please dont ever stop this show its the highlight of my week !

[@JOE_co_uk]

There's plenty more where this came from!

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

This is a great rugby show! This show has a wonderfully personal touch. I like that it’s a mix of everyday stories, not stats and opinions of players and games (I find such stuff boring to listen to). The games speak for themselves, just watch them and enjoy them for what they are. It’s great to meet the Misses, Hask. What a great match you two make! All best for you both in the life you create together. Definitely consider coming to the USA and playing in the MLR at some time. We will greatly appreciate it here!

[@PMIRL]

Proper look forward to each episode of this; keep up the good work.

[@JOE_co_uk]

We intend to. Every, single, week.

[@margeryfranko1850]

Really enjoyed watching this. Chloe and James are such a lovely couple. Great natural, funny and insightful banter. Thank you Chloe and the lads.

[@schnozz87]

40:00 that Tindall story is brilliant

[@JOE_co_uk]

If you liked that story there's a very special surprise for Mike in this episode! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWfEe4OLZ9Wsoq8

[@heartsandminds620]

Really enjoyed this. Lovely to hear from Chloe. Best wishes Chloe and James for the future.

[@timfish7456]

This episode is definitely one of the funniest. In tears half the time!

[@Richiegw1]

Really enjoyed that guys! Especially love the amateur rugby story from Tindall - would love to know if he ever saw the guy again?!

[@Dan-tj7ft]

Always listen to the podcast never disappoints.

[@JOE_co_uk]

Cheers!

[@Dan-tj7ft]

JOE played some of the podcast to the wife, the first thing she said was who is heavy breathing.😂 Mr tindall

[@eliofernandes1]

Hilarious episode! But incredibly interesting at the same time! Loving the honesty as always Hask.

[@JOE_co_uk]

Thanks!

[@TheLOLtings]

Haskell is such a legend/banter inspiration. His RWC 2011 video diaries never fail to crack me up. Love the podcast, do think pints of Guinness should be a weekly feature though!

[@JOE_co_uk]

EVERYONE LOVES GUINNESS

[@znowell1]

James, don't go abroad. This is the house of rugby train, and it's leaving the station, you're either on or off

[@cormacmaher1]

Thanks for the great show all, life affirming!

[@JOE_co_uk]

Not a problem! Plenty more to come!

[@ac2244]

Great podcast lads! Really insightful into life as a player. Chloe is a legend!

[@arugbygentlemankirielenko535]

a different "feel" to this episode but very interesting and important to hear of the challenge, sacrifices and what life is like being the partner/wife of a professional rugby player .... good to hear the boys talking about their emotions and life .... eloquent and excellent bants all round !

[@JOE_co_uk]

Great feedback. Thank you!

[@James-hd2kf]

Thought this was another fantastic podcast keep up the good work

[@JOE_co_uk]

Thanks! We will!

[@lewismatthewraines7355]

Mikes story about the time when he lost his shit and when home in his boots is hilarious! 😂

[@JOE_co_uk]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@EnglishVeteran]

Excellent show. Good panel again.

[@JOE_co_uk]

Thanks! We agree!

[@romelnegut2005]

This was really interesting. You don't get to hear how the partner/wife of a rugby player feels like about everything that goes around before and after a game, either is a loss or a victory, and how she's dealing with the fact that she's dating/married to someone that rugby fans can recognise everywhere.

[@Bacon56ful]

Really interesting episode! Keep up the great content

[@JOE_co_uk]

Cheers! We will do exactly that

[@Spongebob-ul9ie]

Can’t get enough of Haskell he cracks me right up.

[@Mortsandmore]

This was very entertaining and have to admit not a massive rugby fan

[@JOE_co_uk]

Thanks! We appreciate it

[@mikehooley6398]

Very interesting listening to Chloe talk about dealing with having a professional sportsman as a husband and the effects beyond the sport!

[@JOE_co_uk]

Cheers Mike, we appreciate your feedback

[@daikayll1897]

Terrific show,very enjoyable,thanks. And James, even this Welshman is rooting for one last cap for you.

[@JOE_co_uk]

Fingers crossed!

[@jonnybaynham1689]

One last chance for Haskell to hit the Principality Stadium posts!

[@jakewater7814]

Mike Tindall's breathing is astonishing

[@adamparsons1994]

I read this comment and that was all I could hear after reading it was his breathing!

[@jamesconnor2499]

That nose has been smashed to pieces to be fair!

[@sherlockgnomes8971]

Chloe’s lisp is worse

[@jackcloud4728]

Recently found the channel love the podcast

[@kingsleyshacklebolt6235]

James 'Bits and Pieces' Haskell

[@JOE_co_uk]

That's actually James' middle name

[@JS-ce4zq]

Tindall and Haskell.... the 2 blokes in rugby I want to have a beer with 👍🏻

[@tollyt7465]

Add David Flatman, Gareth Chilcitt and Jason Leonard to that, and Hask would die of alcohol poisoning. He's a lightweight.. I've had a drink with the fun bus and coochie, believe me it's not a pretty sight.. Heard that Tinds and Flats can put it away too..

[@murrayjohn8608]

Well that was brilliant

[@JOE_co_uk]

Thanks!

[@sarahpowelson8912]

Come broadcast in Seattle! Defending MLR champs!

[@gilldunnings9659]

Loving you guys. 💙💙💙🥰xxx

[@bikeoutwest]

Genge scrubs up well.... Hope he makes an appearance in the future

[@bikeoutwest]

Was a great insight to how partners deal with professional sports persons. Haskell will be alright after retirement I'm sure.

[@sportdaily2406]

Quality

[@JOE_co_uk]

Cheers!

[@jkettell100]

Hey were getting pretty good at rugby here in the USA! James could always come over and play if he gets tired of the same old European teams

[@jonnybaynham1689]

The day snorer returned in the Ben Ryan episode, and seriously prominent here. Has to be Hask.

[@theflaver]

Have Chloe and Zara on without the boys, it would be awesome!

[@zztop6460]

Haskell reminds me of Biff.

[@arturrofi5933]

Good morning Mates... I am about to drink my coffee.

[@thewessexbretwalda5865]

When is this gym in Bath happening? Sign me up

[@deanhenderson847]

Didn't know chloe had a lisp

[@sherlockgnomes8971]

It’s unbearable.

[@currymurray7758]

Thought they treated her very well here. Often you see they are asked the same stupid questions and input is ignored on other things but that was not the case here.

[@12schoolies]

To quote historical 'Soccer AM' It'll never last! (but I hope it does really)

[@jamieportis3621]

Love him or hate him... Haskell has landed on his feet with her. What a girl.

[@sherlockgnomes8971]

It’s because she’s got an unbearable lisp, I wouldn’t be able to handle that

[@rogerstevens4818]

Hask you should have a late Friday night show just ripping the piss out of guests and the rest of the world the new top gear

[@clintonpharoah1169]

Very entertaining, god that Chloe's gorgeous. They seem a great couple and a good match. I am very impressed with Mike's nose job, considering what it was like before it looks fantastic.

[@jhonjayson2840]

10:18 got told

[@notfromthebottle4891]

Is someone sleeping just within earshot of a mic. Just a background noise I keep catching. Bizarre. Love Hask and his Mrs tho

[@NiSiochainGanSaoirse]

It's Hask.

[@CmwSpeedrunUk]

Seal the doors 😂😂😂

[@DrAAAli]

Chloe, Hask lucked in here, you're beautiful and you have literally all the qualities of a solid other half, like my wife!

[@garypierce8392]

Haskell has the sense of humour of a 12yr old

[@Ronanp5653]

Oh Jesus not these 3 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@samsheps6636]

Funniest one going

[@JOE_co_uk]

Agreed! A really strong show from Hask, Tinds and Chloe

Vicky and vivek for jenni

2:53 :-))

[@abhinababanerjee6706]

Now also they talked of that boy that reason I can lived that girl but no body cant support me

[@robbie_]

After two episodes of this I'm bored with the anecdotes. Haskell and Tindall are "a total naus", to use the vernacular (apparently every other sentence).

[@alberlusconi1]

Only a matter of time until she got her beak in the show

[@kenrehill7235]

Watched all the way through.....................not your best episode lads.

[@thehighlander959]

Farrell and Sexton in front of Russell😂😂😂😂 no wonder they are not coaches in rugby.

[@abhinababanerjee6706]

All Europe girls talking and rooming of all boys that reason all have power of boy and they got power that reason all make plain and destroyed my life my sister also help telco seniors boy my sister have boy I don't know now I know that things

[@mainsheet67]

James Haskell runs into posr

[@joannagreen1762]

Haskell is a bit immature and enjoys his life with the boys.

[@kenrehill7235]

Just for those who haven’t seen it kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGfXfp1rrMSemKc

[@LisssyB]

Painful

[@loobyt8692]

Who’s breathing is that it’s all I can hear lol

[@abhinababanerjee6706]

Satish is bjp leader I can fight them in 2003

[@AliBaba-lc8qp]

Why is Tindal even on there

[@bulltraderpt]

Third! Nearly first..

[@JOE_co_uk]

That's the real quiz

[@johntanner2217]

How can two people with such expensive educations still think that On The Road is a good novel past the age of 17

[@volemole]

What has an expensive education got to do with anything ? - it has managed to consistently churn out some of the must cerebrally stunted people in this land. Good literature is an entirely subjective affair - although recognising that Kerouac was a fine poet is a good indicator that you know anything about the written word.

[@michaeldavies5840]

struggling to watch this one, just as i got to like Haskell, he gets annoying again. I get having a wife on for that side of it, but Chloe isn't exactly your everyday rugby wife in terms of career and up bringing. And due to having his wife there is usually bearable and sometimes funny banter seems somewhat forced because he doesn't want to be out-done by the other half. Also, did someone up the sensitivity on his mic, because you can really hear his breathing.

[@joshsoesan]

Think everyone is struggling to stay awake whilst reading your boring & pointless comment . . . . Z z z z z

[@somanytakennames]

"but Chloe isn't exactly your everyday rugby wife in terms of career and up bringing." Eh? What the fuck is a "everyday rugby wife"? Are you from the 18th Century?

[@michaeldavies5840]

@@somanytakennames as in Chloe already works in a public eye, plus her parents were on the TV and therefore is not a complete stranger to the effects that come with it. So actually you are correct, i am not from the 18th century. Thanks for your input.

[@michaeldavies5840]

@@joshsoesan and yet you wrote one which appears even more boring and pointless. Thumbs up to dumb dumb.

[@somanytakennames]

@Michael Davies So? She says in the podcast she clearly explained that she was unsure at first and has similar experiences to the other non pre-famous wives. Just because she had is in the public eye doesn't mean that Haskell was going to approach his career any differently. I also fail to see how this in anyway relates to your point about Haskell. He's no different to how he is in any of the other podcasts and obviously can have a bit of fun with Chloe and vice versa. It's probably part of the reason they got married.
