Steven,Dodge,I wanted to let you know just how much this interview(and many others on your channel Dodge) have helped me,and no doubt many others. A discussion about such a subject is not easy and Steven you need to take credit for that,as well as Dodge for discussing these issues with your guests in a firm but empathetic way. The way Steven identified,highlighted and explained all the effects of addiction in such an open,honest and frank way make it easier for addicts-and crucially-their family and friends to really ‘understand’ a little better. In particular most people don’t realize that addicts end up hating what they do,which in itself is just another(if not the worse)trigger. This really has helped me identity my own behaviors and how they have affect my family and work life,and of course myself.So ‘thank you’ Steven and Dodge. ❤
Another great interview. Makes you realise we’re not aware of the reasons why players aren’t performing. Young players need support
A major episode Dodge, congrats! A real eye opener of player's lives that goes on away from the pitch. Steven Caulker very honest and articulate.
He should be speaking around all the Academy’s around the country , seems a decent well level headed guy just shows gambling really is a illness, keep the content coming dodge 👍
I watch a load of different podcasts, covering all manner of subjects and this one has been amazing. Well done to both of you. Well done Steven for opening up and no doubt helping a lot more people than you will realise. And well done Dodge for letting him speak, letting it flow and then asking the right questions at the right time. Bang on!
YNWA. Cheers
Another brilliant episode Dodge. Brutally honest and what a lovely, genuine guy. I really hope he manages to stay healthy and happy. Thanks again for another outstanding show.
Thanks Daniel 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent Content!
Just came across this one, watched all your interviews Dodge……… all credit to Steven fronting up here, just shows you can change, dreadful addiction! Keep up the good work 👏🏽
Great show , im 4 years clean here from a bet - lost a lot - i feel great now , but still 1 day at a time
Gambling is a sickness, feel so sorry for anyone messed up by it. Terrible thing to get caught up in.
I lost everything but thanks be to God am trying to get back on my feet
Seen a few of these now with steven, it’s such a sad illness, glad I watched, resonates so much. Hope you find a new club
Enjoyed this, as an ex gambler I related to this a lot, it destroys everything no matter or status, intact the bigger you are the harder the fall even tho each individuals pain is relative it’s also much the same, same results, a gambling addiction is terrible, I’m 47 and should be successful but instead I’m skint and broke in a lot of aspects in my life but I’m on the road to recovery and my advise to anyone reading this is go and get professional help and as long as you’re honest about it you will start seeing major changes and getting help to put prevention tools in place. Steven is a great ambassador for addiction as he seems level headed and smart. Great chat
Cheers Dodge 👍 Great insight into gambling addiction and all the best to Steven for the future
This episode was big for me Dodge, Thankyou Steven, going through this myself just not on prem level spends. Taking control is hard admitting issues is tough good to hear people like yourself speaking out about it, it makes a difference and helps
I’m glad it has helped mate and it’s so important that it’s spoken about.
All the best 🙏
Quality interview👏
Wow....what a top quality prodcast Dodge...Steven is a proper down to earth fella, i was captivated throughout 10/10...brilliant stuff lads
this guy is very articulate and intelligent. very candid vlog. thank you!
So eye opening! Football fans should watch this as I believe it would help them understand the issues young footballers face. There's very little, if any, human empathy for high-earners. Great episode 💙
Am not into football but put this on last night and was blown away by Steven’s matter of fact honesty, a rare trait in podcasts, bless him.
Have had personal experiences in my family with full blown addictions and he tells it as it is and there is no bullshit whatsoever. Respect, am sure he will do very well indeed ❤
Really enjoying watching this channel another great episode
Nice one Daniel 👍🏼👍🏼
Outstanding Podcast that.
Loved this. Listened to Steven on Under the Cosh, really feels like you got another side of him out on this one.
Fair play to Steven for taking accountability, quality podcast Dodge
Great show yet again Dodge/Steven. I think (and drawing from my own experience) with gambling it’s not about the amount of money you earn but what you are losing vs what you are earning and then hitting that thought chain of how much you lose vs how long it will take you to earn it back. I think Steve has absolutely nailed it, especially the emotional journey he went through. Fantastic pod from start to finish 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic interview, well done on your recovery. Glad you can laugh about it now
Another blinder Dodge. He speaks so well. Really hope he finds a path back into the game.
Thanks Chris 😊
Quality interview as always mate
Hi, Dodge, great podcast again, you make it so easy for them to open up, cant imaging loosing all that money, good luck to him, nice bloke, look forward to the next one
Nice one Paul 😊
Fantastic pod Dodge. Such an important msg
You should definitely add time stamps for the topics covered. Love the pod mate! 👍🏻
It doesn’t matter whether you come from a good family or not gambling is part of the culture here in UK and the probability of been affected is very high
Keep pushing Steven ❤
Wow,banger again,fair play what a journey
Brilliant podcast Dodge!!
I was a croupier and remember him well. He had no self control
As an addict myself, I’ve always thought food addiction and gambling addiction are worse than my chemical addiction.
Brilliant interview 👏
Studio looks wicked mate
Cheers mate 👍🏼👍🏼
This is the Ivan Toney Interview we needed. Self accountability, class, well spoken, thoughtful. Well done steven.
Great chat this one Dodge
60 thousand views?
No. That's not enough.
More people should watch this.
Both for the content, and quite simply Dodge.
Nice one Tom 👍🏼👍🏼
@@DodgeWoodallgenuinely, I find your way of interviewing people spot on. At first Caulker was a million miles an hour, but you chilled him out with in 15.
It's a pleasure to watch you ask decent questions, at the right time.
Fair play and much respect 👊🏽
This episode is gonna be a belter good man dodge 👌👌
Great content again Dodge, fantastic interview.
Good man Jamie 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice one Caulks, I can relate to a lot with gambling addiction having gone through it & still battling to this day, I vaguely remember one day in a Cardiff casino both of us on a loss & both of us getting steaming pissed! Losing the will to live!!
Keep battling & helping those that need help mate up the mighty blooobirdss \0/ \0/
Really good podcast this 1
Best show of its kind
Good man Anthony 👍🏼👍🏼
The fact that a lot of football clubs have betting companies logos on their shirts says all thats wrong about football !!!!
What an honest and open Guy . Up most respect Steven ..your an inspiration to to young up and coming player's. Fantastic interview 💚👍..ps my first contract was £26.50 +Travelling expenses YTS with Motherwell FC 😂
Good guest dodge i watched stevens on James English I think he could help out a lot of young players in the future !
That must have been a tough call to come clean like that, fair play to SC for getting it out his system and hopefully it will help him come to terms with it all by talking and not bottling it up to then eat away at him. I count myself lucky in that since I was 18/19 up till today at 57 I do a £5 football acca and a £2.50 e/w double on the horses throughout the season on a Saturday, had some half decent accas come in £500/600 but never enticed me to go bigger luckily but seen mates do their boll*x and get in some serious debt.Pulled another 1 out the bag again Dodge.
Good man GC 👍🏼👍🏼
@DodgeWoodall top man Dodge and a fantastic interview process you have like no other channels 👍
Something about Dodge that turns a Debbie downer conversation into an uplifting insight
Thanks mate 😊
Really enjoyed that Dodge 👍
Yeah me too ⚽️ 💰
I remember it well when we signed him. Looked like a very savvy buy, and at the time, didn't understand why he wasn't being played much. It was only afterwards that I was realised that he had alot of personal things going on behind the scenes.
I've been sucked into gambling lately. I'm on 2000 a month after tax and I checked my account the other day and spent 36000 this year. That doesn't include what I won but puts me about 8000 down over a year😢. 4 months a year I work for nothing when you sit there and think about it. Started as a bit of fun now become a problem.
Get yourself to GA mate. £8k in a year is way too much if it’s 1/3 of your wages.
When the fun stops STOP
@@krisclark739I lost 20k in 2 weeks, mate on £700 a month, was my house deposit and for my wedding 💒
It's inevitable you'll lose, don't be surprised about it. The more you gamble the more you lose and then you start the impossible pursuit of recouping loses. The biggest win you'll ever have is, realising the predetermined result, when you stop gambling.
Hope you're OK bud. it's time to get some help. That's gone too far if your losing more than you earn.
Gamling is a nasty thing and you could loose everything luckily i was a young man when i had a thing for gamling ,,,but i got away from it
Dodge great episode
As a gambling addict in recovery for nearly 5 years i have beeen trying to contact Steven for some time now but to no avail.
I have some things i would like to put to him in regard of helping others with it.
Dodge is there any way privately i can contact you to maybe help point me in direction to get in touch with him?
Really enjoying your show btw, keep up the good work, great selection of guests and great you allow them to speak unlike some who jump in constantly making it a hard listen.
Gambling addiction is worse than any drug addiction
Totally agree 🙏
great content mate
That answers my question to why Rooney looks 50 when he’s only 36 STRESS
This guy was quality!!!!! Was amazing at swansea! Shame. Could have gone on to be a mega defender. Good luck mate!
Another great podcast, Alcohol needs to be reclassified as a drug instead of Alchol as it would change attitudes towards drinking, if you look it up in the dictionary it is a drug
As more things come out I’m hoping people are being convinced Old Harry ain’t the ‘diamond geezer’ he’s made out to be. He really really ain’t .
Looking forward to this dodge
Such a shame that horrid disease got hold of such a seemingly love person with a clean soul! Gambling is so misunderstood how serious and dangerous it really is… So glad a proud I’m clean now.
Didn’t know Tonali was aloud on a podcast
Really looking forward to this one, it's going to be a chalker 🤪
Enjoyed this podcast,,they'll be loads of footballers who gamble on a regular basis, once they've finished training early afternoon there's not alot else for them to do and its summut u can do in private so easily accessible not like the olden day's were u ad to go to the bookies,,most the bookies r shuttung down near me
Sad that when he asked him when they last time he gamabled he didn’t want to say .. he really needs to tackle that to move forward !
Steven real talk mate. The way he said the public will think you had my dream and you fucked it lol funny but true but fairplay for admitting it steve thousands of others would probably done the same. Well done for getting clean tho bro all the best for the future mate.
Addiction can strike anyone
Joe Lewis is the real uk Don Corleone don’t be under any misconceptions 😂💯
Money is the cause and solution for all lifes problems. The more you earn, the more you spend
As a ex gambler well never really free iv never related more to someone its mad iv often wondered that if i had more money id just bet at a higher level and you've confirmed it for me were identical in a gambling sense id just chase more 😮 thanks its helpful 👍
You can’t take the boy out of feltham
If I told you (Allegedly) 80% of every quid payed into elite sport right now is directly/indirectly supplied by gambling firms would you believe it? Biggest conflict of interest I can think of.
Youngens could defo learn from his story
Imagine losing that sort of dough. He didn't earn that much in his career . Just depressing listening to it but....
I didn't see the appeal i knew guy's who would spend money in betting shops on horse racing found those places boring think players get more help for ther addiction now a day's
20K a week not mega money 😂 I think this kid is in for a rude awakening in the real world jobs market, hope he finds something tho because he seems a decent lad.
Rooney could do witth a defender with his experience at Birmingham city.
Honestly firstly I'm a big fan love the stories that are told here, but I just buried my sister and I'm a recovery addict 20 years now and what I'm a LFC fan and I supposed to feel bad,sorry what because I don't understand the pressure of earning millions loved by many and hated by others but I'd swap my life for good in a heartbeat so stop with the 🎻 the story I could tell of being a great footballer to the 90s raves into addiction losing friends, finding others dead and I'm ain't cold hearted but after burying my sister, look I can get addiction right but like he wasn't waking up shaking going through withdrawal from even thinking about a 🐎 or football stop will you. I'm from Dublin love the show but man do people understand the pressure premier League players are under, what to get payed more than a kids surgeon for playing a child's game like cmon David in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 Èire
