brilliant interview. i deliver parcels for a living. listening to this i went 5 miles to drop a parcel off. parked outside the property, drove back to base. i got back and i realised i didt even get out of the car and deliver the parcel. thats how good this one was.
Respect to mezzer for the turnaround, was banged up in cdc (Central detention centre) in the same pad as Stephen, before his escape and subsequent sentence and he told me some wonderful stories, was amazed when he popped up on this podcast, I never forgot him and the stories he told me, some man.
Possibly your best podcast yet James and I rate them all very highly. Stephen's story is amazing. Thank you both for sharing. Keep up the great work brother. You're going from strength to strength and long may it continue. Bless-ed love, health and strength to you both. Many thanks.
I havent long found your channel james but my god.. the interviews u have with these legends of time are amazing and gripping.. ive lost 3days so far just listening to all the amazing guest.. keep up the great work.. u are a legend in the making urself 👊
100% genuine, unlike some social media driven muppets ……very intelligent man too that would offer a lot to a rehabilitation programme for prisoners / young offenders 👌🏽
I think this man did so well because of his integrity and honesty which is very rare in this game so the people he bought off and sold to knew that Stephen was and is a Staunch man.
The thing i like about your Podcast James, you always ask the right questions and let the guest speak. You also asks questions with a good and friendly attitude. I had a couple of friends in high positions in a well known Manchester gang. They like most top criminals are really nice genuine people, but a word of caution to any wannabe Gangster, do not take their kindness or friendship as a weakness because you will see their bad side and trust me you never want to see that. But look after them and be loyal and they will make sure you are untouchable and they will be loyal to you.
its refreshing to hear a excriminal telling a story with a good degree of humility and he doesn't give it ....the big i am!....also respect James how you listened and responded ......and never talked over Stephen, people respect that.. good luck in the future Stephen
hi mez i lived on the heath via platting 86 till 96 and your name was respected i always wondered about your life and i bumped into this clip so thanks james for getting mez to sit down and fill folks gaps i,e gossip take care mez respect to you from me big gav
Brilliant stuff chaps, im actually from the town next to Newton Heath (no not failsworth) and i have spent alot of time with some of the most highly respected people from Newton Heath, people i know for a fact are friends of Stephens infact, and i can tell you they are the nicest, most genuine, tight knit and loyal people you could ever wish to meet.
Best interview I've seen. Stephen is no bullshitter he's done it at the very top level and he's gives excellent advice now it's over for him. Hope the kids coming through take the advice on board. What's his book called I'd definitely buy it. All the best boys
I think this channel is absolutely brilliant. It takes many different types of people to make up the world and the amount of different characters I’ve seen interviewed on here is amazing. One thing that virtually all of these people have in common is that they’ve managed to change their lives for the better. Most of them are a product of their environment as well. Interesting and fascinating.
Yet another great watch James. Still number 1 on TH-cam in my eyes. I was a subscriber to Ratwood, Gee and yourself. Guess who is the only one that I subscribe to these days. Keep being real bro much respect from Redditch in Worcestershire. x.
When you're in CatAAA for so long it must really fuck you up, yet this chap is very strong mentally. Whilst he may look like your friendly Uncle he must have be totally ruthless.
A lot of people on here seem to know him and Curtis Warren well! You’ve read a few books and now you know the full story! Just let the man tell his version of events - nothing to gain by making anything up and he doesn’t need any approval off anyone. Great interview, James 👍
@@thomashassall96 I know Curits well. I used to baby sit him when he was a boy. He baby sat me when I was a child too. Fantastic man. He once donated a water fountain to my water fountain appreciation society, and every Halloween he makes sure all the kids in my area have their own bespoke cutlery.
Thank you James and Steve, what an amazing interview! Such a shame you didnt further your career in art when you were younger in manc, but what a genius idea....time off for getting a pass in exams you didnt take at school age, this is a revolutionary idea, how can it be furthered? please pursue it......
Best one yet matey, and glad you got shut of ya cap. Lol.. This fella is a diamond geezer salt of the earth gent, who just so happens to be into transport... long live Mr Mee
Brilliant best podcast u have done in my eyes. There's been some great ones but this man is top drawer. Very clever man and a nice trustworthy one too. All the best with the painting
@@jakoflynn2560 when it comes to making money he’s intelligent. He’s an old man that got into crypto when it started. No doubt he’s a millionaire just off that alone.
@@thebizness5596 yeah I’m not here to decry my fellow man for their failings maybe his inscrutability and apparent invisibility made him a great drug smuggler he’s discrete
Brilliant, one of my favourites so far, amazing story and genuine solid guy who tells it how it is I could listen to him all day, I feel like you've just stratched the surface with this one, I hope he does a film with the right people. All the best for the future Stephen
Excellent interview James. Got proper growth in your work bro, always aware of best questions to ask👌nice calm attitude stephen has. I’m laughing at the custom panic 😂😂memories laughing in my head just now👌tactical man,accepted everything that hit his chin. Big respect Stephen. Another decent Sunday lads❤️✌️
@@bobbypukes605innit y v f would Curtis sit with a ex wannabe gangster who got put on you tube bc v ppl around thought he was a wreck head with a snitches mouth ,solid research can show some stuff, plus how £££ r Netflix, amazon going to be offering 😂
Hear a lot of people talk rubbish just to big themselves up but this guy seems so genuine there was times in this interview where he could have made stuff up but he’s just like no that didn’t happen it was just like this what a guy Stephen is
What a guy true story from the top end of criminality,stephens not got an edge no cockiness nothing,a true real life role model for the wannabes to listen up this guys got the message for you it is not worth it in the end ,all the best Stephen in your next life !
I watched this interview when it was first released and I’ve just watched it again and enjoyed it more. Stephen is a Character and is a very intelligent man clearly in the top percentile. Whatever Stephen would have got involved in he would have excelled. A genuine man telling his story without the need to exaggerate unlike many of the other “gangsters” who saturate TH-cam with their jackanory stories.
brilliant interview. i deliver parcels for a living. listening to this i went 5 miles to drop a parcel off. parked outside the property, drove back to base. i got back and i realised i didt even get out of the car and deliver the parcel. thats how good this one was.
At least it wasn't hot food 🤣
Typical driver 🙄
It was probably my Hermes package that didn’t turn up!
Does that not just make u a bit of numpty
Nice1 bro 🤣🤣
Brilliant this jamesy and what a cracking fella he is, bet hes got some cracking stories so hopefully a part 2
My favourite interview of yours so far. Brilliant stuff.

There's only a handful of interviews of 40mins I've ever watched and this I watched every single bit
this is a clear example of someone that is a product of their environment, stephen had the potential to become a great artist at a young age

Fascinating watch. Stephen is so intelligent and shares his stories without ego. So clued up about new technology & NFTs his artwork will go far 👍
Mining crypto, what a guy. Very switched on
Where is the intelligence? He got banged up he speaks in heavy drawl and doesn’t have good range of vocab …I’m not seeing it

Old school crims were just a different breed
Brilliant really humble guy not like the young criminals nowadays thinking there bad men all time
Glad I came back to listen to the last 15 minutes of this!!
Should be a Netflix show on Stephen’s life one of the best podcasts I’ve listen to !
Great interview and he comes over really well. 👍
Great interview James.
Great guest and interview Jimmy. He’s so understated and cool, the antithesis of these modern day “gangsters”.

Great guy, really interesting chat, no bollox, well done James
Another great interview enjoying Stephen's story!
Thanks Linda x
Another great interview. James, you have the skill of keeping the guests talking. Excellent.
Very interesting interview with Stephen. Humble and honest. Be very interesting if you could ever get Curtis on your podcast next year.
THE MAN KICKS IT WITH THOR AM SURE CURTIS WARREN WILL BE ON THAT SHOW
That would be good curtis Warren but don't think he will cos he doesn't want people knowing more than they have to
Excellent interview James. Got proper growth in your work bro, always aware of best questions to ask👌nice calm attitude stephen has.

Top interview and he’s very switched on. We grew up in the same area Newton Heath too.
Remember reading the brilliant book “Cocky” Curtis Warren early 2000 and remember Stephen’s mugshot in that book.
Your a fairly intelligent man and honestly well done and thanks for your great advice
You need to get him and Curtis together for a live interview, that would be amazing 👏
Why would Curtis do that lol

@@bobbypukes605you never no
Don't think he would be allowed with his licences he's on like Jack Homes can't go on one to talk about the murders !
From darren gee. To this. Your smashing it James.
Superb Podcast as per usual James, Stephen I really enjoy your artwork. What a skill hidden behind all that crim talent hahah!
