This was too funny. Just chaos from the lads 😂. More of these three rinsing each other.

[@Rosalicious297]

I remember Ellis when he first started at Tigers, mumbling, embarrassed, couldn’t meet people’s eyes. Look at him now, intelligent, articulate, mature, interesting, his own man. No wonder his contemporaries love him.

[@samanthabennington308]

Excellent dream team on today....another episode with these lads needed!

[@TP1988]

“Do you reckon we could come live to you at a fire?” “One hundred percent.”

[@simoping]

😂😂😂… I love Jonny May… great podcast

[@pakkoroban6377]

PLEASE get Owen Farrell on GB&R chaps 🙏 - it’s what us fans want. Pay him as much as he likes 👍 💵 #HaskandOwen #Mates #Growthegame like if you agree

[@davebetts]

Owen Farrell WITH Jonny May would be something special

[@Jack-qv5ru]

This would be awesome

[@stephenl20]

15 min into this and I'm in bits 😂😂 these three are Gold 💪🏼🤙🏻

[@AlexHamilton86]

That closing section from Jonny on quacking and slapping forwards is the best GBR clip yet

[@lukethomas6469]

This is basically, Mum & Dad are away and have left big brother in charge. Unreal Dynamic.

[@GoodBadRugby]

Best description yet 😂😂😂

[@tomevans1388]

I've never clicked a video so fast 🤣

[@andrewtanner7891]

Ellis mentioned the Star scheme for disadvantaged kids. Please revisit and go into more detail.

[@liamd3345]

Absolutely hilarious the three of you just click, the banter was spot on. Thanks fellas that was class.

I would love a pint with Gengey such a good man

[@catherinegriffin9719]

too busy laughing, loving this

[@kenmason9354]

Awesome content, brilliant to see Johnny and Ellis on Show the show together. If this Johnny last year at Gloucester what they are doing to Celebrate ,this Man's massive contribution to Gloucester ..? He IS LEGEND to all Gloucester supporters "Thank Johnny we salute " 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MrKelso85]

What a combo! Needs more views!

[@forcomgee9087]

Great entertainment and formula - GBR's equivalent to Clarkson, Hammond and May. Love the mixture of Hask's rapid fire hype, chaotic banter, impressions and wind ups and the more serious exchanges about past and present playing and team dynamics and experiences , as well as thoughts about the contracts and the future of the game etc. All credit to Jonny on considering a career in saving lives in the fire service and Ellis for encouraging youngers into the game. Three jolly good sausages !

[@EnglishVeteran]

Excellent!! 👍👍👍

[@bulltraderpt]

Great episode.

[@dadofchampions]

This is absolute GOLD!!! Their neurodiverse conditions making for a 'classic' chin-wag among old and good friends who have spilt blood together.

[@wingcommanderdaltonwalton67]

Fantastic!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jasonparsons]

The most ADHD podcast I've watched and I'm here for it. Very entertaining chat from the lads

[@fraserangus8478]

Amazing stuff... Definitely should be a new format for a side series - these lads having a chat. And Alex and Mike interviewing the legends of the game. And of course the OG trio doing episodes as well. Although I missed the very early episodes where Tindal would drink 2 or 3 pints while making the podcast haha

[@ashleighwalton26]

Loved this💪🏻

[@neiljefferies501]

Quality show

[@JohnFox-lc8ei]

Ellis is an absolute legend. What a man.

[@thesixbees]

That was class.

[@essealants3730]

A nice line up given what the kick offs and kick on boys have been putting out

[@matthewmorgan7424]

The best good bad and the rugby episode I’ve ever seen, did not stop laughing from start to finish 😂👏🏻

[@clarechambers6289]

Fab pod, great chat, would have loved to see Alex there, head exploding trying to keep them on script 😂😂

[@webMonkey_]

Ellis is a bloody good bloke.

[@paulwood9466]

Genge almost ready to burst 😅😅😅😅😅

[@peterwomersley]

This is like the Karl Pilkington of rugby

[@allankerr668]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@NoNo-gk6gq]

Loving these would like to see Farrell on

[@MattGreenDnB1]

mint podcast! 😂

[@Ross2298]

First I’ve seen of Johnny may he’s fucking quality 🤣

[@crissamways2808]

Perhaps Mr May should have a conversation with Amy Cokayne about juggling the RAF and rugby?

[@aja4191]

Fireman Johnny. No. He is pure strait laced comedy and he doesn't know it. Get him on stage.

[@bodhi821345]

what a lineup, one of the best pods in a while

[@lordclemo4301]

As Genge said big scores like that are not good for the game. I think most people play because it’s hard not easy.

[@oliverroper1062]

Couldn't comment on James's tiktok but releasing records much better than MMA. Monetising your personality via the DJ booth will be a winner. Ps May needs to eat more spuds!

[@ZO150ZO]

34.43 Gengy 🤣🤣🤣🤣im laughing too

[@MrGarrish]

Brilliant 😂😂

[@shonunezekiel]

Hask interviews like Ali G - and I love it!

[@theartofboxing173]

class

[@JuddLofthouse]

James I really love you but Alex is the presenter you are the jester and tingle is the grumpy grandad 😂😂👍👍great show

[@brianfeltham-daniels905]

that were reet lively!

[@johnnunn8688]

Rhino, yay!

[@GH-qp6dn]

Tell Johnny the Stance socks are on the wrong feet, the little circle logo thing goes on the inside 👍

[@peterr2455]

Live ???

[@hughparker991]

Eddie Jones telling players not to be tired or sore says it all

[@jordancox8280]

And yet the 3 guys here who actually played with him as coach, love him and Jonny May in particular expressly mentioned that Eddie made him become a far better player than he ever thought possible... But please tell me more about your own personal experiences with the man.

[@ShaunPainting-mt8vm]

Johnny - where can I get a 4Ed hat?

[@handcrafted30]

RAF Rugby are literally jizzing themself at the prospect of SAC May

[@ssttraining962]

que the youtube compilation vids of Jonny quaking and boffing Ellis over the years.....!

[@mhaysom]

Sensitive chap isn’t he 😉

[@williampotts554]

One consideration re players going overseas - esp England/ marquee players - do you then loose the appeal of people going to watch the clubs in the premiership? I think there should be a choice and players shouldn’t be penalised for going overseas, but I do think there could be a problem with growing the popularity at a club level. Another point re kiwi players - the number one sport in NZ but not great attendance at matches.

[@marktaylor5536]

Am I the only person that thinks James Haskell was bang out of order with how he treats Jonny May? Jonny asked, genuinely in my opinion, why are you laughing at me, at least three times!! I think its admirable that he is thinking of joining the RAF Fire Brigade and all Haskell can do is laugh and belittle him. Just wrong!!

[@johnnunn8688]

If Johnny wants to be an RAF officer, he may like to grow a beard……and other things.

[@glynmatthews678]

May got roasted

[@mrdrevilporkchop666]

If you listen to this at 0.75 speed they speak normally

[@mrdrevilporkchop666]

Seriously, works wonders for hask

[@mitcheljeavons2182]

@@mrdrevilporkchop666 this should be pinned at the top

[@snowyrichmond5445]

Jesus, 8 minutes in and i have to stop, im actually losing IQ points every minutes, "do you want the yellow helmet or the white one" stoooooop!!!😂

[@celeste5508]

epic manspreading chaps

[@mikeatherton2151]

I think Haskell is a total arse. Huge over inflated opinion of himself the show is so much better when he isn't on the show.

[@rich2529]

oh jonny may....mr mono tone..turned off 7 minutes in
