them chatting together :)

[@JohnSaunders-k1e]

Wholesome is such a cringe American word.

[@samrotherymusic]

What a great meeting of minds! Also props to whoever soundtracked this. Some real Aphex Twin vibes.

[@rowanwhile6625]

SO wholesome... I love you Francis, you are such a breath of fresh air in this world

[@ScenesThroughTravels]

Well Said 👍👍

[@JohnSaunders-k1e]

The world you meant was nice not wholesome. Wholesome sounds cringe.

[@rowanwhile]

@@JohnSaunders-k1e No, I mean't wholesome. That's why I wrote it lol.. :) "Nice" is a word which literally means "not quite awesome but not that good either... just ok"

[@JohnSaunders-k1e]

@@rowanwhile Wholesome means something morally conducive to your wellbeing that's why I said you're wrong because refreshing, rejuvenating, invigorating, revitalising, uplifting, pure. These are all adjectives tied to the word nice that make grammatical sense whereas wholesome is cringe and too extra.

[@jameskolar9655]

No going back now Francis, you’re a natural interviewer, with qualities in front of the camera that are rare nowadays. A genuine zest for life, the love of trains and kindness towards your fellow man. Thank you for sharing this time you spent with Louis with us. It’s been great fun.

[@pevebe]

Leave some some left over for his Mrs james, got something white on your chin there

[@ThinkLink1]

Francis with a film crew of 20. Love it. Going up in the world because of your personality. Great content. You humble handsome man!

[@lmc3307]

Louis is a great man. I’ve watched him since the 90s , he’s an incredibly skilled interviewer and his unique personality is what has made him so successful. He has a unique ability to bring the best out of people.

[@RamsFan93]

Literally, and he never seems to force his own opinons on others

[@cheekyrambler9752]

I love this. Watching two sweethearted people talking about their passions and interests. I've had the most awful day. My son loves trains and I found your channel on tiktok. I loved and still love trains as an adult. My son and I are neurodivergent and it's been a really rubbish day, watching this was extremely calming. Well done Francis. You did amazing interviewing Louis. Thankyou for helping me relax after a long day

[@benno4534]

These two together are a breath of fresh air

[@tripslandofconfusion4885]

I came across this man yesterday and ive watched all his content and i jave to say i love this type of stuff ......in a world so crazy,violent,and unpredictable coming across his videos have been what i needed to see.......makes me miss being happy that to be happy about anything ........and i can see why he didnt use his real name thinking his own people wpuod give him crap about what he likes knowing exactly how people are .......i get him having his passion just for him and not have to hear and B.S. from anybosy about it being people are always so quick to tear down things that other people like because they dont get it or they dont like it ......ive always been like this where i do abd buy what i like and could care less about what anyone had to say.......this dude has a harmless passion for something he finds fascinating and amazing to him .......i hope incan keep up woth his content being i really enjpy seeing his videos being i dont see anyone this happy to be doing happy to be doijg something they love ......most social media is ghetto af,depressing and lame ........keep up your passions my friend.......funny thing is i live right next to train tracks and always dismissed them .......but noticing my area im in a lil more i found out there is a old shut down trains station right by me as well that is now a historical type site .........pretty cool as well to have someobe open your eyes to something thata jiat everyday for most people and have you see the engineering and such that goes into trains .......i compare it people you like architecture

[@kieranhart4397]

What an unreal combination of people, absolutely love it

[@rossmclagan296]

honestly i just love this dudes positivity reminds you sometimes we all take things too seriously and should enjoy the small things more

[@owpidcock]

Lovely to see a father and his son out for a day of scooting

[@michaelcody3829]

I have just watched the train spotting episodes and I love it. With all the issues in the world it is so lovely to see such a delightful series, with really lovely host and guests. Well done Francis, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 and God bless mate.

[@Alexmaystudio]

Brilliant. Imagine a series where you interview celebrities about their hobbies or collections, that would be fun!

[@logicfxtrading2280]

How have I managed to watch 2 blokes "skoot" in the rain? Strangely enjoyable and reassuring that normal life still goes on in London. Great job lads. 👏

[@brantub]

props to the sound guys - perfect audio despite all the rain!

[@rhythm.lounge]

Thanks for taking us through your hometown Francis! Looking forward to more videos! The Aphex-y soundtrack, the unique body cameras, the guest chatting, the scooting, and of course the train spotting! 🚅

[@FreddieHulbert]

This is the collab of a life time 🤌🏻

[@thatsamshow]

Been watching Louis since 1998. Absolute legend. This was a great meeting of minds! 😀

[@emilyk5003]

Two people I wouldn’t have thought to pair together but now that it exists it’s so obvious. This video is perfect.

[@simonRTJ]

I have to say, this is a lovely film. DOnt change a thing "francis" you represent more than just the Bourgeois, all of us who persue our inner peace and identity. You are oding a tremendous service to many children who feel they dont fit in. I wish you were around when i was 10 years old. my life would have been bearable for it.

[@jjjjjjjjjjsssssss]

This was beautifully filmed, beautifully edited, and a beautiful idea! its nice to see more videos of people just chatting and enjoying genuineness

[@radical_ans]

So nice to see this dad and his son bonding

[@gdawg4412]

this and all of francis's videos are the most wholesome thing i have seen in years. brings smiles and nearly tears of joy seeing someone who is so genuine and happy.

Thrilled to be in your first 1,000 subscribers and to see your first video within 10 mins - what a cracking video it is, too! Love your energy, personality and enthusiasm. This is the wholesome and joyous content the world needs 😊

[@tadlate9148]

I am gutted it took me a month to find this video, but knew as soon as I saw these two's name in the title, it was probably gonna be my favourite video of 2022. I wasn't wrong. I was aware of Francis at the beginning of the year but only really became familiar as it wore on. I love this guy. I can see why people are mean to him and it's about perspective, although I don't for one moment agree. Francis has an excitement and exuberance in his life that the vast majority of the adult population do not have. We lost it as kids. So they look at him, they either don't understand it or envy it, and it turns into nastiness. BUT for a lot of people, it's the most wonderful thing to watch. You can feel his happiness and excitement through his videos and it's an amazing tonic for when you've had a bad day. The sad thing is, if you've been bullied or treated badly, it's easy to concentrate on the drips of hate you hear, and miss the flood of love around you. I hope his videos continue to be what they are, I hope his profile continues to grow and more people can enjoy them in their lives and I hope he knows, those who love him VASTLY outstrip those who don't.

[@pippinfool]

very warm video and a bit intimate too. the weather doubled it. for me its always very exciting yet vulnerable to invite other people into my world (sharing with them little things i find sense and enjoyment with) thank you for the video! I'm excited to see next ones

[@random22026]

Used to serve a regular in the pub I used to work at--we called him 'Louis Theroux', due to his resemblance to this bloke right here. Another great Francis video! The autumn leaves were so vivid and happy! And as for those yellow and green parakeets! Flocks of them can be seen in the park trees of Southeast London, too! Safety in numbers: their coloring is not camouflage-friendly. 🐦🐦🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🌧🌧

[@Stitchmax]

These videos have been popping up on my Facebook feed lately. Quiet an endearing chap. I've no interest in trains myself but can't help be happy that someone can be so happy about something.

[@bartfrank2982]

This is great! Please, please, please do more!
