@ Rob. If you are going to reply to every comment of people who have an issue with this guy or the Gumball,, it's going to be a long day for you. The man is polarizing and so is the event. That doesn't mean we don't love you or your show. It just means that people have opinions about a person that isn't universally loves and that is ok. Personally, I couldn't care less about the Gumball, but I am here because you give consistent quality content. For example, I think that your David Coulthard interview was fantastic even if it didn't track high in your stats.
Going on 20 years ago at this point, one of my old substitute teachers used to be Max's dad, Mr cooper. I doubt max will ever see this but I'll never forget us trying to guess what his son did for a living (spoiler we never did, he eventually cracked and told us). Every time he covered one of my lessons he was given us little facts about gumball. As all good substitute teachers, we never did the actual work we were supposed to. He was always so proud of his son and beamed when we asked more about gumball.
Arthur Chirkinian drove the 242mph CCR and at one point he lost the petrol filler cap for the car, so bought a new Beetle on a credit card just to use the filler cap. The guy's a legend.
"its not a race its a rally" Rob Lonmann Kenworthy
Good god this man loves to hear himself talk, 15 minutes to tell a 4 minute story on the money for the transport planes.
Jamiroquai would be a great guest!
Best pod on YT… smashing it.. keep it up guys
Really wanted to watch this one but can’t get past him keep saying you know you know you know 🥴🤪
Rob lonman was the craziest gumballer of them all
His 'passion' for cars seems to ebb and flow. I suspect he says whatever he feels he should say in whatever situation he's in. I'm not a fan.
The Gumball movie in 2003 had a profound effect on me as a young boy. However; I struggle with the fact that it was eccentric business people / celebrities enjoying their leisure time - but now it is a coachella type content farm for YouTubers and influencers (in my opinion). I guess 20 years ago it was a few people with camcorders which made it feel authentic.
You know you know kinda sorta you know sorta kinda thing you know
Every time I make fun of your jacket. This Video, nothing to complain, well Done 👍🏻
Here before 1 million views 🎉
Perfect! Just at the gym and my current listen was boring me lol
One of the best Gumball arrivals is in 2006 ,when they came to Belgrade , Serbia. Even Max talks about that , in different interviews . The lineup of cars was mindblowing (F40 , F50 , 3x SLR , M5 V10 and many more) , also Jeremy Clarkson was there
The amount of filler words such as: "like, sort of & kind of" is exhausting to listen to, as interisting as car stories may be.
The fact he has 20 or so bottles of xix vodka in his garage is mental 😂
You know,great podcat, you know, interesting guests, you know, and, you know, great content, you know,love it, you know.
Got to say what an incredibly interesting and remarkable character. Also seems so down to earth and humble despite such success. Some guests are a bit hit or miss for me but this week was definitely a huge hit.
