"The purpose of Speedos is to attract other gentlemen" is probably the most honest sentence ever spoken on telly.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Speedos are Australian. And they certainly don't attract the ladies ☹️

Notice how he nonchalantly buttons his suit jacket once he stands up in the green room, then unbuttons when he sits down on the sofa. Body language screams etiquette but his language throws you off and I love that 🤣

[@CustomiZe_]

He also waits for Jonathan to begin to sit down first and then he sits down with him.

Being an ex alcoholic myself I cna tell you what Gordon says is 100% true. You can talk to him all you want but until he has hit rock bottom and wants to stop himself he will not stop.

did you take anything in replacement dor alcohol?

[@ericsmith6315]

Ambrose you are 100% correct! I'm currently a drinker (to the excess) and if you have found a way out then I have nothing but admiration for you! Well done mate

[@TheDantheman12121]

@@ricksanchez3189 Yes. I am sorry to say I replaced one addiction with another. It is not pain pills but it is prescribed and it makes it so I can still live a normal life. Since stopping I have passed my driving test and have held down jobs.

[@TheDantheman12121]

@@ericsmith6315 I am sorry to hear that mate. I know how hard it is. Idk what you are currently like but when I was drinking to say it was to excess would be an understatement. I would wake up at 6-7 am and start drinking all through the day. I was that bad that when I had no drink the shakes was so bad that I could barely even talk. But I met my now wife and meeting her gave me the strength to actually stop and stay stopped.

I was friends with Gordon's brother for a while and would give him a lift in my car, he'd always offer to pay me and was never anything other than polite and good laugh, I obviously knew him at a good stage in his life, hope things finally work out for him. he never once gave it the big one about being Gordons brother either, looks just like him and I had to ask.

[@peregrinex7523]

oh damn when was this

[@pushthetempo2]

Interesting, hearing Gordon talk about his brother and drug addiction. Another view would be that he and his brother are both addicts to escape their past and pain, his brother uses drugs, while Gordon uses work. He’s a workaholic, it’s a much more acceptable form of addiction.

[@utv5490]

Very, very, very generous of you lol. Are you his agent???

@Jennifer Curtis Because his brand hasn't been built off him being delicate and caring, you find bad language cringe and yet people find individuals who want to cancel someone fully qualified to do their job for how they express themselves more cringe.

[@jac9301]

What a projected load of absolute tosh, Gordon has been at peace about his past for nearly two decades by his own admission and his brother is chemically addicted to substances thanks to his ignorance.....also with the amount of lives destroyed by it and the damage it causes being a workaholic definitely isn't seen as smart nor acceptable.

Great interview! Love the old school back and forth.

[@BBCLookNorth]

I really rate Mr Ramsey as one of a handful of the very best for what He has achieved and continues to do. Have seen videos of him mentoring online and believe that the way he imparts his knowledge so elocentley but passionately is admirable. I really do hope that He he has left that 'Reality TV' persona behind for good.

Very down to Earth considering how successful he’s been for the past 20 years.

[@jac9301]

It's been less than a decade since his resturant empire nearly went bankrupt and he nearly bankrupted himself to finance it with over five million in cold hard cash and he nearly tore his family apart thanks to his fling with a dominatix.....hardly a measure of a juggernaut.

Speedos are a Nightmare for my generation, but I met a Carpenter who just happened to be a member of the "Sailing Club" that the Kennedy's and Arnold belonged to, and they "All wore Speedos". We all Love Bikinis, which, we are told are "Sexist", but it seems to me that the Feminist Movement has Vetoed Speedos because of an unwritten rule that "Men are not allowed to compete with women as Sex Objects": There is "No Pocket for the Wallet" in a Speedo. As a 13-year-old I was on a Swim Team and that's all anyone wore, including the Girls, I would be staring at their nipples and they would be staring at the bump in my trunks, so I can appreciate the "My Eyes are up Here" comment that women often make. I think the "Dress Code" of the Spartans would do more for Sexual Equality than all the one-sided laws that tend to tip the balance in the Opposite Way. By the way, if Gordon could "Bring his Cuisine" to a Drive thru, like In- N-Out, that would be Revolutionary.

The craving will last a lifetime.
