All I can say is the kindness Robbie has shown me has been mind blowing. Supporting me behind the scenes and inviting me in to his home to meet his family and offer his help and advice. The nicest bloke you could ever meet.

[@costa4178]

True Geordie this is huge, congrats!!

Deserved Geordie well in mate x

Your hard work is finally paying off, Congratulations on the success man. Pleased to see you rising to the top. Not long till you and Laurence have the number 1 podcast in the world. Keep it up Brian, These podcasts have come a long way in the past year!

[@ethanhughes1816]

Want to know why this is my favourite episode yet? The last thing I ever did with dad was watch Robbie at Knebsworth. I must have only been 4 years old and we got a mattress, put it in the lounge and stayed up all night and day watching him. A few days later my dad left me and my mum and it’s one of the only memories I have with him. Since then Robbie has, and always will be my favourite artist. Thank you so much for this mate, means the fucking world to me ❤️

Robbie to Laurence: "You always jump in and spoil things" fucking cracked me up

[@nostromani]

Robbie has always been, and will always be, a really top bloke, regardless of whether you like his sense of humour or not. On one hand he's a class act and a global superstar. On the other he's a canny fella from Stoke on Trent that you could have a beer and a laugh with down the local boozer. He's a likeable, ordinary legend and that's his legacy.

[@kieranross4547]

It's mental that I used to watch you on KickTv ranting about Newcastle, now you are doing 3 hour interviews with Robbie Williams and Alan Shearer. You are a fucking inspiration man.

[@Michaelb17897]

Geordie "What's it like having people?" Geordie "Cause I'm looking forward to having, I want people!" Geordie "Can I have people?" Laurence "you've got some people." Geordie "I've got some people but I want more people" Laurence "sometimes you treat your equals as if they're your people" The greatest conversation ever to be had and I am fucking dead

[@sarahc561]

Newbie here, just wanted to say how impressed I am with the effort you've put into the research Mr Geordie . Thank you so much. I've been a Rob fan since 1992 so feel like I know a lot about the man . This is great to see a much more in depth interview not just the superficial stuff and YOU must be a decent bloke cause Robs properly opening up to you. I feel like I got to see the real person rather than the 'Robbie' character. Thank you.

[@Scoobay]

Only 90 minutes in but this has really gripped me, wasn’t expecting to be so in to a Robbie Williams interview. Never realised how relatable he is.

I lol'd at how Brian is just stone cold wearing a bomber jacket, t shirt and sweatpants when meeting one of UK's pop icons. (dontgochanging?) Enjoy.

[@TrueGeordie]

Nailed me there pal 😂

[@duffmanbuzzin2k8]

I struggled to understand why people would take 3 hours out of their day to watch a KZbin video, until I watched this series, but especially this episode. So laid back and just really interesting. You guys deserve the success that is coming to you

[@duffmanbuzzin2k8]

Yes you are right. People do watch films and tv because it is entertainment. Most of those things however have massive publicity campaigns from their broadcasters and film companies. These guys, like most youtubers, don't have anywhere near that, So I never fully understood it because it isn't as popularised. Regardless... I'm looking forward to seeing what happened when someone gets behind them, because it will blow up.

[@SCM793]

Liam Reay I was same but these guys make it work

[@davidfree007]

We watch these interviews as you can really get into the meat of what someone is about. 5 minutes on Jonathan Ross really doesnt tell you what someone is made of. A lot of us thought Robbie Williams was an arse, but now you hear the story from his perspective and you realise that they were getting shafted and he wasnt having any of it... so just doing what any of us would have done!

[@Jack-is9sm]

Long form conversation is extremely entertaining, as it gets so much further than the normal TV show interview format. Obviously The Joe Rogan Experience is another excellent example of this type of great podcast. Depending on the person Joe Rogan has on , of course.

[@sko1beer]

pls do Dave Chappelle

[@charliechaori182]

I'm only 10 minutes in and Robbie takeing a interst in geordies friends shobiz childhood has allready gave me good vibes about this guy!

[@MullanMedia96]

I think my favourite moment out of all the Podcasts has to be from Robbie at 1:52:50, where he just looks at Laurence with such disappointment and claims " You always jump in and spoil things" hahaha

I love Robbie's realness and sense of humor.

[@flyingspurr84]

Smashing it out the park. There are no limits to what you two can achieve together. Robbie was a brilliant guest, would love to see him on again. Was really good to see him asking you questions as well. An icon and such a nice, caring person. Maybe he could host an episode and ask you two about yourselves more!

[@flyingspurr84]

Robbie, if there is any chance you see this, you’re a hero 🤜🏻

[@danrowe3682]

I second this ^

[@Gorantaylis]

I wish all celebrities were like Robbie: kind and honest, and actually down to earth. Class act!

[@shootatsquare]

TheSharkLord I think he's trying to get across that more celebrities are like this than it seems. How they're portrayed and who they are can be quite a different thing

[@ljp8947]

Here at 4am cause i can't sleep as a Rob fan. LOVE that Pete was involved in this. Stories i hadnt heard before, i laughed out loud. Great work guys!

[@leemetronicle]

I met Robbie Williams when I was young in Cornwall. I remember he was super down to earth and genuinely excited at interacting. I would’ve been about 9 and he was asking if I was chasing girls (it was on a radio 1 beach concert in Falmouth) and if I was, he could help. He spent about 10mins chatting to me - always had an affinity for him since then

[@goiregaraat96]

I'm a young musician playing in a metal band and recording various different styles of music. My dad passed away earlier this year and he was always really proud of me in what I do with music and everything in life. I'm 20 so I've got a lot to do in life and hopefully get somewhere with music. When robbie got his dad down it made me really chuffed how proud you can tell his dad is. Really made me think about my dad, especially as today is fathers day, the first one I've spent without my dad. This was a great podcast. I've never been a big listener of robbie but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you true geordy and the rest of the team! Big love x

You and Loz have fully changed the game. Feel proud to be one of the few who saw the vision and was with you from the iPad on an ironing board days. Mad how far you’ve come lad. Keep grinding! 💪🏻

I love reading these comments of people that probably disliked Rob before watching this. They now see what us, his fans have always known. Funny, charismatic, talented, caring and just an all round great guy. So great to see such a long interview. It flew buy could sit and watch another 3 hours.

[@kuolemanlaakso1696]

I take issue with your comment "They now see what us, his fans have always known". You didn't know him personally at all, you had access to the same media stuff as everyone else and were simply a fan out of blind ignorance and faith. That doesn't make you a fucking oracle, who knew that he was a human being underneath!? There's always a moron like you in the comments of videos like these.

[@TheAltair2012]

Makes you wonder why this style if interview isn't done more, is it because most celebs couldn't do an interview like this? Or is it because the interviewers aren't able to make their guests relax and let their walls down?
