Anyone else realised how good Stephen Hendry is as an interviewer? He's chilled and asks the questions very naturally. It's a different side to him that I think we all like. Even when he's playing a frame during an interview, he asks the right questions at the right time. Bravo
Players are also much more relaxed around him because it’s Stephen. A legend of their sport so they have a lot of respect towards him and know that he’s not a nobody basically. And defo right.. never knew Stephen was actually quite nice and fun to listen to. Always thought him and Steve Davis would be boring but I ended up liking them 2 the most.
We only really know Stephen as a fierce competitor who never gave anything away. Years of dominance made him seem very arrogant to us all but now he’s opened up and lightened up he’s shown his true self. A truly decent man and the finest pundit / commentator snooker has ever had. He’s also very funny and easy to like
These 2 need to collaborate more often. I feel like they bring the best out of eachother, Ronnie brings Stephen out of his shell a bit and Stephen keeps ronnie grounded and sensible, it's a genuinely brilliant dynamic between the 2 cemented by the mutual respect they have for each other.
8:46 THIS is why he is calm and relatively sane now. He has trained himself to not get worked up about snooker, to not listen to the negtive thoughts in his head when he plays. If he doesn’t have quite the edge he used to, I’d rather he be happy. (He talks a lot about this in “Running.” It’s not well-edited but it’s fascinating.)
Do this every year. Ask new questions and play a couple frames with Ronnie. Create a tough table challenge 2.0. This is amazing content, keep it up Stephen! Cheers!
Isn’t it fabulous that these two greatest players think that the other one is better. The respect that they have for each other is a true sign of champions
the accolade of "being the greatest" can only be given to someone by others ( others like rivals who are or were also at the very top), not by oneself. claiming oneself to be the greatest has no actual merits. otherwise i could say that i am greatest snooker player ever and youd just have to accept it. the problem is to find others that strenghten my claim. even if ronnie had one more WC he still would say stephen is the greatest, because he cannot nominate himself.
@@grahamlive ali had a very extroverted personality and his claim was definetly more of bestowing psychological warfare on his opponents. he was an intelligant person, after all and probably knew that the claim had not merit if no one supported it. otherwise it goes the same as with ronnie: im the greatest boxer of all time, you know? dont believe me? not my problem that you cant see the truth.
Stephen, love him to death, as an interviewer, natural, likeable, ,smart, human, comes across as a good friend always, makes the guest feel comfortable, and we the audience feel the warmth, brilliant.
Ronnie, Davis and Hendry are my trifecta of legends!!! Can we get a 3 way frame or interview please? Absolutely Smashing this channel, keep up the great work Stephen.
The chemistry is so good! We all know Ronnie and could have predicted many of his answers i guess but the way Stephen plays along with it and how relaxed he seems is just pure joy to watch!
Incredible! This is amazing, I could watch so much more of this! You 2 total legends of the game asking each other questions. Just wished it was much longer haha. Just brilliant You guys should do more together. So natural so much respect and such an enjoyable watch.
I just love the dynamic between these 2 absolute legends of the game now. You can tell they have the utmost respect, admiration and genuine friendship between them. They just get on so well together and it’s obvious they really understand each other because they can share their experiences of winning so many world championships (14 between them so far) and understanding what drives them both on to achieve the heights in the game that they both have.
Wow- would love to see more sit down interviews not just on this channel but also on BBC coverage of the big tournaments. A really skilled interviewer, not patronising, doesnt take things too seriously. a great mix of snooker questions and snooker anecdotes but also random questions about life and things that fans at home like to find out about players. would be great to see more of these kind of interviews done by yourself, you have a knack for it
can these 2 do a podcast together already. i'd listen to them chat on a daily. & they're right about what they say about snooker clubs. i loved going in my local one as a kid
Ronnie and Stephen are gonna have to work together more. They get on so well and Ronnie has nothing but respect and enthusiasm when talking to him which is not always the case. Brilliant again 👏
He's the greatest with 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s keeping snooker relevant and on the front pages entertaining us for decades his longevity is legendary and will be his legacy his aura and pressance is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines for the sport
9 minutes is not long enough for these two legends ,you can see the admiration they have for each other as winners, wouldn’t mind a few more of these two chatting together
Ronnie the best natural talent no doubt but 7 world championships in 10 years. Don't think that's going to be repeated in my lifetime. Absolutely love these 2 and it's a privilege to listen to both😀😀😀😀😀
Equal amount of respect for both players!👏🏽 They have "both" done so much for the game of snooker & given us all so many memories over the years. A lot of people dont get Ronnie but having gone through mental health struggles myself i can relate therefore i understand. He is really a great guy just largely misunderstood. His running has helped with this in recent years just as cycling had helped me. If theres anybody out there really struggling with mental health then ide suggest you start excersise. Start off slow and build your way up. In running you get a thing called "runners high" the same for cycling. Its a feeling of great calm and peace after your workout. Not only that but your regulating all sorts of hormones in your body when you get fit. It just makes you a much more placid happier healthier person with a much better life expectancy Ciao👋🏼🤓👋🏼
When I was badly depressed in my teens and early twenties doctors always asked me if I exercised and I used to wonder what the hell they were asking me that for. It's only since I made the effort to try I realised the benefit. You genuinely feel better about yourself and more at peace with everything somehow. I try to swim and hike as much as I can now, it's better than any antidepressant out there. Anyone struggling I really recommend it, it might be hard to drag yourself out to do it but the feeling during and afterwards is so therapeutic and worth it 🤘
@@TheJayLordx exactly! The doctors are encouraged to put people on medication 💊 as they're pushed by big pharma when really our bodies can heal themselves. During exercise your body released dopamine which is the feel good chemical that is released when taking certain "party" drugs. It releases and regulates all sorts of endorphins and hormones around the body. It is important to remember that you can have too much of a good thing and some people end up over training. Everything in life is about balance. As one gets older you figure this out. I have fallen off the wagon a bit myself. I fell very ill during covid in 2021 and the last two years has been hell. Its time I started to look after myself with a little more intent. It's never easy to drag oneself out of that dark place but once u do things drastically change for the better. Hope your doing well.👍🏼
Really like how these two get on and to see Ronnie just be Ronnie and look relaxed adds to the interview to gain a real insight into what he is really like away from the table 👍
Steve did all right, certainly in the top 5 of all time. Another player who matured from his early rigid ''interesting Davis'' persona into a genuinely funny and likeable guy.
just about the most repeatable action ever. Never twitched or sped up, whatever the pressure, and had amazing cue ball control. But he still missed, and chose some poor break building options.
No.1 & No.2 of ALL TIME. (Order doesn't matter!!) P.S - You should go on a road trip together, exploring snooker all over the globe!! (Bring Mark Williams with ya, too!!) Thanks guys!!
This is so good, thank you. It is such a good idea to have user questions and then to hear the two men who have been at the very top of the game is really interesting. Obviously most people will never be number 1 in the world at anything so to have an insight into what goes on in the mind and life of a world champion is interesting, and inspiring. I hope there are more of these kinds of interviews.
I don't think Ronnie would do this for any other person in snooker. Shows me how much he respects hendry to do it, he doesn't do much else apart from sitting in the studio on Eurosport. Famously never involved in other stuff in snooker. 👍
The greatest snooker players both appreciating the fact that they are both great snooker players. Both amazing people who have/are inspiring the way forward for new generations of young players. Brilliant

Hendry quickly making one of the best youtube channels there is. Dude is a legend.

And also a side to him that perhaps many didnt expect either.......
And he's the best commentator/analyst out there too.

He’s also very funny and easy to like
I just wish this was an hour long. Amazing
yeah... was this now the last clip? :( they need to do more stuff together, if not just playing snooker and having a chat!
Do it again Stephen. Listening to your book on audible. What a book and great you read it yourself
Oh shut up!!
same here.
@@zamiadams4343 sad!
Stephen has the most important quality in an interviewer: genuine interest in the other persons answers.
wow ronnie is very humble, 17:09 5k for a recreational runner is FAST and would win most parkruns every week
Yer was shocked with that, well maybe not that shocked haha 🤣. I was super happy with 19.18, 17 is super quickkk
So fast!!
Absolutely ridiculous time! Can't believe he plays it down so much.
Unreal time
Yet another absolute gem of a video , Stephen the way you keep these videos so natural it makes them a joy to watch.
These 2 need to collaborate more often. I feel like they bring the best out of eachother, Ronnie brings Stephen out of his shell a bit and Stephen keeps ronnie grounded and sensible, it's a genuinely brilliant dynamic between the 2 cemented by the mutual respect they have for each other.
You both deserve all you have achieved with the dedication. You are the best and you both gave me so much enjoyment. Steve Davis did as well.
8:46 THIS is why he is calm and relatively sane now. He has trained himself to not get worked up about snooker, to not listen to the negtive thoughts in his head when he plays.

Man these 9 mins went by so fast, didn't want it to end
Did you manage to climax
of course it went fast... he's the rocket! 😅

Two legends, with incredible talent. Deserve everything they get these two.
Totally agree such naturally gifted players
So much respect for one another.
We need a dashcam of Stephen when Ronnie takes him for a "spin" in his car.
I wouldn’t leave Ronnie to take the tumble dryer for a spin
Or a caraoke! The 2 of them could sing snooker loopy!!! Lol 🤣
Best channel on yt
Ronnie, Davis and Hendry are my trifecta of legends!!! Can we get a 3 way frame or interview please? Absolutely Smashing this channel, keep up the great work Stephen.
What an honour to see the two legends of the game together on camera. Fantastic questions and even better answers. Keep it coming boys
Thank you Sirs, it was a pleasure!
The chemistry is so good! We all know Ronnie and could have predicted many of his answers i guess but the way Stephen plays along with it and how relaxed he seems is just pure joy to watch!

You guys should do more together. So natural so much respect and such an enjoyable watch.
I like that they both call each other the greatest. You can tell Ronnie worshiped Stephen growing up.
so glad this channel is growing, gives me hope for the game
These two and Davis. I could listen to that for hours. The three of them discussing the game and all the nuances of it. I’d love that
I just love the dynamic between these 2 absolute legends of the game now. You can tell they have the utmost respect, admiration and genuine friendship between them.

This should of been an hour long! 😢 absolutely love this channel 😊
Brilliant listening to two legends 👍🏼
what a video, honestly could listen to these two all day, great flow, amazing sportsmen
Simply amazing, thank you Stephen and Ron.
I hope one day Ronnie realises how good he is and how much everyone does care. What a guy
The respect for each other is beautiful, what a brilliant watch
can these 2 do a podcast together already. i'd listen to them chat on a daily.
& they're right about what they say about snooker clubs. i loved going in my local one as a kid
Conor mcgregor is a poor shout Ronnie 😂
A Gear head saluting another gear head
Agreed. A guy that beats up a pensioner for refusing a drink is nothing more than an absolute bellend
Yep, pillar of brainrot.
Ronnie and Stephen are gonna have to work together more. They get on so well and Ronnie has nothing but respect and enthusiasm when talking to him which is not always the case. Brilliant again 👏
Listening to these two chaps chat is almost as fun as watching them play Snooker!
He's the greatest with 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s keeping snooker relevant and on the front pages entertaining us for decades his longevity is legendary and will be his legacy his aura and pressance is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines for the sport
Bet you'd love to sniff his used boxer shorts.
2 goat's back again! Great channel Stephen!
Would be great if this could be a regular thing, absolutely brilliant 👏
That was brilliant. Thank you!
Mighty Q&A, very enjoyable.
9 minutes is not long enough for these two legends ,you can see the admiration they have for each other as winners, wouldn’t mind a few more of these two chatting together
There is a recent 45 minutes interview while they play snooker on YT
The Best Content❤
Love this channel, good job Stephen!
Great interview. The two greatest ever.
Ronnie the best natural talent no doubt but 7 world championships in 10 years. Don't think that's going to be repeated in my lifetime. Absolutely love these 2 and it's a privilege to listen to both😀😀😀😀😀

Stephen is the best!
Thanks for doing this
As always enjoyed it Cheers
Brilliant channel
I once thought no one could be better than Steve Davis.
So did steve...
Steve did all right, certainly in the top 5 of all time. Another player who matured from his early rigid ''interesting Davis'' persona into a genuinely funny and likeable guy.

Thanks guys!!
This would be a great watch
Only 9 minutes 😢😢😢
It's so good and thank you gents🙏
This is just pure gold!!!
Love it. Ronnie and Henry are both joined goat in my book. If Ronnie gets another world I'll put him just ahead
one of the greatest excluding the obvious question from the list and the other greatest acknowledging this by replying at the last moment was awesome
I just love the rapport between these you two lads, genuine champs with genuine respect.
Stephen and ronnie get on so well like best mates, and he gets on well with steve davis also good banter
I'm in early. Love this channel Stephen!

Just think how great. These two are. 14 world championships between them. Absolutely amazing.
love you steven and ronnie xD
That was fun ! Thank you
What a pleasure to watch them chatting, and having a laugh
Ronnie is the most understated and down-to-Earth GOAT of a sport ever
We all dream to be even a quarter as good as these lads
I don’t watch snooker these days but I love Stephen Hendry, such a nice guy. Netflix need to do a documentary on him.
Humble, thoughtful and honest
love these guys just can't get enough.
yes a joy to watch both these players anytime great channel by the way
Great stuff. Had to listen with a smile.
Shoutout to the guy who asked why he doesn’t wear white shirts anymore 😅
The 2 greats together 👌🏻
As a Welshman, I know two goats when I see them
😂 I don't know if that was meant to be 'tongue-in-cheek' but it made me laugh haha! 😂 🤣

This is the duo I didn’t think I needed.
This is great to watch, my 2 favourites of the game. If only this was longer. Thank you both
Ronnie looks like he’s not a had a visitor in ages and he’s buzzing for the company. Superb!!!
Podcast with Ronnie & Stephen +1 and 3 herman chairs would be chef kiss
excellent. Lovethese candid interviews.
Great and interview and your both GOATS!😊
Another smashing video two of the best sitting together chilled but when the played each other was a fierce rivalry love the videos keep it up ❤
Two absolute legends. Thank you
This is amazing , ronnie saying you are the greatest is just eye.watering
love your channel, stephen.
I was a kid born in early 90s and I grew up watching & supporting Hendry and Paul Hunter as my favourites
Thanks to the both of you 😃😃
Great video! Have to agree with Ronnie on Shawshank redemption, been a favourite of mine for years, lost count of how many times I’ve watched it
