The three
Posted by thekid53@reddit | thegrandtour | View on Reddit | 28 comments
So this is a genuine question I have. Been watching YouTube alot lately out of boredom, James and Richard seem to get along well. But never see them talk about Jeremy anymore or he doesn't show up on the channels of the other two. I know he banned James from his pub, do you think they aren't getting along anymore or did I miss something?

The exact question has been asked a few days ago. Not coming for you, just wanted to share I had a déjà vu.
Both Richard and James were in Clarkson's last season of his farm show. So I assume everything is alright there.
It also makes sense they don't talk about him when he's not there. Why would they, unless it's to make a joke about him, which would be forced unless there is opportunity for it to be funny. And Clarkson, out of the three, was always the one who had the smallest presence on YouTube, not even doing promos for The Grand Tour on their channels (DriveTribe etc.) in the end.
If they ever fell out, though, I kinda doubt we would ever find out. I don't't think they'd air things out like that.

And also in that same season they showed a zoom call between Jeremy and James asking advice on pub ownership as James May part owns a pub.

From what I can tell Hammond had taken over drive tribe and May occasionally is a guest.
I do feel like Hammond has become a bit like May as he's gotten older. I think that's why the two gravitate to each other a bit more.
I think Jeremy is just extremely busy with his farm that he doesn't have the time to do drivetribe stuff. I think they all want to branch into their own things, just with varying degrees of available free time.

JC doesn't do DriveTribe they all get along.the pub thing is banter.

Drivetribe seems to hammond only of the Three now

I saw James’s Explorers show last month and he had a good couple of jokes in there that referred to JC. In the banter-y way

Friends drift apart but still remain friends. None of them are retired, so their work keeps them occupied. Don't read too much into it. Cheers.

Someone said that Richard bought out the other 2 from Drivetribe, James has his own channel and Jeremy has said doing the farm keeps him fully occupied

Well Jeremy did call James for advice when setting up the pub, and Richard did chrome the tractor.

Hammond just doing Hammond things. Glad he didn't crash the tractor
KeyNefariousness6848@reddit
It probably developed a misfire.

Waiting for news of the tractor falling from the ceiling of The Farmer's Dog

“Chrome” tractor. I still don’t understand why they painted it instead of using actual chrome plating. It doesn’t look right and cost a fortune
geniusgravity@reddit
Hammond did up the tractor for the Farmer's Dog. Clarkson has the most high-level projects and doesn't do the Drive Tribe stuff, which is primarily Hammonds gig now as he's helping his daughter in the industry. IIRC clarkson got advice from May on the pub thing. They do the very british thing of taking the piss out of your mates. They rip the piss out of each other's drinks for banter, too.

Sure I remember reading something that said the enduring friendships to come out of TG/TGT were always Clarkson/Wilman and Hammond/May. I mean I think the former two go back way further than that too anyway. Although Clarkson, Hammond and May were always the three on camera, the three were always in reality a four wherever in the world they were.
I love the Hammond/May friendship, I've enjoyed hearing them together on Richard's podcast and on various videos etc, they are genuinely very close, as is May to Hammond's kids etc. Jeremy is off on his next project with Wilman by his side. They all clearly get on well.

They work together , they aren’t best buds outside of the office

They're all working on their own projects, but that doesn't mean they aren't on friendly terms. James and Richard both appeared on the last season of Clarkson's Farm.
Objective_Piece8258@reddit
JC is busy af on his farm but Hammon did drop by the farm in season four for a short appearance pun intended lol
themidnightgreen4649@reddit
i think Jeremy is busy managing his farm show. That's a pretty significant time investment.
NovelDame@reddit
It's very likely that they're all enjoying their friendship privately instead of feeling like they have to put on an act for cameras. If so, I'm happy for them all.
I imagine they all have dinner once in a while, and it must be nice to do it without cameras and lighting eating up the whole room.

Clarkson literally took one of his tractors to Hammond's workshop during the most recent series of Clarkson's Farm. Just because Richard and James are closer to each other than either is to Jeremy doesn't mean they don't get along. It's just that Clarkson has always been a workaholic and has his mind on other projects.
matty_lam_937@reddit
Not to mention having May on a Zoom meeting and then jokingly barring him from The Farmer's Dog 🤣
If that's not true friendship comi g through, then, then OP is absolutely oblivious to it!
Rogthgar@reddit
Jeremy has his farmshow to attend to when he is not writing stuff for the papers, so effectively he has just traded the carshow out with the farm. James and Richard however only have their pub and workshop and the occasional presenter gig, so it seems they just have much more time on their hands to do YouTube things... which in James' case is often just promotion for his gin.
I think they get along just fine, but if anything they just don't have the need to meet with a camera crew hovering over them.

This shit again.
Shadowrend01@reddit
Jeremy has his own things going on, so he doesn’t have the time or desire to appear with the other two on certain productions. They don’t talk about him because why talk about someone who’s never there?
dfstell94@reddit
I’m sure they get along fine. They’re just adult men and adult men don’t have to hang out every week to be friends. I’m sure if you stuck all three of them in the same room, they’d have fun.
They also don’t live near each other.
errarehumanumeww@reddit
You do know that they are colleagues, not brothers? They have been very succesful, and they are working on their own stuff now.
They still are friends.
