Hi, it's me Francis. Thank you for watching my first Scooting and Chatting video. I'm Theroux-ely happy I got to scoot and chat with Louis Theroux. I hope you enjoy, there's more to come!
I just said to my GF how much this type of amazing content, created by brave and wonderful people is starting to show the true breadth of human experience in our world. Making this "normal" and beautiful and fun is fantastic for all those poor souls out there who were always teased or secluded for their quirks. I only hope one day, thanks to people like Francis and Louis that this leads to us seeing that "normal" doesn't exist. There is no cookie cut person and we should celebrate and enjoy all our incredible uniqueness and amazing differences.
"people" ? do you mean you are slowly getting to see the view of people other than those who make tv programmes and adverts .. who show you simplistic, mechanical, token characters that they make out are normal.. but are in fact fictional or constantly second guessing themselves
Francis and Louis are both perfect examples of non-judgemental people that can inspire people to do things that make them happy and not worry about what others think.
No going back now Francis, you’re a natural interviewer, with qualities in front of the camera that are rare nowadays. A genuine zest for life, the love of trains and kindness towards your fellow man. Thank you for sharing this time you spent with Louis with us. It’s been great fun.
Love that you chose to record in these typically English conditions, rather than cancelling and waiting for a sunny day as it adds to the atmosphere. Your sound team should be commended! We love Louis, so this was a real joy to watch. Nice one 😃👌
@@JohnSaunders-k1e No, I mean't wholesome. That's why I wrote it lol.. :) "Nice" is a word which literally means "not quite awesome but not that good either... just ok"
@@rowanwhile Wholesome means something morally conducive to your wellbeing that's why I said you're wrong because refreshing, rejuvenating, invigorating, revitalising, uplifting, pure. These are all adjectives tied to the word nice that make grammatical sense whereas wholesome is cringe and too extra.
You're enthusiasm shines through so bright, it's impossible not to find such happiness for you. I'm a 6ft 7 truck driver and find myself literally welling up at how happy you are. Its such a precious thing, just to be happy in life and watching you brings such joy. Well done to you Sir, keep being you! ❤
@@chris-cole great comment, and putdown of an obvious inadequate and pathetic troll. Keep driving those lorries! My great uncle owned and edited a magazine for lorry drivers.
I came across this man yesterday and ive watched all his content and i jave to say i love this type of stuff ......in a world so crazy,violent,and unpredictable coming across his videos have been what i needed to see.......makes me miss being happy that to be happy about anything ........and i can see why he didnt use his real name thinking his own people wpuod give him crap about what he likes knowing exactly how people are .......i get him having his passion just for him and not have to hear and B.S. from anybosy about it being people are always so quick to tear down things that other people like because they dont get it or they dont like it ......ive always been like this where i do abd buy what i like and could care less about what anyone had to say.......this dude has a harmless passion for something he finds fascinating and amazing to him .......i hope incan keep up woth his content being i really enjpy seeing his videos being i dont see anyone this happy to be doing happy to be doijg something they love ......most social media is ghetto af,depressing and lame ........keep up your passions my friend.......funny thing is i live right next to train tracks and always dismissed them .......but noticing my area im in a lil more i found out there is a old shut down trains station right by me as well that is now a historical type site .........pretty cool as well to have someobe open your eyes to something thata jiat everyday for most people and have you see the engineering and such that goes into trains .......i compare it people you like architecture
Louis is a great man. I’ve watched him since the 90s , he’s an incredibly skilled interviewer and his unique personality is what has made him so successful. He has a unique ability to bring the best out of people.
I love this. Watching two sweethearted people talking about their passions and interests. I've had the most awful day. My son loves trains and I found your channel on tiktok. I loved and still love trains as an adult. My son and I are neurodivergent and it's been a really rubbish day, watching this was extremely calming. Well done Francis. You did amazing interviewing Louis. Thankyou for helping me relax after a long day
I have to say, this is a lovely film. DOnt change a thing "francis" you represent more than just the Bourgeois, all of us who persue our inner peace and identity. You are oding a tremendous service to many children who feel they dont fit in. I wish you were around when i was 10 years old. my life would have been bearable for it.
I have just watched the train spotting episodes and I love it. With all the issues in the world it is so lovely to see such a delightful series, with really lovely host and guests. Well done Francis, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 and God bless mate.
These videos have been popping up on my Facebook feed lately. Quiet an endearing chap. I've no interest in trains myself but can't help be happy that someone can be so happy about something.
I am gutted it took me a month to find this video, but knew as soon as I saw these two's name in the title, it was probably gonna be my favourite video of 2022. I wasn't wrong. I was aware of Francis at the beginning of the year but only really became familiar as it wore on. I love this guy. I can see why people are mean to him and it's about perspective, although I don't for one moment agree. Francis has an excitement and exuberance in his life that the vast majority of the adult population do not have. We lost it as kids. So they look at him, they either don't understand it or envy it, and it turns into nastiness. BUT for a lot of people, it's the most wonderful thing to watch. You can feel his happiness and excitement through his videos and it's an amazing tonic for when you've had a bad day. The sad thing is, if you've been bullied or treated badly, it's easy to concentrate on the drips of hate you hear, and miss the flood of love around you. I hope his videos continue to be what they are, I hope his profile continues to grow and more people can enjoy them in their lives and I hope he knows, those who love him VASTLY outstrip those who don't.
How have I managed to watch 2 blokes "skoot" in the rain? Strangely enjoyable and reassuring that normal life still goes on in London. Great job lads. 👏
this and all of francis's videos are the most wholesome thing i have seen in years. brings smiles and nearly tears of joy seeing someone who is so genuine and happy.
Thanks for taking us through your hometown Francis! Looking forward to more videos! The Aphex-y soundtrack, the unique body cameras, the guest chatting, the scooting, and of course the train spotting! 🚅
very warm video and a bit intimate too. the weather doubled it. for me its always very exciting yet vulnerable to invite other people into my world (sharing with them little things i find sense and enjoyment with) thank you for the video! I'm excited to see next ones
Used to serve a regular in the pub I used to work at--we called him 'Louis Theroux', due to his resemblance to this bloke right here. Another great Francis video! The autumn leaves were so vivid and happy! And as for those yellow and green parakeets! Flocks of them can be seen in the park trees of Southeast London, too! Safety in numbers: their coloring is not camouflage-friendly. 🐦🐦🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🌧🌧
Thrilled to be in your first 1,000 subscribers and to see your first video within 10 mins - what a cracking video it is, too! Love your energy, personality and enthusiasm. This is the wholesome and joyous content the world needs 😊
Rather than Theroux being awkward, I've always felt he has a fascinating and engaging interview technique, which I find thoroughly entertaining, you never know quite where it's going or what is happening next, I guess it's the unpredictability over a traditional, bland interviewer that makes it more appealing for me personally. I think Francis takes that a step further, definitely a future Theroux in the making.😊 Great interview, although I couldn't figure out who was interviewing who! 🤔😳😁
The two best people in the world .make me smile watching you both😊 bravo and some cracking content for us to enjoy just two guys having fun .keep the good work up just being you guys
This is excellent Francis and so wholesome, fun and uniquely you. Your an absolute joy to watch. Well done and cannot wait for more, also love the music 👏 👍
Luke/Francis love you dude for all you are. You don’t need a pseudonym to be something that you already are. Just be you. Keep Doing what you live my friend.
Amazing that you haven’t got the biggest sub count (yet) but you still have a full crew who must have cost a fair deal (and were amazing given the conditions) keep going Francis
Hi, it's me Francis. Thank you for watching my first Scooting and Chatting video. I'm Theroux-ely happy I got to scoot and chat with Louis Theroux. I hope you enjoy, there's more to come!
Hi 👋
This was great Francis!
Well done Francis that was very enjoyable to watch and it looks like you both had a good time. I look forward to watching many more.
Enjoying this a lot - thanks for sharing ❤️
Keep on scooting+chatting 👍
I love how people are slowly starting to embrace their uniquenesses
I just said to my GF how much this type of amazing content, created by brave and wonderful people is starting to show the true breadth of human experience in our world. Making this "normal" and beautiful and fun is fantastic for all those poor souls out there who were always teased or secluded for their quirks.

Slowly ? It was happening 60 years ago. Seems these days there is also a lot of dumbing down, from all kinds of media
im sure you dont know what planet you live on. and if it took this to show you that. then you lost.
"people" ? do you mean you are slowly getting to see the view of people other than those who make tv programmes and adverts .. who show you simplistic, mechanical, token characters that they make out are normal.. but are in fact fictional or constantly second guessing themselves
Maybe in North West London but I’m in the North and it’s still the 1980’s here . 😂
Francis and Louis are both perfect examples of non-judgemental people that can inspire people to do things that make them happy and not worry about what others think.
Its a good break to see this guy's videos
Cannot think of a better mentor for Francis than Louis. Hope they stay in touch.
Just like Jimmy savile mentored liuis
trains true though
No going back now Francis, you’re a natural interviewer, with qualities in front of the camera that are rare nowadays. A genuine zest for life, the love of trains and kindness towards your fellow man. Thank you for sharing this time you spent with Louis with us. It’s been great fun.
Leave some some left over for his Mrs james, got something white on your chin there
I've had an awful day at work, and watching this, with a beer is exactly what I needed.
Is it all sorted now ? Hope it improved
Please try and enjoy your life beyond these bizarre 17 minutes
what job do you have?
Hope the following days were better dude
Alcoholic, also why watch this he’s a mong
How is this one of the most awkward yet entirely entertaining and interesting interview I’ve seen in a long time?! ❤
I think because it's doesn't feel forced and fake, and is instead weirdly wholesome
Absolutely! 👍@@PhageTheFinalCure
Love that you chose to record in these typically English conditions, rather than cancelling and waiting for a sunny day as it adds to the atmosphere. Your sound team should be commended! We love Louis, so this was a real joy to watch. Nice one 😃👌
Agree - I've made some of my videos in pouring rain and it adds a dimension.
Louis is a genius. Loved the way he helped show us a bit more of you, Francis. But you were great, because you were you.
Great comment James.
SO wholesome... I love you Francis, you are such a breath of fresh air in this world
Well Said 👍👍
The world you meant was nice not wholesome. Wholesome sounds cringe.

These two together are a breath of fresh air
What a great meeting of minds! Also props to whoever soundtracked this. Some real Aphex Twin vibes.
Been watching Louis since 1998. Absolute legend. This was a great meeting of minds! 😀
Francis with a film crew of 20. Love it. Going up in the world because of your personality. Great content. You humble handsome man!
Francis and Louis have to be the 2 most wholesome people ever! It was so great to see them chatting together :)
Wholesome is such a cringe American word.
Imagine running into these 2 just scooting about , amazing content 🤟

honestly i just love this dudes positivity reminds you sometimes we all take things too seriously and should enjoy the small things more

Lovely to see a father and his son out for a day of scooting
props to the sound guys - perfect audio despite all the rain!
What an unreal combination of people, absolutely love it
This was beautifully filmed, beautifully edited, and a beautiful idea! its nice to see more videos of people just chatting and enjoying genuineness
two british icons... this is truly the collab the UK needs right now
Two people I wouldn’t have thought to pair together but now that it exists it’s so obvious. This video is perfect.
You could not have picked a better first scooting partner than Louis! You're both so similar!
These videos have been popping up on my Facebook feed lately. Quiet an endearing chap. I've no interest in trains myself but can't help be happy that someone can be so happy about something.
Brilliant. Imagine a series where you interview celebrities about their hobbies or collections, that would be fun!
I am gutted it took me a month to find this video, but knew as soon as I saw these two's name in the title, it was probably gonna be my favourite video of 2022. I wasn't wrong.

So nice to see this dad and his son bonding
Was just the same as watching Jimmy savile and Louis
This is the collab of a life time 🤌🏻
Lukes happy soul and Louis dead pan face what an awesome match up , loved the video keep them up.

Wholesome? How cringe.
gdawg you are a child
it is a fake persona for RUclips dude. It is not genuine at all.
Thanks for taking us through your hometown Francis! Looking forward to more videos! The Aphex-y soundtrack, the unique body cameras, the guest chatting, the scooting, and of course the train spotting! 🚅
Francis, you're a true superstar!! 👍 🍀🏴🙏🏴🍀
very warm video and a bit intimate too. the weather doubled it.
for me its always very exciting yet vulnerable to invite other people into my world (sharing with them little things i find sense and enjoyment with)
thank you for the video! I'm excited to see next ones
Used to serve a regular in the pub I used to work at--we called him 'Louis Theroux', due to his resemblance to this bloke right here. Another great Francis video! The autumn leaves were so vivid and happy! And as for those yellow and green parakeets! Flocks of them can be seen in the park trees of Southeast London, too! Safety in numbers: their coloring is not camouflage-friendly. 🐦🐦🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🌧🌧
Scooting with Louis!
I’d pay serious money for that experience.
Big thanks to all the crew surviving the weather!
Thank you Francis. I like your scarf. I enjoyed your video. You are good at asking questions. Interviewing is a real talent.
Imagine your taking your dog for a walk and Louis Theroux and Francis Bourgeois fly past you on scooters
What a delightful and refreshing video thankyou ✌️🙌🥰
Thrilled to be in your first 1,000 subscribers and to see your first video within 10 mins - what a cracking video it is, too! Love your energy, personality and enthusiasm. This is the wholesome and joyous content the world needs 😊
I used to live close to this park. Thanks for this nice little chat.
Francis you absolutely beautiful soul. You genuinely make the world a little brighter, thank you🤍
This is great! Please, please, please do more!
Rather than Theroux being awkward, I've always felt he has a fascinating and engaging interview technique, which I find thoroughly entertaining, you never know quite where it's going or what is happening next, I guess it's the unpredictability over a traditional, bland interviewer that makes it more appealing for me personally.
I think Francis takes that a step further, definitely a future Theroux in the making.😊
Great interview, although I couldn't figure out who was interviewing who! 🤔😳😁
Louis and Francis. This is better than Chicken Shop Dates
The most British thing I’ve ever seen 🏴 🇬🇧
Amazed that Louis turned up in the rain for this. Top bloke
They both are! Although it is debatable whether the same could be said for you. Don't be so cynical. 😶
Absolutely beautiful, Francis and Louis are a perfect fit 😊 x
The way Francis looks at Louis when they’re talking about birds!! Genuine interest
this is so so soothing, thanks
What an excellent video. Seeing Francis and Louis together is a real delight.
Excellent Franco!
This is perfect internet content. Thanks both!
Just got to love Francis' music choices
Loving the music in this! Obvs composed by a big AFX fan!!
I heard that as well.. Wondering who made the track in this video tho..
Hi Francis, I really enjoyed this, you and Louis are both relatable people and produce a very warm feel to your video
The mashup were all been waiting for!!!!!!!!
This video feels like a piece of art. Excellent work.
One of the sweetest things I've seen in a long time. Really nice way to start the day.
When he said sheepishly that him and his girlfriend have the 'at least one leaf' catching tradition that was so cute ❤😭
The two best people in the world .make me smile watching you both😊 bravo and some cracking content for us to enjoy just two guys having fun .keep the good work up just being you guys
Love the childhood innocence in all of this. It's so endearing.
Wonderful. Being yourself is so important.
This is excellent Francis and so wholesome, fun and uniquely you. Your an absolute joy to watch. Well done and cannot wait for more, also love the music 👏 👍
This was fantastic, would love to see more like this
The Parakeet's of West London are supposed to be from a Tarzan movie set that escaped in the 1950's
I couldn't stop smiling watching this! Thank you for being authentically you!
the rain would end this for so many. the weather makes this feel all the better
more pleasee !! this is amazing
To me, this is a match made in heaven; a meeting of the minds. I can see Louis being a mentor for Francis.
Two perfectly neurodiverse creative humans.
francis we need weekly videos!!!
Fantastic video thanks for making it.
An excellent actor
Brilliant, that was great 😊
heartwarming stuff
Francis! What a great first guest. Excited to see more RUclips videos from you!
Francis ( Luke) mate every time I watch a video of you you make me smile and I thank you for that. Never change mate.😎😎😎🤙🤙🤙🚂🚂🚂🛤️🛤️🛤️
love the scarf , I think its bus seat pattern from the 80s
Only just ‘discovered’ you pal and wanted to describe you and your Chanel in two words……
Awe and Wonder 👍
Keep going Francis! I can see you on TV travelling the world and doing a travel program on global trains
This was so wholesome, I get the impression youve been a fan of Louis for a while
Shivery Kneecaps
Love the track that kicked in about 1:15 into the video. Anyone know what it's called? Almost has a bit of an Aphex Twin vibe about it.
Agreed, lmk if U have found it

Luke/Francis love you dude for all you are. You don’t need a pseudonym to be something that you already are. Just be you. Keep
Doing what you live my friend.
The wholesome and heart warming content I needed.
This video is so wholesome, the look Louis gave to camera after he bunny hopped made me laugh harder than I expected to 😂
I feel of all of his interviews, this might be the one career defining moment meeting Francis. Wow.
Two mad genuine nice guys keep it up
I should have known a man of your calibre is from NW! Love it
Amazing that you haven’t got the biggest sub count (yet) but you still have a full crew who must have cost a fair deal (and were amazing given the conditions) keep going Francis
I think he's got a big tiktok following
Now you can join Louis on one of his next documentaries interviewing Westboro Baptist church on a scooter
