As a Welsh person, I love how much welshier your accent gets when you talk to another Welsh person!
So true
Yeah, because we put it on mostly. Matthew Rhys is from Cardiff and in this he sounds like me - the valleys. Sounds great though: fantastic actor, and cool guy. But that's affected. I have a theory that we all attemp to - and think that - we all sound like Richard Burton to the English et al. The deep dark voice of the green valleys and all that
Truth! I left Wrexham for the USA 30+ years ago and I still slip right back into it within 2 minutes when I go back. It’s truly the most lyrically pleasing accent.
Lovely, isnit?
This is very true. I lived in the west country in England and every time I came home the boys would tease me on how English I sounded so they guilted me into over Welshing. The other factor is alcohol. In England my English chummies loved to point out that after about 2 pints the Welshness would creep out
i could listen to them for hours. Real friends, real stories, and really really Welsh. love it.
I love how an interview with a globally famous celebrity is ultimately an anecdote about Rob. Hilarious.
Two Welshmen with beautiful speaking voices - what more do you need to distract yourself from this crazy world?
Glad you liked the interview Anja! If you want some more gorgeous Welsh voices, make sure to check out Rob's interview with Ruth Jones kzhead.info/sun/q6h7aZaGemKHn4k/bejne.html and Matthew Rhys! kzhead.info/sun/jNOtd6mvsJmspn0/bejne.html 😊 x - Alex, Channel Manager
Rob is one of those people who has a very contagious smile
I could watch five hours a week of you two - can we get BBC Wales to pick this up as a docu-drama?
Burst into laughter watching this!! 😂😂😂😂Michael not knowing how old he is, and the Luke Skywalker lightsaber laser surgery comment, and the teddy bears🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Loved this!
Thanks for the lovely comment Mia! - Alex, Channel Manager
Do all Welsh people know each other? 😉❤️
Yes
Thankfully we don't
We all CLAIM to... but we don’t really. 😝
And they all think they can sing
Seems like they all went to the same school even 😅
Would love to see Bob Mortimer on here!
OMG, I'm literally crying with laughter! Geniuses of Welsh comedic banter: Brydon, Sheen and the (Rob: "I don't like the man"; Sheen:"Nobody does") hysterically funny but absent from this interview Matthew Rhys. In these gloomy days, you three glorious Welshman make the world a better place, and, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for it!!!!!!!!! More Sheen and Rhys videos, if at all possible, please!!! Thanks, Rob!!
Two handsome Welsh men together.l couldn’t stop laughing.Really great interview Rob. The expressions on your face. Micheal is so talented , excellent actor. 🏴🥰
Another excellent video! My face is sore from smiling through this. Michael Sheen is another person I'd ask to the famous hypothetical dinner party. Just keep filling his wine glass and sit back and enjoy the stories. Keep these gems coming!
PERFECTION. Smile,for your from Wales . A perfect place to live. A land of wonderment and awe. A country that likes to give.We might be small in stature yet,we have the biggest beating heart. A world of poetry and song.To the world we do impart, for we are Welsh and Proud,As brothers and sisters we stand.for together we are strong,perfecting our wonderful brand 🙏
Oh, the Welsh boys! Love listening to your voices becoming even more Welsh when talking to each other. Very wholesome conversation, reminiscing about the start of your careers and your old friends! 🥰
My ONLY issue with this interview..way to short!!! Bloody entertaining, thanks Rob!
My GP perscribed medication for my anxiety, I put those in the bin, and self perscribed a daily dose of Rob Brydon's chat show. Another wonderful entertaining video.
Love how you both become more Welsh from talking to each other.
What is it in the Welsh air or water or perhaps a Welsh Mother’s love that create such original, unique talents to enliven our lives!!!
Michael Sheen is amazing. Seems like such a lovely guy too. Could listen to these two chat forever.
'I adjusted your cone'. I only just heard that as I was laughing so much....a brilliant way to start a Sunday morning. Thanks guys...
Michael Sheen. MICHAEL SHEEN. Top shelf. A list. MICHAEL SHEEN. Brilliant. You can't top that. Unless he does the part two. I'm with all the others, if Rob has the time in his schedule, and if he wants to, give him an interview show primetime on the telly asap Xx
Sheen is so genuine and exudes energy and enthusiasm . A joy to listen to him ...and Rob , of course 😬
When the world can resume some kind of normal, Rob Brydon needs his own show. He's the new Parkinson.
You mean a new series of his show? I used to enjoy it kzhead.info/sun/q7l8daqKa5x5pXk/bejne.html
@@sharpvidtube Lol - I didn't know it existed. I live in the U.S and miss out on a lot of UK TV. Thanks for the tip.
I could listen to the Welsh accent all day long.
Awww, thanks love 💘
I loved this video. BIG fan of Michael in Prodigal Son as well. Rob please do a follow-up interview with him as well - I could listen to you both chatting like that for aaages!! 😃
Me too
Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh!!!!@ Stefan Jones from Mumbles channelling Catatonia.
Yay!!!
I really enjoyed this interview it was really like friends having a chat more then an interview with dumb questions 🧡
Loving the videos Rob! I like that they are getting longer. Easily the best part of Thursday and the week!
Thanks Dan! - Alex, Channel Manager
I'm a simple person. I see Rob Brydon, I click "like" 😍
Revisiting the joy of this. Can we get that promised part 2?! Could listen to the pair of you for hours! 😍
"They _said_ it wouldn't hurt to sit on it..." Bloody hilarious. Feels like being down the pub with my mates IF my mates were at least twice as witty and 342% more Welsh. (also looking forward to 'Prodigal Son' S2 - season 1 finale went in an unexpected but _super_ interesting direction)
Oh, I love this -- it's just like being down the pub. It doesn't even matter that I don't know half the people they're talking about. I agree with whoever suggested having Matthew Rhys in a three-way interview. Thank you for these little gems, Rob!
I’m Welsh and I loved every minute of this. Thank you Rob.
He is an awesome actor , brilliant at mimicking people
Another brilliant interview/conversation...... so natural and so entertaining. Thank you
Welsh banter at its best. Talented beyond words 👏
Michael Sheen is one of my favourite people. You can tell him and Rob are real mates. Great stuff 😁
This is so joyous! I’m laughing so hard! What great guys! ❤️❤️
Well,,, ok, BLOODY BRILLIANT!! sooooo funny Michael is an utter gem!, so very funny and animated, and Rob as ever, is such a natural funny lovely bloke, Better than anything on tv. I would like to see Michael do a one man show about his jazz bells incident. and see a re-enactment of Rob's laser eye surgery, and the 'real' relationship he had with the teddy bear.. and how Michael cared for him,
Probably the most enjoyable 21 minutes I've spent on YT in a very long time! Thanks Rob, Michael, and production team! Dave J
Thanks Dave! We love producing these interviews and we're so thrilled with all of the positive feedback! 💖 - Alex, Channel Manager
@@RobBrydon 👍👍😁
Absolute legends both! The laser surgery story had me in bits!! 🎸🤘😎
Great actor - didn't know who he was until I watched the Frost/Nixon movie, and was impressed. And then I watched "Damned United" and instantly knew this was a great actor.
Brilliant Brilliant actor . I just wish they'd have mentioned The Damned United , he's just sublime in that. Had me convinced it WAS Clough . Superb .
Brilliant
Always a pleasure, Mr. Brydon:) Thanks for the great content, keep up the good work and you and your family stay safe, please!
I absolutely just adore Michael Sheen!
Rob Brydon is the best. Such a tallent and a warm fellow. I wish he was in more films.
Hello Rob! Thank you for doing these, have been very cheering with all that is going on xxxx
Brilliant! Just brilliant. Thanks for bringing some fun into our bloody shite 2020.
That was wonderful! Make sure you do the follow-up!
THIS is what I've been waiting for!!!
Please make this longer, so good.
"52... I think" Haha that was hilarious, it seems he just lives without thinking too much. It's an awesome thought! 😊
I'll ask his mother Irene, she'll know, I 🤔
What is more wonderful than two outstanding Welshmen.Michael is also such a genuine down to earth person and a really awesome actor.It makes me so proud to be Welsh. Thank you Rob. KeepSafe.🥰🏴
Wonderful interview. Thanks Rob, loving this series. Keep em coming.
Just watched the Punk’d on KZhead.....! Haha another great interview! Love these !$
Finding Rob's channel yesterday has been the best thing that's happened to me in ages! LOL. I've always loved his kind heart and wonderful twinkle! Binging his videos now. Keep it up, Rob! You have a marvellously natural and warm way with people. Cheers from Canada, M
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment Emma! Glad you managed to find us and are enjoying the interviews all the way from Canada! 😊 - Alex, Channel Manager
@@RobBrydon Thanks, Alex.
Just love these interviews! It's great listening to people so passionate about their work.
Thank you for this
Great chat chaps! I was a Porthcawl Comp 1st year when Rob was a six former. The school shows were so professional and stars shone bright even in those early days. Congrats to you both for all your success and thank you for putting South Wales on the world stage. Da Iawn
Porthcawl has the very best fish and chips.
Great 2 top Welsh men who still sound Welsh
The last 2 minutes are gold
Thanks so much for this and, as you say, not even touching on Michael's activism. He hasn't forgotten the support he and other kids got from other inspirational people.♥️.
ADJUSTED YOUR CONE!! 😂😂😂😂
Loving these podcasts just wish they were longer as could listen for hours
Another thumbs up interview 👍. You’re shows just keep getting more and more entertaining. Also, I want to go quarantine in St. Lucia 😎
Kelly Kennedy - Yes - but would you rather be in UK or New York at the moment. The World is just a bit unpredictable. Rgds from NZ
@@joanne4758 you are absolutely right, the world is a bit unpredictable right now. Stay healthy and regards back from Florida 😄
Love Michael Sheen. As an American I enjoyed his comments of the Frost/Nixon perspectives of British and American people. You have such a talent for the art of the interview. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing.
this was a very cozy conversation. such enjoyable men.
Lovely
Utter joy to watch. Big up the NYTW! :-)
I’m Welsh, and when I went home, to visit my parents and siblings, my accent was very much stronger when I got back to Surrey, according to my husband.
"... 'cause our parents went to church together." Small places! I'm of a similar age, a million miles away in Brisbane, but I could have a very similar conversation with a confused third person about how a friend and I hadn't known each other for our first 30 or 40 years, but that our mothers had gone to primary school together and were still corresponding (with real letters) 70 years on. And whilst I've often heard Michael promoting Wales or quoting Thomas or what have you, but he's never seemed *so* Welsh as in this interview. Rob, there's probably a Grant in that from Llywodraeth Cymru Arts, Sport & Culture!
You are both gods, simple as that.
You two are hysterical. Thanks for sharing.
Delightful! Love hearing these stories. No more bells for me this Christmas
I could listen to these two all night.
❤❤❤❤ these two! I am an American who definitely appreciates the stories, the Welshness (!), so cute what good friends they are!🧸
Brilliant! Very entertaining indeed! Thanks Rob
I fell properly entertained by this interview - thank you!😊
Very enjoyable interview!
Rob I am enjoying these interviews so much - a real joy. I love it that your interviews are wide ranging, clever but not "too clever if you know what I mean done in a Cardiff accent). Your timing is impeccable. :-) Sheen et al are a motley crew of the brilliant and chummy - yes bloody brilliant as Rhys Ifans might say.
Great interview! 🥰
great, enjoyed it
If I had welsh relatives, I imagine it would be just like this when visiting :)
Love you, Rob. Great show.
Uncle Bryn, fantastic. We need more of him and Ruth Jones on TV during these gloomy times.
I'M FOOKIN BRILLIANT!!
Oh how fascinating Rob, watching lovies reminisce about the old days.
The laser eye surgery story is absolute gold! 😂
Brilliantly funny
Could have watched and listened to them more, great episode
This has to be the best historian tale ever
Hilarious thanks 😂😂😂
This was so great! Need a follow up to find out if season 3 of the prodigal son is being picked up by anyone. Great show! Travesty ending it after 2 seasons.
very entertaining intervio
Another wonderfully easy conversation - thank you. The more I watch them, the more I think a) how wonderfully well lit Rob is and b) increasingly, how much he looks facially like a Welsh Sylvester Stallone...is it just me?
Wow this is hilarious. Laughing so much
Pretty sure Michael served me terrible drive through cheeseburger and chips in Baglan. Very glad he found his true calling.
Rob needs his own chat show. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He did have one, but the stupid channel dropped it, for some reason. Too talented I suppose.
Hopkins, Brydon, Burton, Sheen. The Port Talbot four!
I wish youth theatre had been something available to me when I was a kid. When I think what could have been 😩 Could listen to you two talk for hours honestly
