Ben's attitude is unintentional comedy.

[@yosauwer]

quite intentional

100% intentional you mean lol the accent aswell cracks me up

I wondered if Simon was looking after his nephew or something. You know the one on weed who refuses to get a job of any kind because he has mental health issues.

[@ukdavepianoman]

I knew Simon was Welsh but didn't realise he was fluent in the language. Multiple thumbs up for rattling off the place name. Ben was hilarious ("I don't need to speak [Welsh], you speak enough"!). Really love how Simon engages with anyone and everyone with respect and humour.

Always genuinely warms my heart when I see any sort of promotion of the Welsh language - particularly to an audience as big as yours. Da iawn bachgen!!

[@aldozilli1293]

Absolutely, you don't have to be Welsh to appreciate that, I'm English and love to see the language being used, in fact it's a disappointment when you see the hairdresser from Bangor yet know no Welsh, I'm not sure how that's possible in that area.

[@DarthFurball]

Simon you HAVE to bring Ben along on all your adventures. The deadpan delivery is pure gold.

truuuuu. Poland wasn't that lucky after not existing for 123 years (literally) on the maps and were forbidden to speak our native language, we've got nothing but one native language left. i wonder how many accents and "local languages" died out during that 123 years...

Now there's an idea for ya Simon. See if they can understand your Jacko/Rhos welsh..."Ydych y'n eisio... cup of tea mate?" 🤣

[@worldtravelimagesnet]

He just went there and did a video about that!

[@wavejumpinseadoo]

Probably my favourite video you’ve done, Simon! Would love to see more of you exploring Wales. Interviewing people in Welsh gets a perspective English speakers usually miss

[@rehabwales]

You wanna whatch his Solo in Argentina video.

Ben is a level set. Simon is like “hey nice to meet you. Tell me your story.” Ben is like “Are we there yet and can we go home now?”

No, he's the straight man. He needs Simon as a foil.

Truly fascinating hearing so much Welsh, my grandad on mums side was born in wales and my great-grandad on my dads side was too, my great-grandmother used to shout “cau'r drws” which means shut the door but I’ve lived in England my whole life, my parents were born in England too, brilliant to see the Welsh keeping their language alive

[@Glazier-nm4gn]

Brilliant to hear Welsh spoken ... English man here but its really important to increase the level of Welsh and preserve the languages in the British Isles.... How many speak Welsh as their first language.. Interested to know... Manx , Cornish, Irish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic need a boost and need to be taught and preserved as do local dialects .... Is Welsh different between North and south Wales..... Finally ... Ben is just so "Kevin and Perry" .... Hilarious.... Next Welsh place gotta be Snowdonia and Beddgelert....

[@rehabwales]

Absolutly agree more diversity in language needs to be heard in the UK as a whole and yes that is a difference between south and north Walien.

[@júgadorAsh]

We need more Ben and Simon videos the dynamic is hilarious

[@adventuresfromelle]

So happy to learn about somewhere closer to home through your lens! After exploring the whole world, sometimes getting back to your roots is needed

I really wish Welsh was more spoken in Wales, its such an interesting and historic language. So many of our smaller languages in the UK are either gone or at serious risk of dying out due to the dominance of English. Was good to see that those young lads at the start could speak and understand Welsh though.
