Always used to piss me off that my door was always last to be opened for food so until i was pally with lad on servery list, we would get what ever food was left and sometimes wouldnt even get what had ordered!! The servery lads had everything off bedore we eat!! I was mates with the lad on Servery soon so i never had issue again and alwAys had 4 baps every night!!!
I was in berwyn last year and we had 23 and half hours behind the door! They blamed covid but it was lack of staff!-i sent the apps in but was a waste of time! Fortunately there was a couple of properly decent screws like yourself that used to speak to you like a human being and they would open my door being let out for 10 mins in morning or afternoon when they were on shift! Which doesnt souNd a lot but they aren't supposed to let you out, but they did and it definitely helped me out and stopped me losingy head! 2nd biggest prison in Europe and no staff so its no surprise no one can be seen by health care! Literally thrown in a cell til release date! No Rehabilitation what so ever!
THIS is the kind of influencer that teenagers need to be exposed to and not love island x factor toxic crap. Shaun well done for telling your story. So many teenagers and adults can relate and take something good from your story. Well done and thank you for sharing with us.
Cut his ponytail off has got to be one the funniest things said on youtube. I know this video must have been hard to do. Almost the same as opening up to a shrink etc. Very brave mate. I know. But cut his ponytail off really did make this a legendary episode. Sam , you've sat and listened to Shaun open up , I hope you realize the confidence Shaun has gained by you listening. Your support is amazing. Hat off !! Good man.
I can't usually watch interviews that go on for hours. My attention span isn't the best, but Shaun has quite a phenomenal story to tell. Full of highs and lows and you can see him struggling at times. I am hoping there is a happy end for him in Pt3. He deserves one.
Likewise, I thought, over an hour, no, I’ll just skim through, 2 hours later, I’m on the second part. I have a lot of respect for both Sam and Shaun especially, he comes across as very levelled at this stage in his life. Respect!
Massive respect to Shaun for being so honest about his story and sharing it with us. I wish him all the luck in the world and all the best for the future. Good luck lad👍
I won’t lie , I couldn’t wait no longer I watched this last night. Incredible x Thank you Shaun for sharing your story (and taking Sam off my hands for a few hrs hours 🤪😉) will see you at our next Bbq 🍗 x
I look after about 20 Mental health Units across southeast, Do not ever underestimate how important it is to talk about these issues 10/10 to Shaun takes brave man. Well done Sam
Could listen to Sam all day long. This channel is brilliant at helping people tell there stories and get everything off their chest. It’s great for healing and the steps to getting positive and learning to manage emotions and demons! Take care Sam!
It’s a brave and confident man, who can share his mental issues and life experiences with everyone. Shaun wishing you all the very best for the future. Your presentation and deliverance throughout has been excellent. Thank you
How do! Shaun has such a big heart! Despite the journey has has been on there is real and raw strength in that man. He is an inspiration to many. Such a sad story from a guy who just wanted to be loved as a kid. Breaks my heart. I hope he goes on to provide the leadership and inspiration to people who are at risk of going down the road he has. What a man.
Going through some withdrawal myself and want to thank Shaun for getting me an extra 3 hours through today with his amazing story, I dont know you mate but best of luck to you, you a fantastic guy at heart.
Head up m8 you can do this try and build on them 3hours you got this believe it or not your post will give positive vibes to others As well 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Seasiders
Oh hi again Shaun. I was so affected by your story as the same happened to me when I was 5 - 7 years old, with an old man that lived around the corner. I have suffered self harm (still do) suicide attempts etc. Now I never go out. I think I'm the only one who, during this lockdown, my life hasn't changed! But you are such a great example of overcoming what has happened. I'm not there yet....... but one day, hopefully, I will be like you. Lots of love Shaun from me and my dog x
@life on the outside Thank you so much! I might do that. If I don't I'm sure many people who have commented, and can relate. The problem is when I have contacted my doctor they are really good, as they get me to see a MH crisis nurse who's really good, but I'm kind of left with, 'If you feel like this again get in touch.' Which is good, but when you're at rock bottom, you feel like 'what's the point?'
Hi Sam and Shaun, thank you for doing this. It may help someone along the way. I was born in Salford near Strangeways and my dad worked for many years at Prestwich Hospital. Shaun, I’m am truly sorry that these things happened to you. Things would have been so different if someone had just listened and picked up the signs. Look after yourself and keep being strong. Sam, you’re one in a million- much respect.
Shaun your story is very powerful, I’ve suffered myself and can’t tell you how much it means to hear a big man be raw and true. Just in doing that I’m sure you’ve reached many young males who can relate to you and hopefully learn from your experiences. It s very courageous of you to speak your truth and be vulnerable. Thank you for that I’m sending best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 Good luck to you
Watched this twice now and still blown away by your story. Got my emotions going again, you have so many people rooting for you. All the best! Bring on part 3..... 🥰
Well done Shaun for being so honest. Your story is powerful cant wait for part 3.Sam your such a decent human being with a good heart.Im sober 16 years myself,we all have a past but can come through almost anything &have a decent life.Well done guys 👏👏👏
Wow!! Another heart wrenching vlog Sam.Thank you for telling your story Shaun. Your courage and honesty at speaking out will definitely help some people watching this. I’ve never committed any crime let alone been to prison, however I can only imagine what it is like. The system seems to be it’s own worst enemy. If the staff show more respect to the prisoners, they will get that respect and trust back. Prisoners often react the way they do as a defence mechanism. It’s similar to the environment that I work in mental health. Very thought provoking and I’m glad you have turned your life around and are settling down…..I do have one complaint though…….I woke my husband up laughing when you were talking about the Taffyneese….boyo…..in fact I’m still laughing at your Cop ☕️ story 😆 😆 great humour that has brightened my day……the only thing that’s missing……a big black snotty nose belonging to Stevie 💙🐾🐾💙
Where to start...I've watched both videos and both have made me feel emotional especially at the end of this one when we find out that Paul who seemed like the only man in the prison service who had tried to positively help Shaun had taken his own life...I'm a big daft Yorkshireman ( bit like Sam) and had a tear in my eye.. Look in the mirror Shaun and say to that man whose looking back at you ' I'm proud of you and keep going forward..' I'm not in the best of mental health myself and that big black dog ( not Sam's Steven 🤣) does still come into my mind and I have to deal with it...take care guys and looking forward to the next video....
Chris if you haven’t get yourself a dog mate. They work wonders for your mental health and will the best, most loyal friend a man can ever have. Hope your situation has improved🙂👍🏻
Hi Sam just watched both interviews with Shawn and I’ll tell ya mate how refreshing it is to finally have a platform for lads who have suffered mental health and have been let down by the justice system you could see the more he spoke the more he opened up the better he started to feel I myself spent 19 yrs in prison 6 different sentences first one 4mths detention center to my last 12yrs been out since 2016 and still on licence till June next yr you are a good sole and a very caring person we can all see that so congratulations on your Chanel mate keep up the good work and remember ex con or ex screw we are all human being god bless mate 👍👍🙏🙏
Shaun you drawn me in and I hope you make something positive out of your life, you seem a down to earth likeable guy best wishes for the future and I look forward to seeing/hearing more of you. You have a fan ✌️👍
I watched shaun on another channel a while ago his story is heartbreaking, listened to his story again here and still has the same effect , wishing you all the happiness in the world shaun your such a nice bloke.... Sam i love your channel no bullshit all real keep it up fella.
I've watched 100s of podcasts through the years but this is the one that broke me, I was in tears when Shaun got emotional about listening to that song and then howling at the ponytail incident. I find shaun very engaging and a humble man, hats off to you to Sam for helping him out. I can't believe I've just watched 3 hours of this podcast when normally I wouldn't watch a podcast for more than 20 minutes. Can't wait for the 3rd one. @life on the outside I wish you all the best mate, your an inspiration!
Wow that's shocking how this man was treated, full respect for his honesty and humility, that must have been very hard telling that story, good luck Shaun, great videos Sam
Sam you have opened up a channel for genuinely lovely and normal people to be open and honest about their lives - helps people to see how close everyone is to being in that situation. You are sooo understanding x
Shaun you are an inspiration bro, overcome things nobody should have to experience, and still come out the other side wanting to help others, a true gentleman and I wish you every success mate you deserve it!
Yet again what a story,and a bloody good memory you have Shaun to recall everything you have been through,this needs to be published into a book.cant wait to be continued xxx
Well done Shaun, chin up and best foot forward mate. You are doing a great job. Sam, superb as ever always honest and straightforward. The reason there are no trolls is because of the integrity of your content.
I have got to add I looked up Mr Paul Goodridge just to put a face to the name. Straight away a glowing review of his character. Winning awards for his handling of his staff and people in his care. Your part of his legacy Shaun keep up the positive attitude bro
Morning Sam morning Shaun I'm walking along the beach listening to this and I think that Shaun is an amazing human being who has come through a horrendous life and I wish him all best in his life going forward 💚☘
Thank you so much Sam for the video. Hand on heart, it is a honour to listen to Shaun relaying his lifes journey. I am brought to tears, hearing his story.This is a man who deserves to go from strength to strength. People come into our lives for a reason, he is fortunate to have you as a mate. Your one in a million, keep safe, take care, I'llsithee!
Thankyou shaun so much for sharing your journey. Im a student nurse and this has really helped my understanding of mental health and the underlying reasons why people behave the way they do. Thankyou for your insight.
This was tough to watch because of how emotional you got but i am happy to know that you have got though that dark place please stay safe and take care.
I loved the first 1 Guys! 👍🤗 I think he has come leaps and bounds! Shaun you really are helping people out there and that is so lovely of you! 🥰 heart of gold! I’m only 1:36 mins in to this podcast by the way! 😁 I can’t wait to watch it now!🥰😁
@life on the outside Shaun one quality that you have is when you meet someone it's like they would feel like they have known you for year's. I'm 4 months clean off the gear and stone. The biggest thing I've learned is Radical Acceptance you might not agree with it but you have to accept it. It took me 19 years to accept my brother's death and only now and staying substance free can I get on with my life. Big hugs Shaun from Scott.
Shaun you are so so brave and it’s so easy to see what a huge heart you have, I wish you all the best and nothing but goodness for the rest of your life. Sam keep up the good work absolutely love this channel xxx
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s wonderful that people who are affected by childhood trauma , who become addicts , who have been swimming about alone in this huge friendless world . Thank you Sam for giving us this platform to connect to others who have been through similar things , it connects us all.
I started watching this by chance as my partner follows your podcasts & I've got to say Shaun's story is in one way so sad because his life only went a certain way thru circumstances & things that happened to him as a child. The decisions he then made growing up were fuelled by anger so there was no doubt his life went the way it did. However on the other hand it shows what a strong, honest man he is and that he is so intelligent! I mean that as it takes a clever person to understand their emotions and realise how important mental health actually is. Not to mention how brave u have to be to talk so open and honestly to others! To hear what Shaun has been thru & then hear him talk how he is now is so encouraging to others. Drugs are perfect to remove how u feel but it's still there at the end! To talk it out & make sense of trauma is the only way to move forward and Shaun has proven that if he can do it, then anyone can. Thanks for such an honest and real story Shaun & I sincerely wish you all the very best for ur future. Lisa H x
What another fantastic video. Tears, bit of laughter, respect & admiration for sam & shaun, the vid had it all. So many emotions, thanks again guys, for getting real lives out there regarding mental health, prison n beyond. Top notch x
I'm already looking forward to part 3 - very honest and disturbing videos, thanks for sharing your story Shaun. When I was in Strangeways the mental health team weren't great, the head of the team would lie in my reviews that she had seen me, when I was telling them I wasnt being seen. When I told them she was lying they just brushed over it. When I did get to see somebody it was myself and another prisoner, a therapist and a pot of tea - or jug I should say. We would just talk about whatever, nothing deep and meaningful because it wasnt a private environment. The taxpayer will delighted to know what their taxes are being spent on!
The worst thing is going to sleep hungry. Obviously the boredom is massive but the urban myths of sexual assault are just that, urban myths! You can find trouble easy enough but if you get your head down you'll be left alone.
Real touch of class at 54mins. Shows why your so well respected and why you are the ideal candidate for future prison officers to strive to be like. Real touch of class, humanity. I wish you both peace ✌
Thank you for speaking so honestly a lot of what you were talking about I can relate. I think you are a credit to yourself to have come through the other side. Keep strong
"Ow do"........I've watched this now a second time, cant begin to tell you how powerful this story is, to myself, and I'm sure many others. Fucking first class shaun 👏 Sam, you've certainly found your calling.👏👏 thanks again.......
Shaun where you finished today was on another level. It’s clear that your mentor Paul saw in you what others are seeing through Sam’s podcasts. But at that time to have lost the one person who showed belief in you; I just can’t imagine your pain. It’s testament to you as a person, that you are here today. Others may not have been as strong. Sometimes it’s those who give so much of themselves to others are the very ones who need someone to reach out to them. Like you say Sam, you never know what that other person is going through. Thank you for telling your story Shaun, it might just help someone take a different path Take care x
This was very touching, very emotional moments. It’s great to see two men openly talking about their feelings. These types of conversations need to happen more often between men especially. The suicide rate amongst young men is at its highest. I really do believe this video will break down barriers & stigma... men are allowed to cry & express emotions just as much as women. It really could saves lives. Shaun did a great job in telling his story. I’ve got nothing but respect for him. He’s turned his life around. I will look forward to Shaun’s channel. Ps I’m from North Wales and I don’t hate you! X
Shaun I honestly don't think you realize how funny you are and the best thing is you don't even try to be funny. I wish you all the luck in the world .
Just watched pt1 and pt2 and found your story very interesting and moving. I'm going to watch the next one now as I am gripped by your story. And once again Sam you are doing a fantastic job thanks 😊
Shaun you tell your story so well. Great that you are willing to go back to such dark times to help others. Didn't want that video to end..... look forward to the next part. Good luck with the rest of your life
Wow, that’s the best podcast I’ve seen and I’ve been watching lots of them over the past year, it’s also the first time I’ve left a comment. Fair play to you Sam, and Shaun keep going lad, you are a good man.
Thank you so much Shaun from the bottom of my heart. You have shown so much courage. Thank you too Sam for being the gateway and allowing these discussions to become the platform for change and a better opportunity for human understanding. Listening to you both has gone to the core, in a positive way.
Oh wow that was deep, I feel so emotional right now. I am so glad that someone finally listened to you Shaun and gave you a chance. RIP to that decent man🙏👍
Thanks for sharing Shaun , total respect for your honesty and giving people the understanding . All the very best and truly hope you find your peace pal x
I could watch you two talking, sharing your memories and life experiences ALL day long. Shaun your amazing! after going through all the things that you've had to endure and coming out the other side of it all. Massive respect to you mate!!! 👍 Can't wait for parts 3,4,5,6..........
I can't believe I'm about to communicate with a screw! But your a decent bloke just doing his job to the best of your ability, Sean bruv I can relate to you and your story so much it's unbelievable. When I went to prison smart phones had only just came out . When I got out everyone has got one I'd never heard of UA-cam. This is the first thing I've subscribe to because I thought u had to pay or something. I can't believe this is free as this has helped me so much. I've been struggling recently even contemplating going back inside. so lots of sleepless nights , and listening to your podcasts helps me so much. Listening to Sean reminds me of the knob heads u hsve to deal with (pls don't think I'm calling u z knob head )and the jail mentality you have to have its so hard to adjust wen u get out. I would love to have a chat with u both if possible. Peace love and full respect to u both. Would love to hear from u both all the possible best from bottom of my heart....smithy
Lifeontheoutside@mail.com I can't thank you enough bruv for your reply. I look forward to hearing to your part 3, how you got out, how you adjusted to life and loosing the jail mentality you have to have inside. I've been struggling recently and started using again , I feel such a failure as I had everything from a good plumbing and heating business, nice house nice vehicle's nice holiday every year ,nice misses and little boy. Then in the space of 5 or 6 days everything just crashed I lost everything and was sleeping in my van till I lost my license. I just felt broken and I didn't give a fuck I just went on a ruthless self-destructive mission, people say and I believe this that prison saved my life. I went over 3 times in a week each time waking up in the same hospital bed and same hospital staff each time. I really don't know what I'm doing at the moment I just can't seem to move forward or focus on any thing? I just don't know what I'm doing and wats the point!
Total respect for both of these blokes ! Once again your story resonates with me bro . Glad your in a better place now , sounds mad but if you ever needed an ear to listen or help with anything I would help you bro
I've been in that head space at rock bottom where you think you're worthless. We are quick to slate ourselves for our mistakes but seem to forget the good things we do. Having the courage to go through all those things that you have and help others by telling your story is one of those Amazing things. Thank you Shaun
A story so close to my heart Fair play to Shaun his story hits close to home it's inspirational to hear what he's got to say so many of us with similar story line and have felt the same thoughts great pod this mate thanks 💯🙏🏻🏴
Wow, Well done you should be proud of yourself. I have had similar experiences with mental health team! My Mother was jailed in 2014 for Historical Abuse all types. Then 2016 my daughter Hayley passed away Age 25. I was in a mental health hozzy July August got no help at all. Late August I told the I was fine. Moved to a new house Sept, Oct I was pulled from a bridge, Jan 2019 I jumped. Inn hozzy for 10months. Broken neck,back,pelvis shattered my leg. I am intelligent,articulate but had severe trauma. There is no help. Keep it up brilliant interview Thank you both of you x
Top man . Massive. Respect to both . I struggle with mental health issues but I haven’t been thru half the stuff that he’s been thru but I still struggle every day.. RESPECT ✊
I put things in boxes in my mind , it’s like old style police records in my head . It’s fascinating how backgrounds of childhood trauma tend to do things the same way. Females , like me, self medicate ,, guys seem to commit crime . Life is a great big roller coaster ups and downs , side to side , but we do have periods where life is good. You’re awesome for doing this Sam. Thank you 😊
A great channel, great host, brilliant total theme, great name to the channel too! Some really eye opening guests, all interesting and humbling to hear their stories and the Journeys they are on. There's a lot of positivity on here and in the current circumstances it supports many people experiencing such stories, events, comments and care about people throughout. Sad, worrying, concerning, enlightening and rewarding to see some positive changes and outcomes being made. Inspiring really and makes one have gratitude and better understanding. Thanks Sam and ALL who contribute to making this REAL.
Rally brilliant. I just hope life is settling down now and Shaun gets the best chances in life he deserves a medal. Thankyou shaun. Also to you Sam best wishes jan
Cheers Sam.....and cheers Shaun.....I’m an ex inmate , done around 11 yrs in total behind the big green door....not proud of it , not one bit but I can relate to most of the story told....thanks for sharing your story and your honesty....glad your in a bit better place now Shaun...you’ve had your tough episodes in life , so deserve a break, and some good fortune....take care pal and look after yaself .....health is wealth 💪🏼👍❤️
@life on the outside cheers for the reply bro....iv subscribed to your channel, hopefully you do get it up n running..like Sam mentioned in the vid....once again, take good care and stay safe 👍❤️
Ow do, just got to last 3 minutes.......didn't see it coming, im in tears...... for you shaun, you Sam, and for Paul and his family. Shaun, you should be proud of who you are and what you've become.......im humbled that you have shared this story with us, your a fucking legend pal......🙏
God bless you both 🤙🏻💯 Miracles happen when people jus sit down n talk. I’m goin thru a lot atm but your work keeps me goin Sam n admire Shaun’s strength props to you both 💪🏻
Great this lads, I'm another Shaun living in Germany. My son has just done two years. Doesn't speak at all about it. Trying to slowly get him to share, it's difficult but listen to yous helps. Take care 😘
Wow, what a video. Got to admit, I was really shocked in a couple of parts. Anger and depression can be so corrosive - when you’ve never been listened to, or shown how to handle strong feelings they just fester. Sounds like you’ve found your way through them now Shaun, stay strong ❤️
Best of Luck to you Shaun I really mean that, and how do to you Sam, great channel, these days i've hardly the patience to sit sit through a film but your vlogs have got me riveted .

Cut his ponytail off has got to be one the funniest things said on youtube.
I know this video must have been hard to do. Almost the same as opening up to a shrink etc. Very brave mate. I know.
But cut his ponytail off really did make this a legendary episode.

Oh hi again Shaun. I was so affected by your story as the same happened to me when I was 5 - 7 years old, with an old man that lived around the corner. I have suffered self harm (still do) suicide attempts etc. Now I never go out. I think I'm the only one who, during this lockdown, my life hasn't changed!

Stay strong girl and chin up with a smile helps
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you Michelle
Sending strength michelle 🙏❤️
Hi Michelle you're not the only one my life hasn't changed through lockdown either. Stay strong darling. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
@life on the outside Thank you so much! I might do that. If I don't I'm sure many people who have commented, and can relate.

I'm not in the best of mental health myself and that big black dog ( not Sam's Steven 🤣) does still come into my mind and I have to deal with it...take care guys and looking forward to the next video....
Chris if you haven’t get yourself a dog mate. They work wonders for your mental health and will the best, most loyal friend a man can ever have. Hope your situation has improved🙂👍🏻
Hi Sam just watched both interviews with Shawn and I’ll tell ya mate how refreshing it is to finally have a platform for lads who have suffered mental health and have been let down by the justice system you could see the more he spoke the more he opened up the better he started to feel I myself spent 19 yrs in prison 6 different sentences first one 4mths detention center to my last 12yrs been out since 2016 and still on licence till June next yr you are a good sole and a very caring person we can all see that so congratulations on your Chanel mate keep up the good work and remember ex con or ex screw we are all human being god bless mate 👍👍🙏🙏
My room’s suddenly got very dusty 😭😭😭
Powerful video with a powerful message.
Thank you for advocating for mental health 🥰
Shaun you drawn me in and I hope you make something positive out of your life, you seem a down to earth likeable guy best wishes for the future and I look forward to seeing/hearing more of you. You have a fan ✌️👍
Rip to mr goodrich, wht a fantastic human being, so sad he couldnt reach out for the same help he gave others 😥
I watched shaun on another channel a while ago his story is heartbreaking, listened to his story again here and still has the same effect , wishing you all the happiness in the world shaun your such a nice bloke.... Sam i love your channel no bullshit all real keep it up fella.
he is
I've watched 100s of podcasts through the years but this is the one that broke me, I was in tears when Shaun got emotional about listening to that song and then howling at the ponytail incident. I find shaun very engaging and a humble man, hats off to you to Sam for helping him out. I can't believe I've just watched 3 hours of this podcast when normally I wouldn't watch a podcast for more than 20 minutes. Can't wait for the 3rd one. @life on the outside I wish you all the best mate, your an inspiration!
Wow that's shocking how this man was treated, full respect for his honesty and humility, that must have been very hard telling that story, good luck Shaun, great videos Sam
Sam you have opened up a channel for genuinely lovely and normal people to be open and honest about their lives - helps people to see how close everyone is to being in that situation. You are sooo understanding x
Shaun you are an inspiration bro, overcome things nobody should have to experience, and still come out the other side wanting to help others, a true gentleman and I wish you every success mate you deserve it!
Yet again what a story,and a bloody good memory you have Shaun to recall everything you have been through,this needs to be published into a book.cant wait to be continued xxx
Well done Shaun, chin up and best foot forward mate. You are doing a great job.
Sam, superb as ever always honest and straightforward. The reason there are no trolls is because of the integrity of your content.
I have got to add I looked up Mr Paul Goodridge just to put a face to the name. Straight away a glowing review of his character. Winning awards for his handling of his staff and people in his care. Your part of his legacy Shaun keep up the positive attitude bro
Thanks for sharing your story Shaun, not an easy thing to do but I can see how good it is for you to let it out. I couldn’t stop watching. Brill.
Morning Sam morning Shaun I'm walking along the beach listening to this and I think that Shaun is an amazing human being who has come through a horrendous life and I wish him all best in his life going forward 💚☘
@life on the outside wish u all the best for ya future going forward 👍👍
Another brilliant podcast mr Samworth please keep them coming
, such a sad story but one thing it’s nice to see Shaun smiling
Brilliant Shaun wares his heart on his sleeve no messing about honest and sincere brilliant interview
Shaun has got a real talent to be able to tell his story. Thank you both for these videos.
Anyone else welling up all the way through this podcast
Thank you so much Sam for the video. Hand on heart, it is a honour to listen to Shaun relaying his lifes journey. I am brought to tears, hearing his story.This is a man who deserves to go from strength to strength. People come into our lives for a reason, he is fortunate to have you as a mate. Your one in a million, keep safe, take care, I'llsithee!
Thank you to Shaun for sharing his story. Makes you think and glad he’s on the right track - good lad.
Mr Goodrich what a guy hope his family can find just a small bit of peace knowing how much of a gentleman he was
Thankyou shaun so much for sharing your journey. Im a student nurse and this has really helped my understanding of mental health and the underlying reasons why people behave the way they do. Thankyou for your insight.
This was tough to watch because of how emotional you got but i am happy to know that you have got though that dark place please stay safe and take care.
Poor lad. I really hope he gets the help he needs. Definitely the best Chanel on UA-cam.
The realest no bullshit channel on youtube roller-coaster of emotions every time I watch great job Sam 2 good men
I loved the first 1 Guys! 👍🤗 I think he has come leaps and bounds! Shaun you really are helping people out there and that is so lovely of you! 🥰 heart of gold! I’m only 1:36 mins in to this podcast by the way! 😁 I can’t wait to watch it now!🥰😁
Tip my hat Shaun. You have come so far . Alot of people live with ‘a dark passenger’ lets say but your positive strength is AMAZING my friend 🙏🏼
I love Shauns honesty and thank god for people like you sam , best of luck to the both of you
Yes my Saturday morning sorted Shaun is a diamond 💎
@life on the outside Shaun one quality that you have is when you meet someone it's like they would feel like they have known you for year's. I'm 4 months clean off the gear and stone. The biggest thing I've learned is Radical Acceptance you might not agree with it but you have to accept it. It took me 19 years to accept my brother's death and only now and staying substance free can I get on with my life. Big hugs Shaun from Scott.
@@scottsaul3260 good luck bud
Shaun you are so so brave and it’s so easy to see what a huge heart you have, I wish you all the best and nothing but goodness for the rest of your life. Sam keep up the good work absolutely love this channel xxx
Well done Shaun and Sam. Brought back a lot of memories.
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s wonderful that people who are affected by childhood trauma , who become addicts , who have been swimming about alone in this huge friendless world . Thank you Sam for giving us this platform to connect to others who have been through similar things , it connects us all.
I started watching this by chance as my partner follows your podcasts & I've got to say Shaun's story is in one way so sad because his life only went a certain way thru circumstances & things that happened to him as a child. The decisions he then made growing up were fuelled by anger so there was no doubt his life went the way it did. However on the other hand it shows what a strong, honest man he is and that he is so intelligent! I mean that as it takes a clever person to understand their emotions and realise how important mental health actually is. Not to mention how brave u have to be to talk so open and honestly to others! To hear what Shaun has been thru & then hear him talk how he is now is so encouraging to others. Drugs are perfect to remove how u feel but it's still there at the end! To talk it out & make sense of trauma is the only way to move forward and Shaun has proven that if he can do it, then anyone can. Thanks for such an honest and real story Shaun & I sincerely wish you all the very best for ur future. Lisa H x
Well said Lisa. Drugs and alcohol are only ever a temporary release from pain, and in the long run they make you even worse. It’s a vicious cycle.
What another fantastic video. Tears, bit of laughter, respect & admiration for sam & shaun, the vid had it all. So many emotions, thanks again guys, for getting real lives out there regarding mental health, prison n beyond. Top notch x
I'm already looking forward to part 3 - very honest and disturbing videos, thanks for sharing your story Shaun. When I was in Strangeways the mental health team weren't great, the head of the team would lie in my reviews that she had seen me, when I was telling them I wasnt being seen. When I told them she was lying they just brushed over it. When I did get to see somebody it was myself and another prisoner, a therapist and a pot of tea - or jug I should say. We would just talk about whatever, nothing deep and meaningful because it wasnt a private environment. The taxpayer will delighted to know what their taxes are being spent on!
Probably my favourite guest you’ve had sam he’s a great lad
Love how polite Shaun is
Seems like a nice man
Definatly a nice guy, big hearted man, I wish you the best Shaun x
I've never been to prison but I find this channel fascinating. Love the videos Sam, and Shaun's story is very interesting
The worst thing is going to sleep hungry. Obviously the boredom is massive but the urban myths of sexual assault are just that, urban myths! You can find trouble easy enough but if you get your head down you'll be left alone.
Real touch of class at 54mins. Shows why your so well respected and why you are the ideal candidate for future prison officers to strive to be like. Real touch of class, humanity. I wish you both peace ✌
An absolutely amazing story! Write a book, it will be turned into a hit movie in no time! I wish you all the very best for the future.
Thank you for speaking so honestly a lot of what you were talking about I can relate. I think you are a credit to yourself to have come through the other side. Keep strong
“How bad is it?” “He’s not getting up” hahaha that had me in stitches!
Who was the gùy that he had killed ?
Sam brilliant prodcast my heart goes out to Shaun I wish I could hug him you are so strong Shaun x
Cheers all the very best!
Wow. Especially that bit at the end. Good luck to you both.
"Ow do"........I've watched this now a second time, cant begin to tell you how powerful this story is, to myself, and I'm sure many others. Fucking first class shaun 👏 Sam, you've certainly found your calling.👏👏 thanks again.......
Shaun where you finished today was on another level.
It’s clear that your mentor Paul saw in you what others are seeing through Sam’s podcasts. But at that time to have lost the one person who showed belief in you; I just can’t imagine your pain.
It’s testament to you as a person, that you are here today. Others may not have been as strong.
Sometimes it’s those who give so much of themselves to others are the very ones who need someone to reach out to them.
Like you say Sam, you never know what that other person is going through.
Thank you for telling your story Shaun, it might just help someone take a different path
Take care x
This was very touching, very emotional moments. It’s great to see two men openly talking about their feelings. These types of conversations need to happen more often between men especially. The suicide rate amongst young men is at its highest. I really do believe this video will break down barriers & stigma... men are allowed to cry & express emotions just as much as women. It really could saves lives. Shaun did a great job in telling his story. I’ve got nothing but respect for him. He’s turned his life around. I will look forward to Shaun’s channel. Ps I’m from North Wales and I don’t hate you! X
Shaun what a story I suffer from metal problems and I would like to thank you for doing this you are a Inspiration sir
Shaun I honestly don't think you realize how funny you are and the best thing is you don't even try to be funny. I wish you all the luck in the world .
Just watched pt1 and pt2 and found your story very interesting and moving.
I'm going to watch the next one now as I am gripped by your story.
And once again Sam you are doing a fantastic job thanks 😊
Shaun you tell your story so well. Great that you are willing to go back to such dark times to help others. Didn't want that video to end..... look forward to the next part. Good luck with the rest of your life
Wow, that’s the best podcast I’ve seen and I’ve been watching lots of them over the past year, it’s also the first time I’ve left a comment. Fair play to you Sam, and Shaun keep going lad, you are a good man.
Thank you so much Shaun from the bottom of my heart. You have shown so much courage. Thank you too Sam for being the gateway and allowing these discussions to become the platform for change and a better opportunity for human understanding. Listening to you both has gone to the core, in a positive way.
Oh wow that was deep, I feel so emotional right now. I am so glad that someone finally listened to you Shaun and gave you a chance. RIP to that decent man🙏👍
Thanks for sharing Shaun , total respect for your honesty and giving people the understanding . All the very best and truly hope you find your peace pal x
I could watch you two talking, sharing your memories and life experiences ALL day long.
Shaun your amazing! after going through all the things that you've had to endure and coming out the other side of it all. Massive respect to you mate!!! 👍
Can't wait for parts 3,4,5,6..........
This kid is proper genuine, thanks Shaun for sharing your story.... Sam keep up with the great videos, brilliant watch lad.....
I can't believe I'm about to communicate with a screw! But your a decent bloke just doing his job to the best of your ability, Sean bruv I can relate to you and your story so much it's unbelievable. When I went to prison smart phones had only just came out . When I got out everyone has got one I'd never heard of UA-cam. This is the first thing I've subscribe to because I thought u had to pay or something. I can't believe this is free as this has helped me so much. I've been struggling recently even contemplating going back inside. so lots of sleepless nights , and listening to your podcasts helps me so much. Listening to Sean reminds me of the knob heads u hsve to deal with (pls don't think I'm calling u z knob head )and the jail mentality you have to have its so hard to adjust wen u get out. I would love to have a chat with u both if possible. Peace love and full respect to u both. Would love to hear from u both all the possible best from bottom of my heart....smithy
Lifeontheoutside@mail.com I can't thank you enough bruv for your reply. I look forward to hearing to your part 3, how you got out, how you adjusted to life and loosing the jail mentality you have to have inside.
I've been struggling recently and started using again , I feel such a failure as I had everything from a good plumbing and heating business, nice house nice vehicle's nice holiday every year ,nice misses and little boy. Then in the space of 5 or 6 days everything just crashed I lost everything and was sleeping in my van till I lost my license. I just felt broken and I didn't give a fuck I just went on a ruthless self-destructive mission, people say and I believe this that prison saved my life. I went over 3 times in a week each time waking up in the same hospital bed and same hospital staff each time. I really don't know what I'm doing at the moment I just can't seem to move forward or focus on any thing? I just don't know what I'm doing and wats the point!
You an inspiration Shawn your helping me believe mate thank you both so much r.i.p Mr goodrich #itsoktotalk have a good weekend 🙏❤️
Total respect for both of these blokes ! Once again your story resonates with me bro . Glad your in a better place now , sounds mad but if you ever needed an ear to listen or help with anything I would help you bro
I've been in that head space at rock bottom where you think you're worthless. We are quick to slate ourselves for our mistakes but seem to forget the good things we do.
Having the courage to go through all those things that you have and help others by telling your story is one of those Amazing things. Thank you Shaun
A story so close to my heart
Fair play to Shaun his story hits close to home it's inspirational to hear what he's got to say so many of us with similar story line and have felt the same thoughts great pod this mate thanks 💯🙏🏻🏴
What a stand up man and Sam what a good podcast
Wow, Well done you should be proud of yourself. I have had similar experiences with mental health team! My Mother was jailed in 2014 for Historical Abuse all types. Then 2016 my daughter Hayley passed away Age 25. I was in a mental health hozzy July August got no help at all. Late August I told the I was fine. Moved to a new house Sept, Oct I was pulled from a bridge, Jan 2019 I jumped. Inn hozzy for 10months. Broken neck,back,pelvis shattered my leg. I am intelligent,articulate but had severe trauma. There is no help. Keep it up brilliant interview Thank you both of you x
Top man . Massive. Respect to both . I struggle with mental health issues but I haven’t been thru half the stuff that he’s been thru but I still struggle every day.. RESPECT ✊
I put things in boxes in my mind , it’s like old style police records in my head . It’s fascinating how backgrounds of childhood trauma tend to do things the same way. Females , like me, self medicate ,, guys seem to commit crime . Life is a great big roller coaster ups and downs , side to side , but we do have periods where life is good. You’re awesome for doing this Sam. Thank you 😊
It's the Real Deal and the real truth that's success no lies good surely Sam and guests keep going
Maybe the most intriguing podcast I’ve heard. Seems like a sound lad, best of luck to him.
A great channel, great host, brilliant total theme, great name to the channel too! Some really eye opening guests, all interesting and humbling to hear their stories and the Journeys they are on.
There's a lot of positivity on here and in the current circumstances it supports many people experiencing such stories, events, comments and care about people throughout. Sad, worrying, concerning, enlightening and rewarding to see some positive changes and outcomes being made. Inspiring really and makes one have gratitude and better understanding.
Thanks Sam and ALL who contribute to making this REAL.
Rally brilliant. I just hope life is settling down now and Shaun gets the best chances in life he deserves a medal. Thankyou shaun. Also to you Sam best wishes jan
Cheers and thanks
Cheers Sam.....and cheers Shaun.....I’m an ex inmate , done around 11 yrs in total behind the big green door....not proud of it , not one bit but I can relate to most of the story told....thanks for sharing your story and your honesty....glad your in a bit better place now Shaun...you’ve had your tough episodes in life , so deserve a break, and some good fortune....take care pal and look after yaself .....health is wealth 💪🏼👍❤️
@life on the outside cheers for the reply bro....iv subscribed to your channel, hopefully you do get it up n running..like Sam mentioned in the vid....once again, take good care and stay safe 👍❤️
@life on the outside fantastic....👌❤️ look forward to watching it Shaun, you should do great with it bro.....take it easy brother 👍❤️
This is like a warm cup of cocoa. Done too much jail hence why I love listening to this. Thanks a lot.
Ow do, just got to last 3 minutes.......didn't see it coming, im in tears...... for you shaun, you Sam, and for Paul and his family. Shaun, you should be proud of who you are and what you've become.......im humbled that you have shared this story with us, your a fucking legend pal......🙏
God bless you both 🤙🏻💯 Miracles happen when people jus sit down n talk. I’m goin thru a lot atm but your work keeps me goin Sam n admire Shaun’s strength props to you both 💪🏻
Great this lads, I'm another Shaun living in Germany. My son has just done two years. Doesn't speak at all about it. Trying to slowly get him to share, it's difficult but listen to yous helps. Take care 😘
@life on the outside thanks Shaun it’s appreciated.keep on poddin.
Wow, what a video. Got to admit, I was really shocked in a couple of parts. Anger and depression can be so corrosive - when you’ve never been listened to, or shown how to handle strong feelings they just fester. Sounds like you’ve found your way through them now Shaun, stay strong ❤️
Best of Luck to you Shaun I really mean that, and how do to you Sam, great channel, these days i've hardly the patience to sit sit through a film but your vlogs have got me riveted .
Thanks 👍
