Can you call Geowizard at the great mosque of Touba in Senegal? See if he can guess where you are exactly

[@TomJamesOfficial]

hahahahhah

This comment has to go to the top. Feed the algorithm!

Incredible

[@MatsSambu]

We need a full "Day in the life of Guus" as a special behind the scenes video!

[@samdunbavin]

🎉

[@MoonJuiceMan]

I cannot wait for the Sahara episodes, Russ is already a legend but that is truly going to cement him as one of the all time bests. Come on Russ!

[@jonnenne]

Russ and Guus are both insane in their own ways. I love it

[@philipkeegan4523]

Is it insane that running 50km + every day has become the norm. Russ is a savage, the mental and physical fortitude to keep going everyday despite 30°+ heat ,crazy humidity, seriously challenging running conditions, diarrahea, food poisoning physical injuries etc etc. This channel ahould be shown to any would be endurance athlete and Netflix needs to make a document about this incredible feat. Russ should have the same exposure and be talked about as guys like David Goggins. This channel deserves to blow up. KEEP STOMPING THOSE 1's AND 2's ❤

[@dal6917]

it really is insane, this should be getting so much more coverage - Also people truly don't realize how big Africa is

[@lupsik1]

Also Russ's attitude is way healthier than what Goggins does yet Goggins will keep on being glorified for what he himself admits are stupid decisions.

[@LashanR]

Gaku seems like a very chill guy for what sounds like an epic adventure

[@_Wombat]

At this point I need you guys to succeed. I am so invested in this project. Trying to spread the word as much as I can. Even the neighbours haha

[@squidsyd100]

Nice to see a bit more of Jamies personality this episode. National twats looks like a great watch

[@MrRonniecummins]

I’ll be gutted when this ends , I hope he has a few more challenges in the locker afterwards .

[@NcWcN1]

Running the length of Australia, maybe? LOL

[@FourthFitness]

@@NcWcN1Maybe around Australia 😂

[@syrus3k]

@@FourthFitness I think Russ probably never wants to run again after this.

[@charlieillingsworth9411]

He's mentioned running South America

[@james12345757]

He will say that and within a few days will be coming up with another challenge thats even more insane than this one@@syrus3k

[@BunzJackson]

Those yogurt edits really illustrate how broken the editors' minds are by this point, great stuff.

[@toadsageskateboarding7788]

The videos are getting better every single upload. Gonna be missing this content when the mission ends.

[@fergusbray3329]

I know more about Russ's bowel mouvements then my own at this point

[@gifs_for_the_peasantry]

As we should. That's the Real Juice of the whole Story. Without the Bowl movements updates it would be meaningless

[@ivanlebon4932]

Kinda crazy how long I’ve been watching this now. Really puts into perspective how fast time is flying by.

[@emmanuelcox878]

This is, without doubt, the best series I've ever watched.

[@mrharvest]

1:50 Your SEO is on point mate. You're already the first result for "that bloke running africa" with your own card and all, you're a brand

[@bongobass99]

YES!!! Finally a good reason for Sir David Attenborough to step down, National Twats looks like the award winning documentary series we’ve all been waiting for!

[@kaktusovsok]

That yoghurt sound effect caught me off guard big time lmao

[@lilme7052]

Didn't help me eating a pot noodle

[@sr3597]

By hook or by or crook yous have put together a tight little unit. Good to see you’ve all gelled and it’s shows in the videos. Find myself laughing along with you. Proper television calibre series.

[@nilsbrown7996]

I haven’t checked in in a while. Looks like a very nice rhythm has developed. The proof there is that it goes smoothly even when the Big Man is sick. None of this multiple crises stuff. Well done all of you!

[@sambodger]

I would watch 100 hours of Stan and Jamie’s Planet Earth😂

[@lilme7052]

Stan and Harry 😢

[@81clive]

That's a big Puff Adder🐍be careful with those. They can strike there own body length. Turn on themselves and strike that length too. They are very beautiful snakes👌BUT very very fast striking snakes, even thou they look slow!! A Bite out there, in the middle of Africa without an anti venom would be touch AND go! Great vlog as Always Lads!

[@lukebentley3770]

If you guys are interested, reckon the bird you saw may have been a senegal thick-knee. Loving the content - keep it coming!

[@isaacfellick6714]

That was a flying rat 🐀

[@JeyDraper]

Pretty certain that tree is known as Baobab tree, excellent in water storage and also produces baobab fruits which can be grinded with a mortar and pestle to generate a powder. It provides many African communitties with jobs and water security.

[@chris7air1760]

Maybe get off the Huel I started using Huel couple of times per day and it made me very ill. I thought I had developed IBS, forgot what it was like to have normal functioning bowels, kept getting ill was, extreme fatigue, getting ulcers in my mouth every so often. It was like my bowels were inflamed and were not absorbing nutrients from the normal food I was eating. As soon as I stopped Huel all these symptoms vanished that had been getting worse for months vanished. That stuff is dangerous.

[@fergusbray3329]

Every friend group needs a Guss

[@Casperr123]

Gotta love the banter amongst the lads. Keep it up, and keep stomping ferociously !

[@EuropesNinja]

The use of drum and bass in your editing is sublime, gorgeous, perfection.

[@jenssillesen542]

GO ON! TAKE ALL FOUR CORNERS OF AFRICA! You will be going close to Pointe des Almadies in Cap Vert Peninsula, which is the most western point. When you have been to Tunesia in the north, continue to Ras Hafun in Somalia, which is the most eastern point of the African mainland 😀

[@user-ev5ig2xw2s]

Love seeing more of Jamie!

[@EuropesNinja]

You guys honestly keep getting better and better. You’re legendary

[@mollyzeidler5494]

Seeing these videos always makes my day! Thanks Team

[@kalae0156]

That has got to be your funniest thumbnail yet. I really feel the #science

[@conorpower1923]

Gus needs to start an African food channel

[@SarahSpector1999]

I would love to see some detail on the logistics--how do you set the route each day and navigate?

[@jordanpigford4383]

Russ bro, 2 n half stone down running 6 days a week, smashing the gym, your resilience keeps me going bro, smash it lad, your a massive inspiration bro

[@user-xk5gg3oh2j]

Best episode so far, editing, soundtrack, comedy all on point

[@Seamalicous]

Stan and J just getting to mess about like a couple of 9 year olds for that intro warms the cockles of my heart

[@Michalium]

keep it going! so glad you guys still pushing on

[@noelle875]

Great episode and great edits. As always!

[@BarFlyChef]

Stan and Jamie Geographic "National Tw*ts" was epic!

[@fyroe]

Another banging episode. Much love

[@upcola]

Best channel out, love the banter

[@ineption8412]

Let’s go another hardest geezer update

[@BarFlyChef]

Bang Bang! You can do it! Strawberry Daiquiris here we come!

[@djisar-official]

What was the goal or reason for changing the channel name?

[@Tvillingklippan]

Probably figurer out that more people search for Ross Cook than hardest geezer

[@YRMW1983]

Russ’s accent makes everything funnier. Dying at the snake story 😂

[@charliekitchen4545]

Good Evening Russ, I hope you are well. Just would like to say good luck with the mission and my sincere condolences that you have to continue on it with someone from Birmingham, I know you can pull through. Kind regards,

[@ah3312]

Which one of them is from Birmingham? James has gone home. And why do you make this same comment each video? WTF has Birmingham done to you?

[@wilfsteggall2660]

Will be a sad day when this series ends😮‍💨

[@buildabody7469]

Didn’t watch this as it was happening. But I am working my way through. One of my favourite bit so far was the new years meal 😂. In a weird way, it showed the camaraderie that only comes through doing crazy stuff together.

[@thomasbirch3275]

I bought Huel because of this guy - I’m easily influenced to spend money because the content is so good

[@lb7164]

Got some Hokas, exactly

[@katanalyle6645]

Ordered some perfect ted NGL the taste was gross at first but first energy drink that didn't give me anxiety would recommend. Thanks for introducing me 🎉

[@nothanks4204]

No longer the hardest, now he's just some geezer

[@joetownsend8305]

Epic content lads

[@94perrieg]

Gus start documenting your future trips on your own channel.

[@adamgriss2025]

At 5.29 I was half expecting to hear the Benny Hill theme song as you speak the film up! 😂😂😂

[@binkybombastic6200]

You changed the channel name to Russ Cook! I liked the Hardest Geezer 😄

[@Pashizzle500]

Maybe guus ran more than him and took the hardest geezer title

[@narby7264]

Yes lads keep at it

[@TheBomber15]

I’m missing the bit where he used to say “PISSED BLUD”.

[@martinwilliamson5250]

That "running magic" little edit at 5:30 got me rolling 🤣

[@oisinmurphy8242]

The lads have good music tatse for the edit

[@kjcerebdhjd996]

why did you remove the 'pissed blood' part of the intro xD. Always thought of that to be very fitting.

[@darkmann12]

The yoghurt noises are priceless ahahahahaaaaa

[@chris_hegg]

Love it!

[@James-xn6zh]

Absolutely cracking up with the quick jives and quips in this one

[@youme1414]

Thank you, sir

[@marcosposse3750]

Need a new series after this... Rus v Gus... Do it.

[@jackkilgannon1644]

I've kinda been out of the loop for a while, where did Harry go?

[@weir1993]

Big fan of National Tw*ts

[@luke-ti3fu]

Title and thumbnail go HARD

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

Stan's back at it!

[@MrMacima]

[@robertduff877]

Stan and jamie had me dying

[@Roy_Fuk]

Hell yea big up Mitsubishi Delica!!! 10 times around the world

[@EJproductionsxD]

Now that you are closer to the finish point you need to have more guests come and join you to hype the series back up!

[@TheNathcrash]

BANG BANG

Just stomped 6k ready to overtake russ in the race to Tunisia 😤

[@messibeaucoup]

I stomped a 6k too today! Let’s go! Love running 🏃 ❤

[@MagicBaking]

I love that there was zero science in this episode apart from that is a tree 😂

[@Frank-zh8rh]

stan.... was that yogurt sound effect REALLY necessary????????

[@mzanziman9150]

Russ is the hardest mthfckng geezer. No cap

[@wanderingohm]

Stans movie magic 😂

[@bluefoxbarker]

Please make a photo book when you've finished 🙏

[@oneofmanyjames-es1643]

What happens when the beard gets so long it creates drag and slows him down?

[@Bill-lt5qf]

that yoghurt foley was a little on the loud side.

[@christopherwilkinson8796]

Guss is Gakpos brother

[@SWatchik]

Where's the overlander guys youtube?!

[@davidross5525]

Man's eating huel noodles and wondering why he's getting the shits.

[@evelowdon7815]

Why’ve you changed from Hardest Geezer to Russ Cook?

[@camkay3633]

Who the hell is Russ Cook and where is the Hardest Geezer

[@kalum5555]

BRING BACK HARDEST GEEZER, THAT WAS THE BEST NAME! 😂

[@anthea5799]

Deep fried cake yoh I would try it lol why not!

[@gingleb3792]

I'm really not sure about the yoghurt

[@SoundCheck9910]

Oi could we get a song ID for some of these tunes cause they slap

[@kkkkk12345kkkkk54321]

[@soccergalsara]

[@troymcgill4454]

What happened to the pissed blood part in the intro
