Every boarding school and child care centre talked about in Britain has testimony of violent bullying and child sex abuse, every school every orphanage every state social services child care scheme had predatory child sex abuse , not just this podcast it’s all the podcast channels,it’s shocking how bad the entire education and child care system is, 100’s and 100’s of victims, a tragedy. So many interviews have the same story. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Probably why so many of those elite types are nonces and creeps. They go through it themselves as kids and they continue the cycle themselves once they get a crumb of power.
And it still continues. The number of teachers, carers, etc that get caught with images or commit acts and so on in today's world is insane. We have systems in place to protect children, and they still get through. What makes my piss boil is the sentences these judges give out. We all know why they're so low and we've known for years, but things like Epsteins' little booky wooky almost prove that they're setting the bar low, just in case.
@@vincentberkhout3713 until we get better at childcare we are futureless, a secure future involves happy children not abused children, better law and order for justice or it’s more of the same sadly ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Unfortunately, there is no incentive to sort it out. All them victims, all the therapy, etc etc. It's all money in somebody's pocket
@@vincentberkhout3713look
Not blowing smoke up your a*** here Dodge, but 2 seriously respectable, articulate, patent and very clever individuals. Having a chat is just great and privileged viewing.
Loved it.
Really like him. I love how Dodge is actively listening. Not many do. Loving the channel growth well done
Agreed much better than Mr English, who waffles and makes it all about himself
Nice one Sean ⭐️

Another great listen, fast became my favourite podcaster Dodge. Vinnie would be a fun one.
Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼
New to the channel Dodge, these are great stories, as an East London boy from the 80's ive heard alot of these stories Cor ..i used to go to the Rex when i was clearly too young to get in 😅. After that bouncers shooting at a beenie man concert, it went downhill, especially when a few "patrons" were smoking bones in the club. Good memories though.
Great thar thanks u
brilliant interview..worked in clubs for yrs how long did purple run for?my neighbour played for chelsea back in the 80s need to ask him about it
I stumbled across Dodge & this podcast about a year ago.
Being a Dad of 2 boys, every week I fold & put away the families clothes on the weekend. (Real hardcore lol) but this podcast makes the weekly task super fun!
Its my secret winning formula for ANY domestic tasks around the house!
Brilliant work Dodge 👏
Love this channel
Brilliant 😂
Love the dark horses stuff Dodge this fella is a very clever guy 👍
I did that same route along Crib Goch a few years ago and he’s not lying, it’s scary! One slip and you’re gone!
Wow what an interesting guy and dodge is the best interviewer on here by a mile
Hi Dodge. I knew James from the Boxing. He was exactly as you said, a really lovely man. The nightclub was called Chateau.
7s festival was absolutely quality dodge! 🎪
Dodge you're almost gonna pop them buttons off that shirt 👕
😂
Haha good old Newlands, wild, can't believe it, for those who know Balfour house ;)
It's all new houses now few hundred. Balfor was for the small pre prep kids wasn't it?
@@TheSkunkfiend Roger that, did pre prep at Balfour full time and newlands manor till the end of GCSE and ended up promoting nights at Turnmills and DJing around the east end shortly after... The podcast resonated and stirred up some funky memories.
I don't think Dodge could do a bad interview if i’m honest
Great memories. I did CP & security work for celebs throughout UK. I remember the times of China whites, brilliant times. Kids today have no idea!
Good inside chat
Yes it's Wednesday you never have bad guest's dodge
I used to go to primary school with Mark Cueto, who scored what might have been the winning try against South Africa in the world cup final- if it had not got disallowed!
i kept away from night clubs unless i went with my own firm.
and i chilled more in just small gatherings.
So?
I always enjoy the characters, but it's nice seeing someone straight on here. Best podcast around.
Seeing Dodge's style of listening has genuinely helped me in my life. Copied his style to an extent and just signed a contract paying 30k more than usual. Doubt I'd have got there without this influence.
In glad I could have helped and that’s just made my day 💰😊
I did community service with Vinny, it was Hemel at the furniture project, ask him
Flyers,i had a bedroom full of flyers from 88,91,2,3maybe . Moved house and put theme into a big bag. Which is right next to me,would you be interested???
🙌🏻
Top guy he's the real deal
Dodge did you used to work in KT4 by any chance? Around 2002ish?
No mate not me 😊
i dont go to night clubs
i did once or twice in my uni days but its not my style
i prefer low key gatherings.
I Remember seeing Prince William in a Perfecto Stussy T-shirt, on TV and I got one with the tag on in in mint condition
Sure Dodge could tell a few good stories! 😇
I know this will be a laugh
I’m loving Lawrence charity how do I get involved Dodge I was one of those kids I love to help
I’m 56 now dodge so been part of the club scene for over 35 years was part of the early acid house scene back in the 87/88/89 🩵👊
Unfortunately the club scene died Dodge for once it became about celebrities and image back in our day it was all about the
MUSIC 🎧 that was it Dodge simple
Johnny from London ✌️🩵
I hear you mate 👍🏼👍🏼
@@DodgeWoodall ✌️🩵👍
This man strikes me as a chancery with a good talking voice
You should interview Edward davenport, did you ever come across him in your club days..
No not heard of him. Whats he do? 🕺🏻
@@DodgeWoodall started the gate crasher parties in the 80s .. involved with the elites before going down for fraud lol.. think vice did a documentary “ englands lord of fraud “ or something he’s still on the scene so bet he’s got some mad stories lol. Great episode btw mate
He started the gatecrasher balls in the 80s . Was heavily involved with the elites and parties in the west end. Vice did a documentary on him but would be mad stories I bet. Great episode btw
@@panchh9228Sounds great. You got a contact for him?👌🏼
Now I know where I knew you from .. Liquid Wandsworth.. how lively was Wandsworth once!! good days … Litten tree Theatre and UK as well as
Liquid Wandsworth 1999- 2003
Good times 👍🏼👍🏼

What happend to Trap night club
10 rooms wednesday and pangea even auroa .. these were the days
But this fella is amazing buissness man 👍
From a top old school gangsta to boy George knock of in a week 😅
This man must know Peter Tong who came from Gravesend. If only people knew what Tong was really like!
What was he really like?
@@maipai4282
A condescending arrogant lairy rude self opinionated pratt!
He owes his career to three people:
Froggy R. I. P
Eddie Gordon
Mr Young
Harry the spoit brats and Di never loved her
Denty 😂👍
The fact he built up all of those tight trusting relationships during the club days with sports personalities to any other reputable big name he had a black book that fitted perfectly into this industry. If Peloton needed an athlete to be on the advert, then he was the perfect guy to make that happen. Very few people have a "Black Book" anymore of relationships they've built up in each job they've worked in. It was more of a term than anything but back then, people did keep things in books.
I suppose Epstein killed off the popularity of owning a black book. 😂
1500 people a week in nightclubs…£10 each? What were these guys doing with £60k cash a month??!!!
Dodge. You two blokes should consider doing something together.
Dodge U every Heard see Oakenfold, U must ave?
punchbowl
I went to school there. Was odd full of weirdos. Here is a story. Was a bit cocky lad myself. First year first term. football lessons. Sweet done decent, didn't want to play for the team. Did many other sports. On way back to change. Changing rooms just by 6th for dossing room. Biggest bloke in school 6,2 + looked like Shadow of gladiator's all of a sudden grabs me by my collar both hands leans over headbutts me 4; times. Then let's me see stars and melt down the wall. Just as he turns and walks of so don't get caught says " I TEACH YOU TO BE HARD.". Hope he had to suffer. I did find scary stories online about that school. I never got any abuse of staff or pupils. Few fights, was bullying. Late 80's -mid 90's. MR WOODs was a Knut. Physics and shit cross country. Always making me empty my pockets in front of everyone. He got bit of karma, 😅
Both nutters. I think being happy in an uncomfortable situation can be seen as quite psychotic... however depends on the situation I guess.
(From a person who works in mental health )
All this £10k for a table isn’t the proper club world dodge that’s what killed the industry I’m still going to clubs mate but it’s gone back underground more mate were it truly belongs badge 🩵✌️
Great listen this one. Just listened to you with James Sinclair Dodge. Brilliant to hear about your life and businesses. The Bournemouth 7’s sounds cracking, did a lot of work in Bournemouth myself for the Local Authority and in Schools. Great place, stayed at the old Chine Hotel near Boscombe pier.

Good man Andy 👍🏼👍🏼
