The gulf stream bit is absolutely true: I remember a holiday on the west coast of Scotland when I was a child and we visited Culzean Castle which had gardens advertised as having plants only possible because of the way the gulf stream influences the climate... I remember the gulf stream aspect quite vividly. We did not, I hasten to add, wear latex masks though..
True, I worked at the Kyle of Lochalsh for a time, a cold barren part of Scotland. Drive 6 miles to the north and you could paddle in the warm sea surrounded by palm trees at a place called Plockton
Glad you knew Bytheway is a real name, in fact my mum worked out this story was true when it got to that bit because she' taught someone called Bytheway from near Middlesbrough, where Bob and his friends are from.
The thing you have to remind yourself of with Bob is he is an extremely intelligent guy. A qualified solicitor for one. The UK is actually further north than Toronto, Canada so the Gulf Stream and its effect is actually quite interesting. 10:31
I had a school teacher called Mrs. Bytheway (spelt that way and sounds just like he said) We used to think it was very funny to say "by the way, miss" before asking her something
Bob has now really put Castle Douglas on the to visit map of Scotland for me and many others no doubt. I wonder if any switched on retailer of Castle Douglas has stocked up to sell face masks and Jobbletops
Congratulations to you both on getting that right. I can only speak for myself, but Jodie was wrong i don't skip the parts where you talk, i love your banter.
Guys, been meaning to say for a while, for another side to Bob's comedy genius you could check out 'The Stotts Interview Sinead O'Connor' with Vic Reeves! 😂
i think the key to Bob's stories is they way he tells them. a lesser person could say 'when we were teenagers we wore some masks in public and the locals worried we were up to no good' and that would be believable but Bob makes an epic tale in it's retelling which makes it sound like fiction.
I believed him. I used to holiday regularly a few miles down the road in Creetown, Gatehouse of Fleet and Kirkcudbright over the years and the Gulf Stream thing is usually true apart from the other year when it switched for the first time that I can remember to bring below Britain and the weather was bloody awful until it moved back eventually. In the 1970s Billy Connolly partied that hard in Castle Douglas that he lost an entire weekend and used the story in his act for a time. You should have gone to Dumfries and Galloway whilst you were in Edinburgh, it's not that far and it's a great area to explore.
The guy who asked with the accent and eyes is from the west of Ireland (County Sligo) He is a member of the Boyband "Westlife" who Im guessin will be Jodi's new favourite band lol
The Gulf Stream is current of warm water that flows from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic to Brittain ,it has the effect of making Brittains weather milder than other places on the same latitude ,always enjoy uour blogs ❤.
There is lot of scientific evidence that the strength of the gulf stream is reducing due to global warming and may disappear altogether over the next 100 years. That would then change Britain’s climate to that of Labrador in Canada, e.g -40C temperatures in winter and 2 metres of snow. Bob did the sensible thing searching it out when he was young.
@@BourbonJRAGoogle it theres plenty if information out there. UK resident, Merseyside,west coast very mild compared to 10 miles away Ormskirk and the pennines further on inland to the East.
If you haven't already check out his autobiography which contains these and more stories from his unique life. Some of his WILTY stories are in it so best to wait until you've seen them all.
One of my Friend's name is Jimmy Fartalot. You an buy a full Latax mask that you pull over your head and it's the face of the main actor in The Walking Dead.
The Gulf Stream absolutely affects plant life in the North West of Britain. It's not all that far from the Arctic Circle, and there are tropical plants growing there.
I thought of this story 2 days ago when I received a phone call. My phone screen told me that the call was coming from Castle Douglas. I rejected the call as it was probably a spam/scam call.
The guy with the accent and blue eyes you like is Kian Egan and he is a quarter of the Irish boyband called Westlife. They are the most successful British boyband in history.
Bob Mortimer is such a good comedian. He is excellent in this ahow especially the one where he claimed Chris Rea ran him a hot bath and put an egg in it.
Put yourself at 17 years old, probably never been abroad. At school, you have learned that palm trees and tropical plants grow on the West coast of Scotland. You have your first car, would you be curious to take the relatively short trip across the narrow part of Britain from the North East of England to see the anomaly with your own eyes?
The Gulfstream effect on this part of Scotland, is real and coconuts, often wash up on the beach’s. it does have a much warmer climate than you would expect for its latitude you should go check it out it’s a magical place
Why wouldn't you wear a mask. I did it in 1985 driving in and around London wearing a werewolf mask and hairy hands once. I think my friends and I were going to a party. The reaction of other drivers when you stopped at traffic lights was hilarious. Definitely a one off as I had to take the mask off between junctions to be able to drive safely.
Another great review, thank you! I'd love it if you could check out Jason Manford on WILTY- particularly this video "Kath - Jason's sausage server? David's tandem bicycle partner? Briony's phony baker?" And other videos by Jason Manford, particularly from his Muddle Class show, particularly "Disney Are "Killing" Parents | Jason Manford: Muddle Class" and "Don't Measure Yourself! | Jason Manford: Muddle Class | Stand Up Comedy" he is very funny.
jodi, great reaction, but: 1- how the hell can you tell what colour his eyes are? and 2- your eyes are completely blue already so why are you wishing ....? i'm confused
It's perfectly plausible that he was ask to leave the town as teenagers would be doing strange/antisocial things particularly when drunk, all the rest of his story is probably just colourful embellishment to try and fool the other team into thinking its a lie. The thing to remember with these is always focus on the statement and not all the irrelevant details.

I notice you didn’t deny wearing Jobbletops though.
True, I worked at the Kyle of Lochalsh for a time, a cold barren part of Scotland. Drive 6 miles to the north and you could paddle in the warm sea surrounded by palm trees at a place called Plockton
No masks? A missed opportunity 😂
Check out the German version of Bob, Henning Wehn. A must!
Even better, do a full episode reaction. You'll struggle to find a bad episode of WILTY, same as Taskmaster.
I don't think you have watched these chronologically. I think this was one of the first stories where people had not gotten used to Bob yet.
you can roughly estimate by how angry David reacts :)
Bob always totally plays with their minds so they can never guess 😁
Glad you knew Bytheway is a real name, in fact my mum worked out this story was true when it got to that bit because she' taught someone called Bytheway from near Middlesbrough, where Bob and his friends are from.
Great clip, Bob is just fabulous.

Kian Egan is the Irish blue eyed guy , from the group Westlife .
I've said it time and time again. We need a British version of That 70's Show based on Bob's childhood.
Lee is so quick with his jokes. Sgt Bytheway!
Daddy!
Sounds like a Carry On character 😅
I had a school teacher called Mrs. Bytheway (spelt that way and sounds just like he said)
We used to think it was very funny to say "by the way, miss" before asking her something
Love you guys great entertainment ! Cant get enough WILTY !!
I have to say, growing up in the 1960'S/70'S UK...we did stuff just as weird as the things Bob got up to...what a great time to have lived!
Bob has now really put Castle Douglas on the to visit map of Scotland for me and many others no doubt. I wonder if any switched on retailer of Castle Douglas has stocked up to sell face masks and Jobbletops
Congratulations to you both on getting that right. I can only speak for myself, but Jodie was wrong i don't skip the parts where you talk, i love your banter.
Great reaction! Bob Mortimer is hilarious, but don't miss out on other panelists, e.g., Henning Wehn!
Bob Mortimer with the "sick Owl" on WILTY is the BEST
I like the one where he claims Chris Rea put an egg in his bath 😊
I would love to spend a day inside Bob's mind.. But I think I may need a short stay in an asylum straight after.
You'd already be in the asylum
@@JustinSawyer-ji5wm true
Bob used to be a Lawyer!!! Check out his comedy with Vic Reeves on "Shooting Stars"
Love that show... it's just ridiculous 😁

The thing that I'm never sure of is how much he weaves for story & how much is just how he thinks. 🤩
Another great story of Bob's, which doesn't seem to get much of an airing, is his experiences with a toaster by his bed. You should try it out!
I believed him.

How beloved is Bob? People can now recite bits of his WILTY tales the way they used to recite Python sketches.

True.. We would have the same climate as Nova Scotia otherwise …. that's why we have such wonderful weather here.... lol.
@@johnnyuk3365 show me one study that suggests what you are claiming
@@BourbonJRAGoogle it theres plenty if information out there. UK resident, Merseyside,west coast very mild compared to 10 miles away Ormskirk and the pennines further on inland to the East.
Not just Britain, but most of Europe actually.
It's the way he tells 'em.

Bob has his autobiography out, it is a good read.
gulf stream is a good enuff excuse t run away from teeside for a while

So funny😂❤️❤️
another great reaction guys, have you seen wilty australia, try the clip, pia miranda's unbelievable eating habits explained
I thought of this story 2 days ago when I received a phone call. My phone screen told me that the call was coming from Castle Douglas. I rejected the call as it was probably a spam/scam call.
Yeah Bobs names are crazy good.
The guy with the accent and blue eyes you like is Kian Egan and he is a quarter of the Irish boyband called Westlife. They are the most successful British boyband in history.
They're hardly British then, are they?
Adil had a good story which i think didn't air.
Also the accent you liked was an Irish one (specifically Sligo). Kian is from the band Westlife.
Bob Mortimer is such a good comedian. He is excellent in this ahow especially the one where he claimed Chris Rea ran him a hot bath and put an egg in it.
I said false as I've Never heard of Anyone Ever getting kicked out of town in the UK
Like you say, he's had a crazy life
😮
Put yourself at 17 years old, probably never been abroad. At school, you have learned that palm trees and tropical plants grow on the West coast of Scotland. You have your first car, would you be curious to take the relatively short trip across the narrow part of Britain from the North East of England to see the anomaly with your own eyes?
I was born in the same town as Bob and knew the Bytheway family when I was young

Almost the same thing happened to John Rambo....so I knew it was true
By the way, Bytheway is an actual surname in the UK. The Chris Rea story was all true apart from the egg in the bath. Chris did send Bob a gold doily!
Another great review, thank you! I'd love it if you could check out Jason Manford on WILTY- particularly this video "Kath - Jason's sausage server? David's tandem bicycle partner? Briony's phony baker?" And other videos by Jason Manford, particularly from his Muddle Class show, particularly "Disney Are "Killing" Parents | Jason Manford: Muddle Class" and "Don't Measure Yourself! | Jason Manford: Muddle Class | Stand Up Comedy" he is very funny.
Thanks for the request. We will definitely give them a look
you should review Shooting Stars, which was a game show hosted by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer
Try Wilty - Henry Blofeld if you can find it.
General rule of thumb. Everything Bob Mortimer says is true.
I actually think Harry Harryman could be a real one. He mentions him in his book with his best mates, who he doesn't change the names of 🤔
I think he says his real name was Peter Harriman and Harry was a nickname.
You two are great. Look up an old comedy couple called "Hinge and Bracket"
You will love them
Trust me😊
My dad said his grandma absolutely refused to believe they were men in drag to her dying day.
Yanks don't know what the Gulf Stream is.What a suprise!
.
jodi, great reaction, but:
1- how the hell can you tell what colour his eyes are? and
2- your eyes are completely blue already so why are you wishing ....?
i'm confused
I recommend you watch 'Little Britain ' (the only gay in the village), 'Catherine Tate' (the translater). Uk.

The thing to remember with these is always focus on the statement and not all the irrelevant details.
Imagine Jodi wanting different eyes
Now David usually says true with Bob as knows his mad stories but around this time big had only been in a couple of times
The normal rules of logic do not apply to Bob. Anything he says may be true.
And Away...
You should check out some more Claudia Winkleman on WILTY, I think you've only done one of hers.
Nickerless
Bloody wrong again🥴
Jodi's reactions are as funny as the stories.
