Thank you
Same here brother absolutely fantastic podcasts really interesting most nights always goes into the early hours watching James interviews really good channel
Gotta agree good in-depth interviews
Brilliant to listen to from start to finnish..
@@JamesEnglish glued know james pal all goog big man
Met Noel while in prison in the 90's @ Highdown. I had never been in trouble before so speaking to him and hearing his stories back then helped me understand the life of crime. I left 9 months later and thanks to Noel's words I never returned to prison or a life of crrime again. I did write a few times, and have a typed short story of his (if he reads this maybe he will remember - "The avenging angels in blue"). Tried to keep a lookout for what he has been upto since he got released and this was a great find. Thx Noel for your words back then.
Good on you mate
Don't talk shit
He a wanker anyway funny how he never a gun
@@OasisWullie1872 shut up
Powerful words Benney.
Thanks for posting
I've watched a lot on Noel and yes he was a bank robber but he seems like a very nice likeable person and I wish him nothing but the best great PODCAST James thanks for this
Thanks
That little dot on the wall behind Noel’s head Keeps on making me think there’s something on my phone xD
I'm wetting me finger cleaning the laptop screen thinking wtf is that haha
Oh shit I was looking for the spot ur on about as I'm trying to rub the spot off,then I realized what u were on about lol
Same!! 🙄🤣😂
Haha same🤣🤣🤣
James is usually spot on how much he lets his guest ramble with minimal interruption. Excellent work!! 👏🏻🏴
This was one of those rare moments "recommended videos" pulls it off!. First class interview. Subbed
Thanks brother and welcome 🙌🏼
I shouldn’t laugh but that table tennis story had me in stitches 😂 top bloke fair play to ya big fella
No bitterness, no anger, seems like a great guy👍 great podcast
Thanks
Yet another fantastic interveiw ! Really enjoyed this one ! Good luck Noel 👍
‘I was willing to admit to starting the second fucking world war ‘ - this had me cracking up
What a gentleman...had a tear in my eye listening to his story .....the system sucks...fair play to you Noel best of luck mate..🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Tom kelly Eire for Eire!!🇮🇪
😊😊
Yeah the System sucks but criminal suck even more
Used to read alot of stuff about this guy when I was in jail yrs ago. Very interesting guy.Shown some strength and willpower to get himself out of prison and do as well as he has! Respect Noel.
The thing I like about interviews like this, is that everyone gets something out of it.
First class. Subscribed
Give a man a gun he can rob a bank, give a man a bank he will rob the world Xx
Lol, ain’t that the truth
So true
The elites have done that for centuries. ...and still are..
There's 2 realities
There's and ours
They have the money which buys anything and everything....
Love from Ireland 🍀
That's a good one :D
I like that😷👍👏👏
Best comment I've ever read about crime and the supposed 'clean' world of banking. Bankers are definitely the biggest robbers out there, they love nothing better than destroying people with poxy credit cards, high interest loans, business loans, mortgages etc. Dozy Muppets like that engineered the last recession and are no doubt licking their skanky lizard like mouths at the global recession this Coronavirus Lockdown has created! Globally businesses will close, people will lose their homes, people will lose their jobs but you can bet the bankers will make a literal killing from all this!
One of the best interviews I've ever seen, hats off to you James and also to Mr Smith.
Loved that interview James. I hadn't heard of him before, but you can tell he is a real one. Nothing seemed exaggerated or gratuitous bravado. What an amazing transformation. Great work. Bless up bro 👊
❤️
You just made my day James. Very pleasantly surprised when I found out who was on. Read Noel’s book ‘ a few kind words and a loaded gun ‘ years ago and it was one that I couldn’t put down. It’s good to know he’s changed it all around and he’s obviously on good form. Excellent interview James. I agree one of the best shows you’ve done. Massive thanks pal.
My favourite true crime book is " a few kind words and a loaded gun", none of the usual super gangster bullshit. Great interview.
Best interview I’ve seen brutally honest fella
Cheers brother
Unbelievable what a life ,the strength of this man in mind and body is unparalleled
After all his been through his still so sharp
Given a standing start in life with the privileged this man would run rings around them.
God Bless
Yeah, sociopaths tend to die out strong.
Steven Goldman do you know the man personally
As he made my first adult sentence liveable
Steven Goldman yes!
Great interview. I read Noel's first book about 10 years ago and wondered what had happened to him. I'm glad to hear he is out and doing well. Greetings from Joburg!
I first read Noel's book (a few kind words and a loaded gun) back in about 2005 when it came out. Even then, I thought... what an incredible story. Even more, what an incredible story TELLER. To think that he would become a successful author and celebrated writer, is inspiring. The book is absolutely amazing.
Been wanting to see Noel interviewed for years. Read his books a few years back. What a story both funny and tragic at the same time. Huge respect for ya Noel been through the system and all it has thrown at ya. Great to see and hear you recounting the stories I've read in the books and to see your out enjoying ya life, power to you pal.
Thankyou for getting this interview done and posting on your channel James. Brilliant stuff 👍👍
Good old South London boy right there. Great interview James
Graham Jonathan thanks graham
My heart went out to him @1:21:44. R I P his son .
Another amazing guest James .
Thanks d x
A brilliant 2 hours ..watched it 3 times over 6 months .. quality .
Just lying down listening to your story. It's easy to look down at criminals and prisoners but you make it really clear that it could happen to anyone... but for the grace of god that could have been me!!! Thanks for teaching me a valuable lesson!!! All the best to you sir!!!
How he a criminal you won't happen if you don't cause trouble
Firstly Congratulations on reaching 30K Subscribers i have been spreading the word for a long time and hope this channel keeps going from strength to strength, this Podcast was first class and Noels journey and the way he has turned his life around gives hope to anyone that you can do it no matter how bad your situation.
Emotional. Had a tear or two drop for him. You really know how to interview James, great summaries, great questions, manners, humour but most of all respect and highlighting achievements. Superb!
I’m so glad you made this interview I did suggest it a few months back.. brilliant mate .. spot on
With a name like that i'd imagine you've done a few heists.
One or two
Best pod cast I’ve seen never so shocked and laughed so much with his accounts of his life
Definitely agree, Noel was one of your best Podcasts, from the start to the finish, really interesting.
Sadly this Mans story is repeated all over the world, mostly in working class areas.
Upper class just rob everyone & get away with is, as they are BANKERS ...... W ⚓️ in my opinion.
@@DMWBN3 Agreed, the upper class are the biggest robbers of all. Look at the royal family for example, robbed the public of around £60 - £100 MILLION PER YEAR of taxpayers hard earned money. And all they do is parade around doing nothing but living their privileged lives while acting holier than thou. They should lock up the royal family and throw away the key. Put the queen in solitary confinement for the rest of her days.
You're misunderstanding me, I was not having a go at the working class, I'm working class myself. I was simply saying these things happen mostly in poor working class areas where there are no real opportunities for people to better themselves.
@@highflyguy1 Thick as shit they couldn't grasp what you meant which was clearly obvious. I agree. Poverty breeds crime and the cycle goes on until Jesus is fucking found.
That mark
On the wall behind noel
Had me cleaning my screen a couple times... good story teller 👍🏼
bought his book about 10 years ago from tesco. fucking good read and good insight. a few kind words and a loaded gun.
A well written book have read it 3 times. Andy England
Good read, this is the first I’ve seen or heard of him since reading his book, wish him all the best.
@@andrewdaley3081 really 3X?
@@soulsis6562 yes really three times. 🇬🇧👍
Great interview, comes across as a bloke you could sit down have a pint and a good laugh with. Hope life keeps treating him well these days because he deserves it 👍 would like to see you interview the boxer Scott Harrison.
Being stuck inside and getting that bad news must have been horrendous! I’m so glad u turned a traumatic experience into something positive.
Was away with Razor in 97, he's a very nice man who you can have a laugh with....
The very highest respect to this man for changing things around what a story amazing, the naked truth unvarnished
Great interview. I wish Noel and the best for the future. Shows you that you can still turn your life around. A really fascinating story. Could not stop watching the interview. What a life.
What an interview.Great story teller could listen to this guys story's all day.Another belter James
An amazing story, very moving and also inspiring to hear such a heroic tale of redemption
If we could get Noel and Joey Diaz to do a podcast that would be perfect.
Joey would snort him without realising.
He'd never understand him
chin chilln Diaz is a proffesional bull shitter , he just sits there and makes stuff up
Fuck Joey Diaz
housecarl6 u talk so much shit hahah
Absolutely by far the best life story in the series. Great character. Good on you Noel.
👍🏼
what a life story, iv watched a alot of these interviews that james does from characters iv followed for years but this ones got to be the best and iv never even heard of this guy.
This is my favourite one yet.... No bullshit from Noel just matter of fact telling it like it is. Brilliant story
Love the fact I discovered this channel by complete accident.
Would love to see more football related ones but they are all brilliant. I loved the Andy Goram one
Road Warrior thank you
check out Open Goal with Si Ferry.
Has he ever interviewed any former football hooligans?
@@j-boogiebrown9961 if you search in mate he's done one with Jason marriner I think it was football hooligan
Up the Irish ❤🇮🇪❤
Great Interview lads
👍🏼🙌🏼
A pleasure to know Noel, and to witness the hard work he put into his personal change. A powerful portayal of one man's motivation to succeed outside of criminal activity.
great interweiw james
fair play to noel !! in those days you had to do what you did
we had loads of good lads from ireland in birmingham who i grew up with and we all got on sound
all the best noel im one of the ones what got away !!
yes noel the old bill use to love to dish it out as we all remember son !!!!
warm regards jamesey
Loved every minute of this interview. Seems like a really nice fella wish him all the best for the rest of his life 👍🏻
This was a great episode James . Noel is a legend could listen to his aul yarns all day long . ✌️✌️
A few kind words and a loaded gun,, absolutley fabulous autobiography by razor!!
A belter of a listen James deffo one of the top podcasts you have done .
Phenomenal interview..
I have yet to be disappointed with this podcast.. cheers m8..
I have been to all the Jails he speaks of but 10 years later, brings back all the memories of the Borstal days.
Fantastic interview, easy listening, It is great to see a man turn his life around!
Thanks 👍🏼
Could listen to this guy for hours. Really interesting, great interview.
Read his book 10 year ago in Polmont it’s called ‘A few kind words and a loaded gun’ great book it is 👏
I read Noel’s book around 20 years ago, it was a great read and one of the first books I finished in a week. it’s good to hear him speak all these years later.
Absolutely magnificent Interview...The funny stories had me in stitches, but hearing about his son dying hit me so hard, just that pause Noel did, u can feel all the emotions flooding back to him....Hope he is Living a great life and is in good health....He's a proper Geeza, I'd listen to him all day and learn from him😊
It's so sad and ironic that police harassment was the reason he got turned into a criminal. Good for Noel turning his life around!
👍🏼
Incredible podcast again!! Deffo one of the best so far, gonna need a part 2 i say 👀
Best podcast yet! Top fella very inspirational!
Looking forward to part 2, can't help but be impressed by the resilience of Noel after a system that failed from day one, another top podcast James 👍
Thomas Hand cheers mate
Awesome,couldn't stop listening to Noel's story.
Thanks Noel.
Thanks James.
What a bloke. Can't believe I've only just found this podcast. I read Noels first book years ago and loved it. Noel is a fucking hero. Not from what he used to be, but due to the turn around. He showed change can happen. When you're an alcoholic and at you're lowest, hearing stories like Noels and his transformation is so reassuring. Let's face it, Noel was just an addict too, his drug of choice being the buzz from his crimes. What's mad for me is that my life turned around when I started writing. Basically mirroring Noels own life. So, through all your victims Noel, consider this life one you helped get back on track. For that sir, I am forever grateful. Best wishes mate. And thank you James for this, loved every second!
Razor smith is one of the most intelligent prisoners ever and he done loads of jail for things he didn’t do //
Becomes a notorious bank robbers ever,,
Good podcast James I really enjoyed it
Noel has completely distorted my idea of what a psychopath is meant be. He comes across as a really nice guy.
I am addicted to your podcasts - amazing
Thanks Craig 👍🏼
I am completely hooked on these podcasts! Gone from Marvin Herbert part2 to Yammy B to here....great stuff!
👍🏼
Very good. You could listen to this man all day.
What a joy amazing captivating pod cast! Does he have an autobiography?
Razor smith is a Really nice fella and what a story he had to tell,,
I’ve watched loads of podcasts and this one stands out from the rest,,
Could listen to him for days because he blew my mind when telling his life story and he is a very clever man
FairPlay to you James as usual man ,,
Hope this guy does more podcasts
Sad to hear about his son at
19, years old that’s when he knew he had to stop robbing banks etc etc
God bless you Razor smith best of luck to you and your family,,
Best podcast I’ve listened to Noel’s story is very interesting. He should definitely bring a film out about he’s life
This was brilliant i found him so calm and relaxed another fantastic podcast razor
Great podcast! Noel is a brilliant story teller. Happy he has turned his life around.
Thank you
he was robbing them banks as if he was just going to Greggs for a sausage roll lol thought u were ready to get ofski James when he mentioned certified Psychopath lol great interview as per :)
I normally struggle to pay attention to films shorter than this! what an interesting guy, the time flew by!
👍🏼
The LARGACTIL shuffle! 🕺....my Lord its years since ive heard about Largactil.
James English thanks for an amazing interview and Respect to both men
Thanks brother
Fascinating life story - I'm shocked & disgusted to live in a society where the authorities behave like he explained they should all be prosecuted IMO!
Most of the police and PO’s would be dead by now get a grip
I spoke to Noel a couple of months ago in a fone conversation,about writing an article for the newspaper INSIDE TIMES,and I'm thinking he is probably some guy who has done a few sentences in the past and managed to get himself a job working with a newspaper! Did nt have a clue about his past- until I watched this documentary! What a character, and lovely guy,a genuine guy who somehow managed to turn his life around and offer so much to help other's who could quite easily followed his footsteps. His hurt and remorse for his wastfull life,the loss of his son while rotting within a jail in a bare existence that has no compassion, no humanity, no rehabilitation; a system geared only to break the spirit in a world of witless persecution. Came across a right genuine guy with so much to offer and came out the other end of the prison system...not as a psychopath,not as a robber nor a villain,but a man who got an opportunity and embraced it. Total respect to you Noel for all the right reasons.
Johnny Steele.
32 years in prison. You still don't seem to have a clue about his past.
I have to say. This may just be one of the best interviews I’ve ever witnessed. And I’ve witnessed many. An avid interview fan lol. This guy can tell a story alright. He’s quick, concise , to the point and unintentionally hilarious. I was also cracking up so don’t feel bad James. Also, you barely interrupt him and let him tell these magnificent stories from other times.
I’ll say again. This guy can seriously tell a story very well. He could do audio books.
Thanksb
This is incredible. The best watch on UA-cam. Love this podcasts. Helps me mentally
👍🏼
When he said "and I'm a taig" I laughed like fuck . Nice interview.
Best podcast yet James. Class mate what a story 👍
Noel is a fantastic role model. He seems like a really great guy, really genuine and authentic. I read his first book, I enjoyed it a lot.
respect to Noel last of the real hard counter jumpers before the drugs ruined everything. ✊
Up the Dub’s - Fighting Irish ☘️ nice guy great story all the best people come from Dublin 🇮🇪
Only go to listen to this one now. It’s brilliant. The dude is a good storyteller. Funny, enjoyable. Makes my life seem boring 😃
the human spirit is so resiliant and tough.you made good in the end.hats off to you noel.great interview.what bastards authority was in the 70,s.
I could listen to him all day what a man good interview 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 roll on 5pm
Great interview James and Noel. Laughed a lot during this :)
Thanks mate
The best podcast yet
👍🏼
He's no hero but A Few Kind Words and a Loaded Gun, which I read years ago, is by far the best 'villain' autobiography out there and Noel seems the least narcissistic and the most likeable of these old gangland types. Good interview. I'm surprised he's out. Good luck to him.
One of the best interviews from both parties.
Cracking podcast James. I agree with your comments. 1 of the best interviews I have seen you do. Had me glued for the full 2 hours. Well done James and well done Noel. Am going to have a look for his books now. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is one of the best podcasts I've seen in a long time
👍🏼
this was so much more than I expected, It was a compelling story of the extremes of society..
fascinating better than almost anything I have ever seen on mainstream tv.
