this podcast is slowly getting more chaotic and its just so good

[@sofiaaaxo]

The fake crying part was genuinely so funny omg I can’t

[@evabole]

CRYING at the riff off, this needs to be regular thing !!!

[@lucyloo2874]

george i can’t believe you’d spoil that max dies at the end of season 1 thanks a lot

[@MxLisaRain]

max you need to show the most insane glee scenes to george for your channel, there's something insanely entertaining about straight men reacting to glee

[@carysrichards9689]

they way george whipped out R U Crazy by Conor Maynard was incredible😂😂

[@yilba]

Nevermind a gas leak on Glee, was there a gas leak this day in the podcast studio?! This was the most chaotic thing I’ve ever watched/heard 😂

[@Anthonydbrown13]

I cannot believe you didn't include "Rachel got jealous of a potential new glee club recruit, so instead of sending her to the audition, sends her to a crackhouse instead"

[@beebus_]

"teckets" keeps making me giggle

[@sofiaaaxo]

George saying „das ist falsch“ was SO UNEXPECTED but we love a German speaking king! Lots of love from Germany xxx

[@D3ad_ghoul]

Them just singing is so funny but also it wasn’t even bad like it was actually decent 😂❤

[@tarrarowan5214]

George’s Jeremy Clarkson impression was spot on

[@sofiaaaxo]

Feel like George was doing more random sound effects/accents/weird noises than normal this episode lmao

[@flaminmongrel6955]

I suspect powder but not sure.

[@JBW27]

Loving the off-the-wall energy this episode. Whatever it is you did before shooting it, keep doing it because it's working 😅 The singing bit is literally my energy level at 3am when I've got a 6am alarm set 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@ultra_violent]

the thumbnail had me thinking they got jeremy clarkson on the pod 😭😭😭

[@jessjones4808]

PLEASE do a riff off on tour i’ll cry

[@eviewalker8368]

please keep doing longer episodes 🙏

[@frejarrr]

as a musical theatre student, the harmonising was better than half my year group xo

[@LGC996]

max thought we wouldn’t notice if he wore the same jumper twice…

[@luigispasta]

max thinks we don't notice the same hat every ep (with love

[@JBW27]

I haven't seen Watch My Chops for probably 18 years, and had completely forgotten about it existing. But thank you for bringing it back to me, I LOVED that show 😂

[@possiblyignore]

max and george for pitch perfect 4??

[@angelinas1684]

GET CALLUM ON THE POD!!!

[@dannameansjudge]

this is officially my favourite podcast episode just bc they're talking about glee thank you max

[@jemess116]

GEORGE’S IMPRESSION FROM WATCH MY CHOPS WAS SPOT ON

[@dnjfdbgfothjnt]

The riff offs are now mandatory for each episode no discussion

[@cutiepie23428]

pls do a riff off every episode it gives me life xxx

[@larar.sukkari5692]

I am in such shock I used to watch Corneil and Bernie in French but I totally forgot abt it till now when I searched up “what’s the watch my chops cartoon in French” and recognized the cartoon! Thank you George for awakening this deep childhood memory of mine which was almost fully forgotten xx

[@bronwyn.mj03]

Who knew this episode would practically be a musical

[@korina-ellap3867]

57:20 max’s legs swinging like he’s on a rollercoaster 😭

[@liajordann]

CRYING

[@jodiebatchelor4223]

Both of you were on top form for this podcast 😂😂❤️ More of this please 😂

[@AmmarahA]

I genuinely had no idea I knew watch my chops until George sang the theme tune and I found myself knowing the words so it was very much needed

[@friezenfan]

I often wonder what Glee would do with issues in the world today. For it's time it was groundbreaking. Thanks for this episode. You are amazing Max

[@shanniedxx]

One of the best eps yet!!! Loved it!!!

[@han.ridl3y]

best part of sunday 🙏

[@JBW27]

The singing is so spot on by both of you that I'll be surprised if you don't get a copyright strike 😉😂😋🤦🏻‍♂️

[@han.ridl3y]

I SUGGESTED U DID THAT GLEE REAL OR FAKE THING IM SO GLAD YOU DID IT

[@emmaslifeonfilm]

the set up to announce the episode being glee theme was too good

[@ca2489]

what happens if you have sent in a dilemma however the situation changed & u now have a better dilemma for it??

[@torackplays]

Bulbasaur’s little trick move had me cackling in public

[@cierraclemens18]

2nd time that George has done Hey Ya in the "riff off" btw

[@rad8373]

56:17 this is amazing never stop the riff offs

[@cestmoi898]

Was having an off day until this 😂😂🦋🦋🦋

[@claireport22]

Yes I've heard of the show George is on about I actually remember watching as a kid

[@liajordann]

i appreciate how max uses his whole body anytime he sings or freestyle raps

[@meganstapo1867]

incredible episode

[@mriarnkin]

i feel high as fuck watching this episode

[@EleanorTyldsley]

This feels like a musical episode

[@Raven_Luna_Tick]

Can we please have more of Callum on screen. Damn baby got back.

[@han.ridl3y]

i saw glee and clicked.

[@mads2557]

crying just a bit cause my email was read xxxxxxxxxx

[@annad693]

Best episode!!😂

[@miabutler3901]

17:20 that doesn’t even look like max😭😭😭😭

[@LuluOConnor-rm5vv]

what does season 2 mean do we have to wait like 6 months after the tour for an episode very confused

[@johnking5174]

No, I think they have pre recorded podcasts for when they are on tour, and then the new season kicks in. They will move to a brand new studio, and it will look very different to what we have been used to. So no need to worry

[@emilysyoutubeaccount4894]

George has a great radio presenter voice

[@AlenaUniverse]

this episode feels like a fever dream

[@srhtjuhh9134]

Max and George need to sing at the live shows!!!!!!

[@m1scha]

so lifelike in this one

[@ee-uj5hq]

Are they on drugs?

[@bargainsstoragedeals3653]

The crazy amounts clarkson charges in that farm shop he not broke

[@han.ridl3y]

forever sad your london shows are when my a levels are 😔😔😔😔

[@sharna.clarisex]

Watch my chops is a highly underrated show from the 2000s!!!

[@deepfriedheart9180]

Can we just say, if I remember correctly, Quinn wasn't performing as she was giving birth. Vocal Adrenaline was singing Bohemian Rhapsody and the glee club had accompanied Quinn to the hospital which they montaged onto their performance.

[@han.ridl3y]

ANOTHER RIFF OFF 🤗🤗🤌🤌🤌

[@jesscross123]

1:06:12 I’m howling 😂😂😂😂

[@tripledublu]

george are u high in this?

[@mr.porridge4898]

21:35 side representation from George!

[@ca2489]

George should seriously do more deep folk singing like he did in this video & max should do singing in general, they r both so good 🥰

[@zadiesmith537]

petition for george and max to release an album lol

[@mayapatel6149]

The breastfeeding suggestion isn't that crazy some people don't have periods return after pregnancy until they stop breastfeeding it's just not taught about

[@jesscross123]

Watching the riff off at 1.5x speed is incredible 😂

[@stefanimorgan5728]

George trying to bring logic into glee is so funny

[@geegee6737]

Lmao I love you guys ❤

[@millerraycell]

george has such nice singing voice

[@MadelineHarte]

why's max lowkey so good at singing

[@tamsindave]

PLEASE DISCUSS AYAME YUVAL AND OLIVER its so funny

[@7lararara]

@ george was that a miranda reference

[@ghostingclay]

i feel like the last half of the episode was directed at me because of the comment please stop singing 🙏🙏🙏

[@sofiaaaxo]

I saw your comment and I agree that was the first thing I thought of when they started singing again

[@mystic_mimi21]

34:59 it’s rather concerning the lack of procreation / contraception knowledge these grown men have. 1. Yes one can get pregnant while menstruating as sperm can live for several days in the vagina. 2. One can also get pregnant while breast feeding, it was an old wive’s tale. After giving birth it can take a while for one’s menstrual cycle to return, and it’s not wise to have sex too soon after giving birth. It’s was believed that one’s body didn’t ovulate while breastfeeding to focus on the baby already there. This isn’t true for people, maybe other animals. 3. No ejaculating into a hot tub won’t necessarily result in pregnancy unless it was in the body, the temperature of the water would kill the sperm. Also they can’t ’swim’ that far. Edit yes one could become impregnated with pre ejaculate as it can contain sperm. Not sure why dry sperm means so no clue there

[@BrynHarding]

Nice to see Max's taste in Wigs is as terrible as his taste in Hats.... 🤫😉

[@yona5176]

wait why is max kinda good at singing

[@meganstapo1867]

wait i remember watch my chops!

[@liajordann]

love how every time max sings he puts on an American accent. devoured it tho

[@Raven_Luna_Tick]

Knowing Max wears bad wigs and combined with the way he sings, gives me such Elphaba vibes. Scabies and lice included. lol

[@gracehigham727]

watch my chops was elite kids tv

[@gingernproud6514]

❤

[@RYAN-pz8il]

I loved this episode (as I love every episode), but it was the perfect amount of amusement for a Sunday evening! Also i don't think it's eaid enough how beautiful George is. I feel like he made more growly and rumbly voices which was both soothing and arousing? Paired with those brief glances of his powerful thighs under the table... Wow. A thigh for a thigh and my world went blind with my gay awakening. Have a great next week!

[@ca2489]

I feel this comment, i felt that when u said about the rumbly growly voices 100% arousing, especially when george started singing the “Heave ho” song, for me i melted 🙈🙈😍😍😂😂🩷🩵🩷🩵

[@anthonyorsini]

What's wild is this episode was recorded WITH autotune.

[@meganstapo1867]

omg callum reveal!!!!

Max is actually kind of a good singer

[@geegee6737]

IM SO EARLY ❤🎉

[@tillyspiers448]

I'm way to early lol

[@LordJarvey]

First: fix your audio. Second: I look forward to George going out on his own. He is genuinely interested in the world while Max is a self absorbed fool.

[@Djm8520]

Does Max actually think he’s famous?! Delusion much?! I think George is immensely talented. I think Max is immensely annoying!

[@chloelord3578]

are you gearing up for s2 to be musical based podcast? Please do not 🫶 also I loved ‘watch my chops’ as a kid, one of my faves, I could never remember the name and no one ever knew what I meant when I tried to explain it. It felt a fever dream (much like this pod episode)
