Just found your channel tbe other day and watched your podcast with Phil champion, now this one and I’ve already seen so many others I want to watch, love how you ask and then give the person time to answer without cutting in on them , I also admire how for example in this interview you showed your emotions and were obviously wanting to cry at one point , some presenters would cut that out but I love that you keep it real and as much as a lot of these ppl have changed and it’s inspiring it’s also inspiring imo for younger ppl especially young men to realise yeah this presenter wanted to cry , that’s ok , infact it’s normal , there’s nothing wrong with a man crying bcos he’s lost a friend or hearing about abuse etc , infact it’s way better than bottling it up and looking for revenge.
* Edit* The comment at the bottom was my original comment , if you read it, I explain why I’ve left it like this instead of just deleting it and writing as if I knew everything lol, I know it doesn’t mean much but I just feel in general these days we all just delete stuff and rewrite it as if we knew everything and are always right .
If truth be told , I looked up google and seen I was totally wrong lol , my apologies, no idea why I thought armed forces but I see the first video on the channel is your story so that’s my next watch , just from reading a short article I can already see you have a very unique and special business mind .
My original comment - Is there a video out there about your past? This is terrible but I only found your channel recently as I said but I’ve seen you before on stuff , for some reasons I want to say you were in the armed forces ? Can someone correct me if I’m wrong , I kkow Dodge might not have the time to but where is it I know him from ?
@@COYBIG1967Kind words mate 🙏
Love the channel Dodge many thanks for your work 🔥❤️
Incredibly powerful, one of the best ive seen across all channels, best of luck Darryl, god bless. Keep up the great work Dodge !
Top kid
To all the viewers I appreciate all your views, comments and love. This was by far my hardest interview and I've not been the same since reliving what did with Dodge. Dodge is something else & this interview was in the making for a while & we got it done in the end. He had goosebumps if truth been known. Thanks DW
Stay positive big man.... respect, rest of your life ahead of you... 👊
Stay positive mate
Iv got to admire your honesty, a proper real one, not glorified anything and humble with it, wish you luck all the best
Big man stay positive real OG
im sure i was in stoke heath back in 96 onwards , c.c when jail was jail lying on a metal bed allll day !!on your towel , you prob remember that kid in the cooking class that was killed for not giving some one some of his birthday cake , ,
Dodge my guy i swear your questions are absolutely spot on , i love the way you pause and let a man speak. Darren mate i can see that pain in your eyes, keep on helping the youth ❤
Darryl
@@TheDeeWing
Keep Going.Godbless you.🙏🤎🔥💯
@@TheDeeWing sorry I was half way down a bottle of brandy 👀
Very enlightening. Thank you. Brilliant probing, and questions, from you, AGAIN 🤩
I don't usually comment but you have to be the best podcaster out there. You are a great listener and ask the right questions. When Darell started to get emotional, I see you chocked up to. I could see you felt his pain. And one last thing I could see the pain in Darells eyes when he spoke about his mum, he is a great talker and has a very good message for the youth. I would like to say thanks you both for one of the best podcasts I have ever seen if not the best.
Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼
Top work as always dodge .this one was emotional.so glad Darrel i still soldiering on .
I absolutely adore Darryl and can only applaud him for how he’s turned his life around now. True inspiration 👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Love you ❤❤
Massive love to this guy and well done dodge, composed really well mate ❤️
"Communication is key"
Too true.
Good one Dodge.
.....
Five n half years of van life has come to an end. This Yorkshireman is now a Jock.
Spent enough time and money here over the last 35 years, so it's about time.
Little village in the rural outside Glasgow 🏴👊
Let me tell you about Darryl Laycock.. I went to h.m.p lindholme in Doncaster in 1995. And I was in the holding cells in h.m.p armley. And a bwoy said Darryl's in lindholme cos he's on a cross over. I went moorlands from hmp armley to moorlands then lindohlme. I went in there scared honestly. Got my stuff going over to the jail and bang who do I see Darryl. The man said stef yah cool and I said yeh..bro I went to my cell and come back out cos he said bring you pillow case. He took the pillow case and when he come back. Damm it had tuna and eggs weetbix and chines noodles and spices herbs pepper and cheese.when I went to my cell and put the stuff in there the screw come in and said Mr gaye it didn't take you long to get on your feet did it haha Darryl respect me bro. And you know and I know. Love mad respect POW 💚💛❤️
.😂
THOS PODCAST WAS SO MOVING.
Good work Gents both of you really powerful content
The message I get from this is parents need to be parents. It wasn’t this guys fault that he was born into a dysfunctional Violante family, but look at how much pain and grief this guy lived through and gave out. How much pain, grief and death his community experienced through his behavior, his drugs and bullets and knives that he sold and possessed. Look at the amount of decent people, like the nurses, doctors and police, who had trauma in dealing with this one guys actions. Decent members of his community that had good parents and who knew right from wrong. If you have kids, don’t hide knives, teach them right from wrong and behave like good people.
Mate, if you know how desperate life could be for his mother and father as young adults in the North of England during
the Eighties, you'd take back that comment.
People had nothing, and I do mean nothing, and it badly hurt people's pride and sense of worth.
What happened to Darryl happened to a lot of families throughout this great land, which was ruled by Tories Iron fist,
and they seemed to a hate for the young people of the North.
So when you say parents need to sit their children down and teach them right from wrong, in this era yes, that's a given.
But back then, it became a bit of a tall order for some people, because their whole frame of reference was smashed into pieces, be it with self-medicating or bad mental health or just sheer desperation.
For a lot of well-meaning parents, it can be a laborious task to teach a child right from wrong when the child witnesses the adults struggling and acting out in sheer desperation, so it's not a healthy environment to teach right from wrongs, because it's a home full of contradictions,
Then there are some kids have it even worse at home, and they'll bring their frustration into the streets, and these boys and girls have peers, which then mutates into serious behavioral problems for all the youngsters involved.
So as you see there was a much bigger picture, and a much bigger problem than just being able to instill right from wrong, especially when the kid can plainly see the parent being a hypocrite, because there's only so much you can hide from a kid in the home, which of course creates its own tension.
It's no wonder some kids were doomed to fail before they even started.
@@fredzep01 I totally get that, and I don't think things are better now than they were decades ago, lots of families on the breadline. My point I'd that it's back to basics. Respect your community, help eachother and teach that to your kids.
@@janephillips6031 back then even the breadline was near unattainable to some households, and I don't just say that lightly, that's the truth.
No it definitely is a lot better as far as work goes, and the quality of life has gotten better, but there's still a lot of folk suffering needlessly, and the kids are still being neglected, the frustrating thing is, how many times do we need to say there has to be some help for inner city youngsters, because there's nothing for them on a community level to be involved in.
As we know youngsters follow trends, be it good trends or bad ones, so they'll happily drift into what ever culture the street guides them into, so you'd think the Government on a local level could understand this and step into that void, and provide communities with what's needed to invest in our children's welfare, instead of the local drug gang grooming the young exploiting them.
If the country looked after the kids, the kids would look after the country.
After all, the kids are also our future.
Don't know the guy regardless of what hes done. deep down he sounds like a top guy makes a lot of sense
Heavy stuff..
Council estate worst nighmare

Well done Darryl for opening up. Manchester was a dangerous place back in the day.
No matter how he comes across now, this guy was a serious wrong'un. When people say "to be honest with you" it's generally a red flag and this is no exception. Great interview though and I wish him well undoing some of the damage. Captivating stuff.
There isn't a more powerful message for the youngsters of today. Yes, this man has survived so so much and has one hell of a story, but look at the pain he is left with. I hope he will continue to pave the way and if anyone can help reduce gang and knife crimes, its Darryl.
The more I hear stories of all these ex criminals it’s so sad how nearly all of them have had majorly traumatic childhoods
Ex criminals. Kind Regards Darryl Laycock
@@TheDeeWing do apologise mate , ex criminals ! Keep going mate your doing amazing work
Nobody goes this way with love and nurture trust me failed children that's all we are
The Love for his Mom knows no bounds, I can relate to that even though I never met mine.
Thanks for the Compassion Dodge, your Ethical and that’s why your number one interviewer and hope to meet in the future when I am ready. 😊
His mum Joan went with me in the ambulance when I got shot🙏🏽🙏🏽 she was an amazing woman 💯
Quickly becoming the Number 1 podcast for real content, this stuff is needed. Thanks Dodge and all your incredible guests.
I relate to this more than I should I seen things as a teenager up Sheffield no adult should see never mind a child..I lost my best mate through drugs, and decided enuff was enough. I was looking at prison pack your bag court.... I'm now happy away from that two kids one 16 going on 21. One 7. Both great kids my other half has made me the person I am today. Ppl can change. Life being the big thing isnt the way, dad re married they had kids had it all, my mum did her best being single with us 3. Life is for living. This guy tells the truth for many youngers out there.
Give it a rest
I bet some of the younger folk thought the saying no blacks no dogs no Irish is something made up or exaggerated but no , that was a sign placed at many work places sadly
Powerful episode and brilliant podcasting again Dodge, very compassionate and a very valuable listen for young and older people alike.
Good man Rey 💪🏼
That was a compelling interview Dodge. I hope D gets the help needed. The guy is battling with it right now. I wish him peace and light. You too Dodge.
Child abuse has a lot to answer for. It ruins lives!
It certainly does . I’ve been through it and it took me many years to stop blaming myself . I’m nothing tho really, just a guy but to see this big hulk of a guy who was very dangerous break down and talks about it is sad and hurts but it’s also so amazing bcos there’s ppl he will get through too. If one young black man who’s suffered similar feels he can admit it and get help then that’s amazing and a great start
This was a tough watch - and big respect to Darryl for doing this. I was never involved in this life, but as someone who also grew up in the Hulme Crescents and then Moss Side, I knew many that were, including some who never made it through those times. It was a rough, dark time which devastated our community - breaking the cycle and changing your life is one of the most difficult things to do, so fair play.
Made me cry this. I've watched 2 or 3 of Darryl's interviews. This is a strong man. I hope he has or can get peace of mind. Respect dude. Its not my place to say but your Mom would be super happy the way your life is now dude. Stay strong .
I’ve seen a few of Darryl’s long podcasts and this is the best time one. He’s so captivating but Dodge’s interview technique has made this such an amazing interview. Don’t think many people could turn their life around like Darryl has. Well done mate.
I can testify his mum was like that community aunty that turned no one away. She was good to us all. We need to become communities again and look out for each other. Money and material things does not equal happiness. Love and contentment and good people around does
💛🙏🏾👑🙏🏾💛

😢o😂🎉 30:28 😂l😂
What a brave man too come clean after the life he's had. Big Respect. Great interview Dodger.
Wow, I can vouch for Daryl when it comes to the police on that that estate used to pick young people up they suspected of being in other gangs and dropping them on the other side, which for them was enemy territory.
As a direct consequence someone got shot and thankfully survived, however its something everyone can clearly see and the victim has to live with everyday of their life.
Thanks again Daryl for sharing your story and pain it will help so many people.
stay strong bro.
@dodge - Very well handled! 8:42 good interview skills!
Dude Darryl really appears like he has remorse, also dude looks like he’s still emotionally hurting for whatever reasons.
❤ wow what an interview. You can see and feel his pain! May his soul find peace xx
Love Wednesday's. Always good entertainment.
I think you’ll this one Andy 👀🔥
Agreed! Wednesday latest dodge podcast is highlight of the week. Don’t think you’ll ever top Dave Courtney as a guest though... RIP.
Just goes to show there are real men and good minds behind all this gang BS. If only they knew at the time.
Remember the bullring in Hulme, used to go to The Nile, Reno club ...... good times 😅
Dodge is definitely my favorite interviewer, such a patient style makes it really easy to listen to.
Thank-you Dodge, this was deep. I've heard Darryl's life story before but not in this much detail. It's your questions that make the difference Dodge, with care and attention. Hope things get a lot better for Darryl in the future.
I met Darryl about 10 years ago on an entrepreneurial course in Liverpool. He was banned from Manchester at the time.. I bumped into him a few months after at a train station. Stand up guy. Pray all the best for his future. Great interview Dodge did a great job! 🙏 God bless
Another excellent interview Dodge . I can honestly say now that you have become my number 1 podcast for interviews . When it’s someone who I have seen before I love the way you always bring something new to your interviews. I’ve never seen this guy before but it’s been an amazing interview and so powerful. Keep doing what you’re doing mate and I wish you all the luck and success for the future. All the best mate.
What a lovely message Neil and it’s massively appreciated.
We put in a lot of hard graft to bring everyone really good content each week.
Good man 👍🏼👍🏼
Watch delinquent nation much better
Really enjoying the podcast bud. It's crazy listening to the stories of when you had different jails popping, I've done a few of the same shovels back in 90s n 2000s, u could live nice back then. Times have definitely changed. Big up yourself Darryl, you've come a long way 💪 🙌 💯. Keepin it real.
Great interview Darryl 👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽👊🏽 you are doing an amazing job spreading your truth mate. Its so hard but brave of you to tell your story and relive your past. The pain you carry, will hopefully ease once you settle into these counselling sessions. I am sorry I missed your talk again last night in the unity 🫣🫣 keep getting my days mixed up 😔😒
Thanks Kelly 🙏🏾💛👑💛🙏🏾
Been lucky enough to meet Darryl through his work with at risk youngsters. Can honestly say he’s the most inspirational and genuine men I’ve met! Keep doing what you do Darryl…you’re making a difference❤️
Thanks
This might just be the best podcast I've ever watched. So powerful. The message at the end, about how no ones chipping in the 7 grand it cost to bury you. About the people who will pay to hurt you in jail and film it. The idea of mandatory 5 year sentencing for carrying knives. That’s powerful. That's the fucking truth. Thank you.
I can’t lie I cried watching this and I hardly ever cry, I really felt this guy
Fuck, every kid who wants to run around the streets, watch this. This man is living breathing trauma.
God bless you Darryl lad, and may your mum rest in peace.
It's obvious you're not a bad person at heart,
you've lived through a bad situation that our government helped create, through a lack of opportunity in the North,
the guilt isn't all yours, and hopefully this new counselor help you understand that.
Deep, kids need to listen. Nothing like the truth and the pain in his eyes to show you it's not worth it. Brave man, keeping going Darrel spread the word and keep strong pal. We can see your pain.
Dodge, keep in touch with this chap please. That pain in his eyes need healing, I sure you can help him trough his tough times.
Big shout Daryl from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 u a surviour brother ,good interview dodge always killing it bro
Seen this guy before. No nonsense, pulls no punches about that lifestyle he was involved in. Nothing fake or over glamourising things. Fair play to him
that message right at the end was intense this was the best interview ever. hope darryl find peace god bless him and dodge you"re channel is amazing
Good man John 👍🏼👍🏼
Mr Neil Woods you owe Daryll a drink for him not believing you were working there for almost 2 years ffs Respect to the ops who do that shit @neilwoods
You do it right Sir. Best interviewer by far in terms of prompts, questions and time spent in silence.
Appreciate your message Nick 🙏
Darryl hey bro hope ya ok my mate was with u on 5 lanings on walton, keep strong bro your a good person x
I was born just up the road in gorton and back in the late sixties and through the seventies and the places my talks about were all decent communities the people were hard working nobody give a fxxk about your skin colour or where you came from we co existed together played together nobody had a pot to piss in , right up to thatcher and the tories who devastated the industry mass unemployment took hold and from that point on communities splintered and the rest is well documented, big respect to my man for the work he does, it’s guys and women like him who are going to bring about change,, the political class abandoned the people long ago so don’t look too them it isn’t going to come. Could you imagine what this guy could do with political and media backing
Can't blame Thatcher for industry. UK in the 70s and early 80s was the sick man of Europe. UK was bankrupt after the war and only started recovering in the 60s. But then successive governments didn't invest in industry and society. By the time of Thatcher the damage was done, she had to deal with the outcome. She had many faults but some people like to ignore what happened before her. Ie the previous Labour government closed far more coal mines than she ever did. The UK was in a massive change from industry to service and financial industries and unfortunately traditional industry was discarded. Every government since has carried on with lack of investment including Blair who was a massive con man.
Powerful and emotional podcast dodge. I cant help but feel, the pain he was feeling was inflicted on dozens of families in and around his area, at HIS hands. I cant feel sorry for him. Just cos he's changed doesnt mean he should be forgiven or felt sorry for. I just hope he can change the kids minds and stop them turning to knives,guns,drugs and crime.
I spent a few years living in Hulme, not during the bullring days but from 93-99. He’s quite right, loads of Irish & black people living side by side. Good people, but hard people.
My gran used to drink in the bars in Hulme and Moss Side & was a well known character round there.
One of my big bros old friends from Jucie. If It wasn't for my bro knowing him me and me boy would have been done for all over a GT BMX of his brothers I think. He has a heart I know but not many peeps would think it but I wouldn't cross that man lol nuff luv bro
Great listen and insight to this man's life. I was aware of how bad Moss Side was back in the day, hopefully it's a much safer place to be now
Wow the story about your mum got me bad I cant even talk about my mum coz my throat just clamps up n I can't talk. Your a real hard man my big bro is from that gen and he knew Darrell from school r Jamie he knows who. He's never had a bad word
Hi Dodge, another great pod cast, you can see this guy is carrying a lot on his shoulders, a lot of the people you have on have a simlar up bringing, just go different ways, feel for him, good luck in your life
Great podcast excellent story great to see how you gave Darryl time when he was explaining upsetting stuff and difficult things could see you were moved by some of the stuff I know I was . Great content Dodge and you’ve done it again smashed it ps when are you gonna start selling T-Shirts with “Let’s roll all the way Back “ on em #topman
Most people in life have gone through shit and trauma though it doesn't give you the right to treat people bad. Believe me I wasn't brought up I was dragged up. I was in the care system for years been apoused and my partner got stapped the death seen my mother getting battered of my dad through drink and my sister dieing of drink though doe's that give me the right to take it out on other people. No. There's no excuse at all.
Darryl mentioned when he was younger and was carrying a gun he felt he was the man .. Like to think he feels far more of a man now with the awareness to make changes to his life and the bravery to let his guard down and release the emotion he did .. takes a far bigger set of gonads to do that .. fair play .. keep it up .. good episode
Dodge or James English podcast both quality podcasts keep them both coming! Dodge can u try get mark Williams Thomas on or peter faulding on 😎
Wooow this really touch me and a powerful podcast this is , I feel his pain and can relate, big ups Darryl keep strong bro you got this
Shady life never brings a sunny day,all the best for your courage man you should write a book 📕 looking down the barrel of gunchester -set up the story with the kids too knife crime is rife has we know !
Tough interview mate. I could understand very hard to connect. I grew up in NZ. We have a brutal underbelly of violence too.
Big up Darryl, if anyone can understand the youth and make a change it's you brother, your mother would be so proud how you changed ❤
Brilliant episode Dodge! Love listening to real stories from real people, it's very powerful. I look forward to seeing what else comes up in the future on your channel!
Darryl is amazing and I'm in awe at his work with the young ones. His healing journey is inspiring and proud to call him a friend ❤
Look, I'm under no illusion that Darryl has been a proper naughty boy, but this man is hurting and it's so sad to see. Look after yourself Darryl. Your Mum loved Christmas and your birthday, maybe you could celebrate those days, not for you, but for your Mum, to celebrate her? Look after yourself fella.
Baring your soul like this takes real bravery.
Powerful podcast
Nothing but respect and love ❤️ for Darryl 💯
What a guy not easy to turn your life around when you have had so much trauma wishing you a peaceful remainder of your life you are a warrior you can't change your past but you can hopefully create a positive future great podcast Dodge
Nice one Helen 👍🏼👍🏼
Some people are just meant to be here shot 29 times stabbed 7 times is crazy and the fact his mum kept him hes got a purpose
He is carrying around a lot of pain. A lot of trauma, feel it for him 😢
Have been enjoying your podcast, good stuff. Saludos de Panamá 🇵🇦
What a life. That man is carrying some serious trauma. Good luck to D D
Thanks for what you do darrel. Thank you dodge
My pleasure 👍🏼👍🏼
The best podcast very emotional when he got upset you did to dodge what a good man you are the best at what you do
Another GREAT podcast Dodge 👏
I know this episode says it all very powerful testimony 😮😮😮
I Know Darryl well from back in the day and I can say he’s the real deal. Serious guy with a big heart. Soldier 🔥💯⭐️🙏
Gotta be one of the best podcasters on UA-cam period facts 💯
Kind words Ty 🙏
i feel his pain about grief
Love this interview but is Daryl off his box!?
Dodge get Marc White on … his story is almost unbelievable but 100 percent true. Dorking Wanderers chairman .. pls pls look into him before it’s too late… he’s hilarious as well 😂💯
Will do Bobbi, especially if he’s a proper character.
You got a contact for him?
Thanks 😊
@@DodgeWoodall contact Dorking wanderers and they will definitely help you he loves it!! Lol.. you can thank me later 😂 😂
Dodge he’s all over Talksport tonight… quick ffs!! They are all slowly clicking on!! I put you on this move weeks ago?! 🙄😂🤦🏼♂️
SO REFRESHING. Podcasts are just becoming silly nowadays with idiot gangsta stuff. I just love these honest podcasts from grown men just actually telling their story not to be glorified but just telling their story. ❤
Respect Dodge...great interview as well! Best podcast out there👊🏽👌
Appreciate that Martin 🙏
Darryl..I guess you have been a scary man in the past..I guess NOW..God loves you (and I am not really religious). Hard stuff with this interview. Well done man for letting it out!
Shit, reading that you were conceived by the R word as your mum dies 😢 shit. Abused twice , man Honestly how can you blame him for going the way he did.
Of course he’s done wrong , he admits it and I’m sure he’s done stuff I couldn’t imagine but i don’t pity you , I respect your honesty and i really think you will inspire a lot of ppl who are going through similar the now . As someone who’s been through similar abuse for this man to say that on here is brave .
You can literally see him feeling the shame of some of the stuff he’s done , you can see it in his face and his eyes. I suppose no one really knows but I’d say I’m comfortable that this guy is truly one hundred percent reformed
My man needs do cardio. His breathing is not good
Good luck for your future Daryl. Wish you all the best. Very evident that childhood nurture creates the life you'll lead. My daughters were abused by their mother for years. Only found out the full truth when they got away from her. I fear for how it will affect their future.
Fuck Dodge, this went straight into the darkest times of this man’s life. He has some serious trauma. Amazing how the big man gangsta - got serious emotions, I respect him.
