The Lockdown Show | Newsy McNews News

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Obviously this was filmed before Marquez announced he wouldn’t be riding in Qatar! Thanks. Bye. X

[@pu11y]

Where do we send the growler pics too?

[@LushmanGB]

Was that announcement from anonymous Source?

[@hkeg80]

Honestly, nobody should race in Qatar, we should all boycott that horrible nation

[@connor9209]

Anonymous tip... Marquez has changed his mind... he will race in rnd 1.

[@Shifty_Malone]

@@pu11y as well?

[@Murray_23]

Hats off to Chris for sharing his story with his mental health. 👏👏👏👏

[@Plasticjesus504]

Seriously man. I completely understand what he is going through.

[@stephensmith7651]

I've never suffered with mental health at all in my life, but there have been stages over the different lockdowns where I could feel my head just start to go. Then my relationship ended and she went back to her mums so that didn't help, but it's stuff like this that helps you know. PS; her mum's an arsehole.

[@CaiStroudHD]

Always been good for that stuff when you go on his channel bvg, for those that struggle the video is called, it’s somewhat comforting and I don’t mean this in a horrid way but someone that shares those feelings

[@Murray_23]

My wife has suffered very badly with anxiety. She was off work for months. Thankfully she is coming out the other side of it now. While I haven't had any mental health issues myself, seeing it first hand I can relate with how bad it can get, with seemly no way out at times. I applaud Chris for talking about his story because the 'man up' mentality of so many men is not helping the male suicide rates. The more male public figures talking about their experiences the better.

[@davidhardstaff8110]

As a now none medicated bi polar sufferer, takes strength and trying to deal with 40 unexpected moods a day to know how confused you get so yes finding that little task to occupy your mind helps. I've never said that before.

[@SkullNoir]

I appreciate Chris for being honest about his mental health but also respect to Fagan for being silent and just letting him vent.

[@alimikahaka85]

How Boothy’s managed to make it 10 weeks without getting shanked and laid to rest amongst the mattresses is beyond me. Glad he is still going though. Cheers for another one lads.

[@spikke69]

Thank you for your honesty surrounding mental health, it’s a subject that is very difficult to broach.

[@gingergomoto8787]

Literally this is the only good thing about Monday’s....love it!

[@lukaszg74]

You have poor live than

[@v2moto]

Thanks for featuring my Streetfighter guys! Very proud of how it turned out. Keep it up! I'm always looking forward for the next thing you guys drop.

[@lki5678]

It looks amazing also been seeing it on the gram lately

[@martythompson6509]

Hi Chris. That was a perfectly presented sharing of your personal challenges. Humble, brutally honest with a humorous black, bent and not a touch of virtue signalling. 👍

[@ian1patterson]

Shout out Chris for being courageous enough to speak up about depression/anxiety issues in your personal life. I have battled with this on and off since the age of 18 (50 now) and it is still a very stigmatized subject. Well done.

[@StevieSmith77]

I'm medicated in the same way. it doesn't just take the edge off depression, it takes the edge off everything

[@daviescjh]

Baron fair play mate. Similar situation. Medicated for about 8 years. Well done for speaking out. It’s really important. Much love.

[@AntaresSQ01]

44Teeth: "We got no news this week" Also 44Teeth: **Makes the longest lockdown show yet**

[@blackbarry]

ikr? lol

[@GMss101]

Your impression of Julian Ryder is spot on 🤣🤣🤣

[@Robs1968]

Wow love this episode. Chris what a great moment on the mental issues we have at times with super highs and super lows. When I ride I can at times feel like complete dirt but then have complete highs of enjoying the moment of a sunset ride, music n the bike underneath me rumbling. Hats off guys!👍😁👍

[@MJW59]

I for one don't care how often the show comes out as long as it doesn't lose its authenticity. Don't make it too polished and "professional". You are onto something here. I'll literally have this playing in my living room as if I was hanging out with you fellas. Good shit.

[@andrew78219]

Really enjoyed Chris's chat around 23:00, made me feel a lot better. Still loving the show. Wishing you both all the best 👍🏼

[@henriksnderby2399]

Chris - I'm massively impressed that you share your issues with us. If only we all had your courage. I wish you all the best in getting on without medication!!

[@Cosmic_Wizard]

Mr. Boothroyd is moving up in the world, he's now got a leather sofa 😄 Cheers boys 👍 BTW, I bought 4 bags of Mini Eggs today 😂

[@FortyFourTeeth]

4?! You animal 👊🏼

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Massive, massive thank you for not hiding the mental health thing out of view of the camera, you probably underestimate the positive effect you've had on people watching. Big respect!

[@rafaellastracom6411]

Good on you for mentioning your mental health management. There are many people out there who need help and are afraid to talk about it. Having someone speak openly about these issues goes a long way to help others out. Good on you.

[@stephenallen9037]

You guys just earned a lot more respect from me, talking that openly about your personal mental health on a show like this takes balls, keep up the good work

[@DahleJohannes]

Wish you luck, Chris. I remember when you posted the video talking about your struggles on BVG. I can relate and hope you feel okay without the meds!

[@johnkennedy1506]

Props to Chris - stunning comments, and put in a way that takes away the stigma. You’ve got people all around the world enjoying your content and laughing their asses off at your jokes.

[@Altanabstick]

Chris, been dealing with the same in the past. Sometimes still need to remind myself not to overthink the things I feel and just let them be. Wanted to let you know you're not alone out there, I applaude your decision.

[@bowlerball4246]

A massive well done, and thanks to the both of you for putting this absolute banger of a show together for the last 10 weeks.. going to miss this. But most of all I will miss... JOHNY BANKS!!!!

[@stephenchapman8344]

When the fog lifts, another BBB please. 😀👍

[@user-pc4xc3rb7l]

Well done Chris. I’ve tried coming off medication and it’s destroyed me. Thanks for addressing the situation in a non “poor me poor me, I’ve given up”

[@toddstahley4256]

Hey Chris I have recently experienced the same mental problems I’m on meds now and helping me as well. Couldn’t stop crying. I appreciate you talking about this it makes me feel normal

[@petet8594]

Thanks Chris for sharing your mental health with us, it’s definitely been a tough few month’s, keep up the good work guys love Monday’s now 👍🏻

[@Plasticjesus504]

Thank you Chris for sharing man. More people need to share so that mental health needs to come to the forefront. I completely understand what your going through and appreciate you sharing.

[@earlebacciochi9796]

A cross between a married couple and a comedy duo? Thanks Chris and Al always raises my spirits ❤

[@yonniboy1]

Thanks lads for helping to keep us half sane during lockdown, please keep the weekly news it's been both informative and hilarious.

[@FancyAnimal]

Worst 4 moments of my life: 1. When my cat died. 2. When my woman left me. 3. When I lost my house. 4. When Chris and Al debated music.

[@NotNowCato1254]

Ay up Fancy! That's all well and good but you need to get back to producing your own top end content 👌😁

[@FrogBoyDances]

Thank you for your description of your anxiety and the way you felt with the medication as my husband had exactly the same experience so it was nice for him to know he's not alone. Keep up the good work, even if it's not every week. Your efforts are appreciated 👍

[@connor9209]

Big shout out to Chris for sharing! Know exactly the position your in, my Mrs has / is going through exactly what your doing. She was on meds for a long long time, then decided she’s had enough, gradually reduced the meds. Finally coming off them, and now she’s 32 weeks med free. Feeling the best she’s ever felt. Keep at it Chris, hats off to you mate. Stay strong 💪

[@briansteele2723]

Thanks Chris, if it makes you feel better watching your content has really helped me get through the year. I also agree it is good to turn off social media and fill the day with projects in the garage or house instead!

[@CarlosTilbury]

Hey Chris, well done for sharing, think we're all suffering in some way.

[@richmcnab8925]

Jokes in Latin has to be the most Partridge 44 teeth moment yet! Love it lol

[@garethprice561]

Good on you for sharing that Chris. I came off my meds six months ago and have bad days/weeks but ultimately I’m glad I have and hope you do too.

[@SimonHarveyPhotography]

chaps.... you two are the Morcambe and Wise, Cannon and Ball, Two Ronnies of the bike world.... thank the Lordy lord for 44 Teeth... keep on chugging... Chris, hats off for talking about your mental health issues... I've also been on sertraline for about 4 years... and have also tried in the past to wean myself off it... sadly, i can't... but it does help knowing other peeps are in the same boat!! 👍🏻

[@Kickassdave]

Thank you for sharing your experiences of mental health. I was touched, in a non sexual way, by your honesty. The 44teethers are always here for you guys.

[@michaelbrown9363]

Cheers Chris for sharing your journey. I wish the best for you.

[@petereeves1354]

Watched sober for the first time, thankfully it's just as good. Stooley Italy still in full lockdown. Thanks & good luck Chris.

[@alexpage7292]

Chris thank you for being so open about your mental health. It really helps to know that we aren’t alone. Much love 👊🏻

[@SargentSkroonk]

Thanks for sharing Chris. I've been through the same and you're exactly right about being in a mediated bubble. I'm glad you're off the drugs, and that you'll be feeling things more intensely again. We would much rather see you as yourself. ✌️🤙

[@m7streetpilot542]

Chris, I'm really impressed. There are alot of us that are totally behind you. Stay strong! M7

[@yourmove9993]

Good on your Chris! Why own one bike when you can have a fleet! Also, please can the lockdown show never end as it has become part of my routine and i very much enjoy it. Big love 44 Teeth keep it up 👍

[@Chrisrides]

Boys thanks for the smiles and honesty! And my favourite song is C.L.U from the film Tron: Legacy. Just feels biblical and gives me goose bumps every single time.

[@stephenbrower8517]

Good on you Chris...you can definitely overcome this. I also went through something similar to you and now I’m off all that garbage so keep on keeping on brother! GodBless!

[@jamest5149]

Bending titanium is very difficult, that’s why they pie cut them. 2 strokes are pie cut because they are cones.

[@1Beetlegeuse]

Its not actually. Goodfabs in the UK sell tighter bends than that in .9mm Titanium and inconel, sell a lot of stuff for F1. Just done for looks and all the colouring. F1 doesnt bother with pie cuts or titanium.

[@gucky4643]

So glad your keeping this going! I've watched everyone and the are bloody brilliant 👏

[@nickmurray721]

Just a quick note to thank you both for producing the lockdown videos, whatever you do next I am confident will be just as entertaining as you guys have the right “stuff”

[@Invisible_Cities]

Thanks for sharing Chris, made me feel better to hear how you simplify.

[@haroonkhan8179]

Love you Chris and Al thanks for the content. Chris I hope you feel better without the meds you're not the only one who suffers brother x

[@sickunit2096]

Enjoying the show from my hospital bed this week. Covid and pneumonia. Cheers lads.

[@dumbwaiter3644]

Thanks Chris. Talking about your depression can help others.It helped me a bit. I was retired on ill health grounds over 20 years ago and still struggle daily but am currently off medication.

[@mattc8797]

Guys.. you are a pair of absolute legends... thank you for being you. most You-tubers/channels are just people chatting to a camera. You guys are like mates i tune in to have a laugh with on zoom (where i don't say anything.. just laugh) thank you.... i hope this segment continues after lockdown. also Chris... that took a lot of man swingers to say what you said. thank you for giving a voice to people who feel like they are alone. #leg-end!

[@seano4214]

If these become monthly I hope they are almost a feature film length to tide us over the weeks there is no 'The Lockdown Show'. Seriously though, love the way you guys make the show seem off the cuff and it's a refreshing approach to deliver something that we find uplifting, entertaining some factual info to seamlessly link everything together. The MASS-DEBATE needs to stay! PS: before jumping on our off-road bikes my mates and I always used to put on The Offspring, let's say we thought were could ride like the guys on the Crusty Demons videos (accidents usually followed).

[@petebennett7008]

Lads thank you.. appreciate the effort that goes into these nuggets of gold. Content is on point 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@daveogorman5929]

Today just got that bit better. Thanks lads

[@stevofoz]

Have loved every one of these lockdown specials - if we had something in a similar format once a month, I reckon the masses would be happy!

[@64t120r]

Chris, I gained a lot of respect for you in this show. Thanks for sharing that.

[@djg9589]

This is so good I have just sat and watched it again 😂 Chris - my wife is all for bedtime stories read by you 😂 love the dwarf spec & Julian Ryder impression ! Cheers for lifting the nation’s spirit, chaps 🤙🏻

[@gutserker]

I feel you, Chris. This winter has been difficult for me. My ability to continue working has fallen to a fifth of what I was doing during the summer

[@jamiedaugherty1]

Chris listens to certain music because it makes him happy. I watch these videos because listening to you guys banter makes me happy.

[@M4Hamm]

Thanks for pointing out the reason for the dots on tires James. We do this in aviation, but almost never find motorcycle shops in Canada get this right.

[@flipflopjujitsu]

At the end of every Monday I think “balls, 4 more days” and then I remember it’s 44teeth day! Hats off to Chris as well.

[@gregsoucie]

Really respect the mental health talk Chris. Good for you man. Hope you're doing ok and the honesty is very much appreciated. I'm feeling not myself lately from the lack of social interaction (I miss my mates and family). We disagree a bit I think about solutions to the coronavirus stuff, but whatever. I'm glad you're doing ok and again, thanks for talking about this. Solid work.

[@lucasrustt]

20:01 I had this theory that bikers are faster in a car on the track most of the time because they feel a lot safer on 4 wheels lol

[@davidgreen7392]

Good news on the BBC!

[@Some_kind_of_Steve]

Well done Chris. Brave to share your story and well done for easing off the Medication. I've been there, people don't understand the song "Comfortably numb" until they've been on antidepressants. I've been off mine for s few years now. It's a strange thing to come off them. You will feel weird and emotions will come out of nowhere, remember it's normal to feel things and however you react to something (including bursting I to tears for no reason... Been there) is normal. Make sure to do it slowly and remember if you need to increase the dose again, IT HAS NOT BEATEN YOU! Take your time. Stay safe dude!

[@FalconPunch1978]

Cindys tips were nice. Thanks!

[@SweDownhill]

Important topic Chris, thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best! This is kind of a hidden consequence of the pandemic and the isolation that's related to it, so I really think this topic needs more attention.

[@michaelcohen6272]

You guys have cheered me up through this last lockdown, keep up the good work

[@Stevedv5]

Thankyou for sharing chris, I too suffer from anxiety. It has been debilitating for me as a biker. I stopped meds a few years ago as I didn't do well on them. Unless you suffer you have no idea what it's like. Again we'll done for sharing.

[@Phatonewinner]

I love Mondays.... Al, I'm 100% with you on the music front... The Mexican is a great tune. ( love a bit of 98-05 dnb, Chris, the M5 sounds amazeballs, also thanks for the bit about mental health awareness. Hope withdrawal from the meds isn't too tough. It takes a lot to talk about this kind of thing... massive respect.

[@Phatonewinner]

Oh yea, DH mountain biking is the next best thing to motorbikes 😉👍

[@northwalesrider8422]

Hi Chris top man for sharing your story. I also suffer with Mental Health over the last 5 years, last year in particular was the worst for me as my Versys 1000 17 plate was written off due to a lorry reversing into me. and since May last year I haven't had a bike and that's seriously damaged my Mental Health as the freedom of the bike just makes me feel better and such a release . Great news, I have just ordered a 2018 GS Adventure in triple black from watching your video a while back and should be with me at the end of this week, happy days. So thanks to you and Al for keeping us all entertained with amazing content. all the best Jason. NorthWalesRider

[@_Makanko_]

It's a good thing that there is time to do more things but I certainly want to have this show on a monthly or bi-weekly release if possible. Read some crazy stuff went down in Bristol, hope everyone is okay. Things are tough for a lot of folks. This show uplifts my spirit so cheers!

[@shanweg]

Hello 44 teeth enjoy the content and the channel in general. Don’t generally add comments but Chris touch on mental health and in particular he coping mechanism being polishing and cleaning. Most stressful things in life being births death and moving house - things out of your control. Polishing your bike and seeing something through from start to finish - things you can control. Keep strong Chris and continue to do things you enjoy which are in your control and continue to build your mental strength. Keep the videos coming guys, you are helping a lot of people through this terrible time 👍

[@butlersg1]

Brilliant show - glad you’re keeping it on in some form....

[@michaelrussom9347]

Good diet and exercise is the best things for mental health, obviously the pharmaceutical companies would rather medicate you as there's so much money in that, but a healthy diet is so important. Good luck with it. Best thing to come out of covid is this show, please keep it coming.

[@JDeezle21]

That MV Exhaust was absolutely beautiful!!!!

[@windinthewillows6248]

Thanks Chris for sharing your mental health with us. I am struggling with it, for more than two years, and the COVID-19 lockdown has just fanned the flames. You guys, as well as otherwise youtube channels have been a godsend, appreciate all your hard work. Hope your be able to come off the medication ok and find a good place to be in the coming months. 👍 (I’m with you on the BBC, junked my TV license long time ago, happily live without TV, but not without a bike). 👍

[@matmiller5256]

Great show guys ! Thanks for uploading. Esp like the Growler/exhaust section.

[@scott2ride607]

22min. I'm glad to hear you're going off the meds. I did the same myself and its a different struggle but I believe its a better way to approach depression and anxiety. I agree with your metaphor about the feeling of being in a bubble where you're emotions are "flat" and you don't get excited about things when on meds.

[@pnwet_rider]

Good to hear you are keeping the news!

[@fredintheshed176]

Great show guys... Gets better every week, glad to hear it's going to be kept on in the future even if it's not weekly, fair play Chris, it's good to hear someone talk about the topic which is so taboo and judged.... Genuinely the whole 44teeth has pulled me out of the shit over the last year.... Much love and respect to all...

[@BusaLova]

DJ Tiesto - Suburban Train, the original almost 10 minute one. What a proper heavy hitter. Also, the MV Agusta growler had me going 'Chris, what's wrong with you?! Thats a bloody beauty!'

[@raymonddix6315]

Fairplay Chris hope all goes well remember we all love you 😍and love how you boys have looked after us over lockdown 👌🏍🏍🏍🏍

[@andybucher452]

Thanks for sharing Chris, it takes some balls to do so. Great that you guys are talking about mental health, because it still is a bit of a tabu amongst guys.

[@alexandernoble8447]

Big thing to talk about your mental health chris..👏👏👏 Great show gents. 👍

[@kgreg7500]

I’m on the same type of tablets Chris and struggle to come off them so fair play to you

[@tobysemler]

Well done Chris for taking a break from the meds for a while. Even if you go back on you haven't lost, you're still trying to get by. You'll make it off them for good in the end. I did. All the best.

[@mickhatin7409]

Apart from watching MotoGP I stopped giving a fuck about bikes about 2 years ago, but these shows have reinvigorated my interest and this is a bloody laugh. Please continue when the UK is back to normal if you lads still have the time!

[@sreduos]

Thanks guys! These shows have been next level good!

[@jasminewaakaaaronjackson7661]

I need an hour of Chris ranting please, would honestly make my day lol.

[@JEPPAY]

47:25 - i sat with that thought throught the episode. Those small sections throughout. So when you do stuff that would normally be ONE video and then another event would have its own video too. Save every 2 of those events during a month and have it be a bit for the "44Teeth McTeeV show"

[@GR-yf1cm]

Awesome love the show please don't stop

[@taborthijssen6438]

Big thanks to Chris for mentioning this. I've had a burnout for the past 2 years and I definitely recognise that flatline feeling that nothing excites you at all even if its about bikes or cars or whatever. Or the random crying and you think to yourself, what the hell just happened? :) I didnt take any medication but through a lot of talking I guess I'm mostly ok now but I'm not sure if I ever will be the same person like before but hey.....it is what it is....

[@johnrode7109]

This is a great show !
