Whoever posted the comment about your situation being a 'sob story' just illustrates the sheer lack of empathy and compassion that person has. If they had listened to the same interview that I did, they will have heard you describe what happened to you as a young lad, and how it sent you into a spiral of trouble with the police, being locked up and the pain and despair that you found yourself in with mental health issues, drug and alcohol problems. It was like a domino effect that has had long-lasting repercussions. Ignore them - that comment said more about them, than it did about you. Thank you again for your honesty. I wish you well. God bless.
Shaun is a top man, would have him has friend instantly... i know about mental health, and lived with it all my life.. thanks for your videos SAM, top man..
Shaun conducts himself with dignity, honesty and integrity. Children don’t have the emotional tools to deal with traumatic experiences and he never stood a chance. It’s good to see that later in life he’s got himself together. All the best to him👍 Sam you’re a great communicator, perfect for podcasting ! Good on yer both 👍👍👍
Sam , this is the best series you've done. No offence to any other guests but this is by far the best. Shaun , you're a true legend. I honestly can relate to your story. Thank you for your story and help. I'd love to meet you and Sam and offer my help in anyway I can. Best wishes Ade
What a genuine down to earth fella. Such a tough and dark past but this is what real strength and focus looks like 👍🏻well done shaun on continuing to fight you problems head on day after day!
Shaun/Lee/Sam Probation hostel manager here, huge advocate of the messages you are both giving re training staff via real life experience & being mentors for others. Think there is a gap & your inspiring and endearing life experiences being shared in this environment, your podcasts are the perfect messages to give out, any chance we could pair up and consider maybe a one off or regular talk (or podcast even)? Hats off to you all, hope we can work together even if only briefly. Thank you for sharing your stories, learnt a lot also. All the best.
My heart goes out to you both, I've never been as moved by a podcast as these videos with Shaun. The humanity shown in them - after all the pain, tragedy, mistakes and recovery - is a lesson to us all, so thank you Sam and Shaun, i've got nothing but admiration for you both. Stay strong
Shaun - you should be so proud of yourself! When you have a bad day you should look back on these podcasts and see how far you’ve come. Good luck for the future!
Thank you both. I don't feel so alone anymore. I have spent my life feeling worthless, no self esteem, and on a destructive path. I have about 2-3 friends and a dog. But after watching and listening to your story, Shaun, I feel like I can keep going. If you can do it I'm sure I can too. You are an inspiration. I hope you bring out a book soon, I will buy it. There are so many lovely people on this channel, I would never have opened up about my problems, without listening to Shaun and realising I'm not the only person to feel this way. Lots of love to you both and your families. x
@@michelle88960 I can relate alot to the same issues Michelle love it's a dark place to be , some of us are just born feeling different and born with these problems I feel that's the case anyway and circumstances can then also enhance these difficult problems and emotions but mental health doesn't discriminate I hope you are feeling a bit better in yourself these days darling just think you are worth it 🤗💙
The last part of this guys heartbreaking story. I'm tough as old boots but never on social media or similar have my eyes filled up listening to this guys life story, well, just the early bad part! I have heard some horror stories...I'm a scaffolder we are a crazy bunch.....but this guy really moved me. Good luck for the future Shaun stay strong and positive.
Another lovely guy who tells his story really well! I’m sorry such an awful thing changed the course of your life, Shaun, but I think its inspirational how you have gone on your journey and become the person you are today! If mental health were a person I’d flatten it!! I’m very lucky, I have never struggled but I have some very close people who do and I personally think there is nothing braver and stronger than fighting against your own brain every day and being the victor! So glad things are looking up now, all the best chuck, stay safe 🖤 x
Shaun is so spot on. Ive watched all 3 episodes and all 3 have been fantastic and so honest and heart felt. My Mrs watched the first one and said oh sob story, I strongly disagreed and watched the other 2 on my own. Big well done Shaun, not many men could handle what you've been through and come out a stronger person for it. I have a lot of respect for you fella. Take care.
Shaun you are an absolute diamond never seen such s gentle side to a wild animal when cornered hopefully you have found some everlasting love and can give you what you deserve you are awesome XX
This was emotional! Im a big supporter of sam, n of all the guests , but shaun n sam today touched my heart more than usual. Shauns honesty, humility n just pure strength after all he has been to now come out the outside, working to be the best person he can be- my respect for him Has just gone through the roof! Cant wait to see shauns channel going forward in the future. Sam u yourself are just fantastic at this, asking the right questions, with empathy care & heart. Thank you both so much for these podcasts, youve helped n educated so many of us. Cheers guys x
Watched the 3 episodes. That was a real rollercoaster of emotions. Started thinking this lads had a proper rough time in his childhood, not what any kid should have to experience, then on to thinking he is one nasty bastard and glad I've never been on the recieving end but totally get what took him there. Then the last episode is just powerful. Glad you're on your way out the other side Shaun, you are a top lad , keep doing what you're doing and best of luck to you. Proper genuine lad
Absolute cracking 3 part interview with Shaun What this chap has gone through is mind blowing Good luck with your future hope all goes well Well done Sam cracking watch /listen keep it up
Been watching since the Attwood interview and I've gotta say. Sam keeps going up in my estimation. Seems like a real decent bloke that's got time for people and doesn't take shit. Not many left these days and I wish him nothing but the best.
I'm same mate, Sam doing brilliant, the channel should have much more subs and views than it gets. People don't know what missing out on, really interesting interviews...... keep it up Sam 👍🏻
What an absolutely inspirational man you are Shaun & how you have transformed your life against all the setbacks, you have pure grit & determination. I wish you the very best in life & it was lovely to see that twinkle in your eye when you spoke of your Mrs & your boy. Also Sam you are a true gent & we all need a "Sam" in our life to be made to feel important or recognise that hidden talent stuffed right down inside of us. I really hope you both get the recognition & platform to get your messages out there because your exactly what our crazy society are lacking, I will be singing your names from the rooftops to spread the word. Best of luck for the future guys xx
Huge love to you both. What a true inspiration you are Shaun. You have faced your issues head on with dignity, compassion and understanding. I wish you all the best for the future ❤️
Shaun I will give you my opinion like I previously have. You’re a genuine, sincere guy who has had a deeply troubled past. I hope you get on with your life and most importantly be happy. I’d happily buy you a pint of fizzy drink if we ever meet 👊🏻 Stay strong and don’t listen to these ignorant, immature muppets who are quick to run someone down.
Thank you Shaun for showing us the insights of what as happened in your life I wish you all the best and keep up the great work that you have done since you came out #RESPECT and thank you Mr Samworth for bringing us this great channel and videos.
Shaun I wish you the very very best in life, whoever it was who commented “ sob story “ I can only say they are negative, cruel & have no empathy or understanding of other peoples feelings or situations,, I think your extremely brave & im looking forward to your channel beginning,,, 💕💕💕
What a amazing inspirational man! I could watch him all day I'm literally glued to the screen. In my opinion the sky is the limit for this guy a proper man! Good luck mate...
Shaun your a top bloke I've learnt alot from watching your podcasts . I was in prison for over 20 years thank you so much for helping me. And your a top bloke as well Sam thanks for the amazing videos
"Ow do".........I've commented on first two episode's, not much more I can say, except..........shaun, you are a truly remarkable chap, ive learned things, ive realised things, although difficult at times, ive hung on every word......there is no words to express my admiration and respect for you, and I wish you every success in the future, I feel like I've met you, and would truly be proud to call you my friend. Thanks again big man 🙏
I’ve got a lot of time for Shaun. He is ‘now’ a good lad. After watching him talk for a few hours I can see he is giving his all to his life, much respect!! Sam, great work mate, keep it up, love the content.
Shaun I've watched all three parts of your story. It was like a book I didn't want to put down, some funny tales, sad parts , it had everything. Your the kind of guy id have as a pal, you'd be great company as you have the gift of being able to talk well. 👍👍
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 still not enough thumbs up for these guys xxx I worked in A&E as a HCA, and mental health is NOT taken seriously enough. I have had bigger men than Sam there, collapse crying literally on me because I showed them empathy and love. No one knows what somebody else’s background is or what they are going through!!! Take time with them and let them know they can trust you enough to open up, send them love even if you just ask them how they are or ask them if they need a hug. Just one comment can save someone ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@RealPorridgePodcast I hope you don't mind my short story explaining a really difficult time that a really great officer helped me through, probably a lot of spelling mistakes but I tried to give credit where due , cheers
Just finished binge watching all your vids, and I’m blown away. Gail and Shaun’s story in particular. Keep up the good work Mr Samworth, they are helping me put my own troubles in perspective. It’s reassuring to know there are still people out there who give a shit.
I have watched hundreds of Shaun Attwood vids and the Scottish bloke (boring bloke can't remember his name) but this story has rocked me and this has been the most real and honest story ive ever heard. Videos like this is what independent video is all about. Real stories from real people, uncensored. I feel so sorry for shaun and what he went through, really appreciated his honesty from episode 1 and what he went through and was genuinely shocked at some parts, getting shanks ordered will stay with me forever. Samworth as well - you can tell he knows how to listen properly, Shaun Attwood for example is shocking at this (any excuse to say "it was kill on-site for them when I was inside" is a good example) im going to subscribe now and watch all the other videos....this story has really amazed me thanks you Shaun, the courage to tell us his story will educate thousands and will help countless. bravo.sam keep up the good work and continue to just let your guests do the talking
It's been a pleasure listening to your rollercoaster of a story mate, I wish you nothing but good things for the future....Stay up brother !!!! Props to Mr. Sam yet again.
I’ve not commented on any of the previous vlogs you’ve posted Sam... didn’t feel I needed to as I have nothing to say that hasn’t been mirrored several times by all the others... and still dont... I’ve looked Forward to hearing the next chapter of Shaun’s story, and I can’t wait to read his book if he gets there or listen his podcast... if anyone of your videos discourages 1 young person or adult not to commit a crime that will end them up In the prison system then you have both done the best thing. About to move onto the next part of ‘bent screws story’ Well done to you all and keep up the good work... you are all amazing xxx
Tears been streaming down my face listening to all 3 parts of this podcast , sam keep doing what your doing your giving these guys a platform to tell there stories . I really wish shaun and his family all the very best for the future keep doing what your doing big man and good times will follow . Thanku for sharing your story with us 👍
Sam. Shaun. The best podcast yet. Seems like a top lad, I’d shake his hand in the street as these talks will have helped more people than he can ever imagine. Please keep us updated on Shaun’s progress, I hope he is settled in a job and lodgings👍
You should be so proud of yourself for opening up and speaking to Sam about your life such a legend as always Sam keep doing what you doing pal and #howdo
Certainly NO SOB STORY!!! Please just throw it away!!! Shaun you've done amazing!! Thankyou Sam, fir doing this...ps I could see HOW HARD YOU WERE TRYING not to interrupt😁😁
The prison service could learn so much from both of you; input in the training would be invaluable. Someone like Shaun would make a great contribution to prison reform. Don’t waste your life experience as hard as it’s been. You could really make a difference. Be that person you would have needed. x Sam another great interview! Thank you.
Enjoyed listening to Shaun’s story and I wish him all the best in life and hope he can move forward and have a positive life...it’s inspiring hearing Shaun be so positive and understanding about mental health and life after everything he’s been thru in his own life...I struggle with certain things myself and often feel like nobody really understands...it does help hearing people like urself Neil and Shaun have an understanding about mental health...keep up with the quality content wishing u both all the best
How do I don't normally comment on anything on youtube I dont do any social media but this podcast was amazing. Shawn you should be a public speaker you'd be ace at it. Got diagnosed in last 2 years with aspergers & adhd at 50 yrs old. The amount of people who I thought were friends who have walked away from me because of mental health stigma is ridiculous. I'm quite a straight talking person & I refuse to keep quiet about my mental health because it's not talked about anywhere near enough. Keep up the good work Sam its helping me loads.
Hey James. So sorry to near what's happened with your so called friends. I find myself in a situation where, following my most recent stroke, there are no physical signs, but it's affected my left frontal lobe which has left me highly emotional, easily overwhelmed and with no filter, so whatever pops into my head just comes out verbally. After warning them of this unseen disability my few good friends of 40+ years have stuck with me. It's been hard to adjust to this new me, but I simply try and view it in as much as I can at least still walk and talk. I hope you have some true and good friends that have stuck by you, if not I sincerely wish you find friends who are worthy of having g you as a friend. Take care and look after yourself 🙂
Forgot to say, totally agree with your comment that Sean should speak publicly, he is brilliant with his insight and I wish him all the very best. Like you, I don't do and never have done social media as I think it has the potential to cause harm to vulnerable people.
@@jaytucker8834 hey Jay, sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you feel better soon. I have some close friends maybe about 7, apart from that even my family have turned their back on me. I dont receive any treatment for my conditions. My therapy is playing music & writing original songs, I'm getting quite good at it all & will be playing gigs as soon as its possible. I spend a lot of time alone but I dont mind.
This was brilliant throughout each part. It was a right rollercoaster, but I'm delighted for Shaun that he's progressing in life and is level headed. A lovely interaction between you both and glad you've built a friendship from this. Best channel on UA-cam for me right now.
Thank you Shaun for sharing your story, I can relate so much, to so much of your life experiences, your pain, your story hit me hard, I felt your pain and emotions. I have so much respect for you, I’d love to sit and talk to you. Your an amazing man, stay safe and be happy now. Sam keep up the great work, the stories are so interesting. X
Absolutely brilliant and honest from Shaun , it’s time to do some speaking in schools to highlight the pitfalls of jail time, you would be inspirational for mental health awareness
Thanks so much for this series Sam and Shaun! Been absolutely gripping content! Remember seeing both of you separately on Atwoods channel, I'm so glad there's finally a platform(s) for people to share their story and discuss mental health that comes from a place of goodness and growth! All the love guys
It's been really hard listening to his story but it's so compelling and though you can hear so much trauma in his voice, he tells it so well and keeps it so real. It brings home the injustice of a system not fit for purpose that let's these traumatised and misjudged people fall through the system. He should have been plucked up and helped so long ago. It would have saved to much sorrow, pain and would have cost the system much less than the court procedures and imprisonment which should never have been metered out. My heart breaks for him. I am praying that he will be granted a happy, safe, prosperous and productive life surrounded by people who will love and supported all the rest of his life. God bless you and thank you for being so frank and honest and for telling your story through the pain and sorrow. Judges and those who take charge of court procedure should be made to hear these peoples stories before they start careers in the justice system. You are making a difference. Wishing you a happy life full of joy, love and peace x
Thank you Shaun & Sam I’m so glad you are doing well & got the job you wanted maybe Sam will have you back in a few years to see how your doing, & sob story obviously they have never gone through any trauma in there life aren’t they the lucky ones, I’ve really enjoyed listening to your life story ever since I saw you on Shaun Atwood I was routing for you because what you have been through anyone else would of give up, so well done & keep up the good work
I enjoy your stories. Shaun is highly intelligent. Thank you from Ireland. ☘Returned to say,its because of Shaun's intelligence he can tell his stories with such insight.
Shaun, thank you for giving us the best part of 8 hours of your experiences and your life story. I really do hope that you come back on Sam’s channel, I am holding you to this Sam!! LOL!! Seriously tho, you Sam, you present really well and I am always looking forward to your next Vlog. Keep it up please mate and I want to wish you and Shaun all the best going forward 😊
Shaun’s down to earth intelligence and emotional honesty make this a really interesting interview. Such unfortunate circumstances but it’s great to hear that’s he’s managed to fight to make a positive life. All the best to him.
Shaun total respect for your honesty can’t wait for you to get your Channel up and running I just know it’s going to be massive keep up the good work Sam you’ve got the best channel on here brilliant mate 👏 👏👏👏
It's great to see that you have turned your life around. Not just turned it around, but you seem to have done a lot of self reflection. You know what triggers you. I hate my routine being changed too, and I know that me and alcohol are not friends! Also, your point about relying on a prison officer to get you something and they don't do it is understandably, really frustrating. I was a nurse, and if a patient asks you for something you owe it to them to do it. As anybody who has to rely on another person is vulnerable, regardless if it's a patient or a person in a prison. Yes, you may be busy and your shift is busy, but for the person relying on you, they aren't busy, they are waiting........ and waiting. And there's nothing worse than realising, 'shit they've gone home and I'm stuck.' I remember finishing a long 15 hour shift at 10.45pm, and I was back in at 7am, and got half way home before realising I hadn't done what a patient asked me. So I walked back! I wouldn't have slept anyway if I hadn't. Good luck for the future Shaun. I will try and take a leaf out of your book, You've got your head screwed on, mine's hanging off !!!
Brilliant podcast Sam. I'm so pleased for you shaun buddy. I hope nothing but the best on your future. I'm also looking forward to your new UA-cam channel.
Great story Shaun and I’m glad you come out a better person. Very well told mate. You know what they say it’s good to talk. and I hope by sharing u have helped get shot of a few demons. I wish u all the best in the future mate. Sam. As always. Fantastic content.
Watched all 3 podcasts n was an emotional ride. Sean a top genuine fella n deserves nothing but the best. Nuff respect bro from manchester n same to you big sam💯👊
Having watched all 3 of your podcasts with Shaun, I've shed some tears whilst listening to Shaun's story. Big respect to you Shaun and I wish you lots of happiness in your future ✌️🙂 By speaking out about his abuse and the events in his life as a result of what happened to him, I am sure this will help others feel inspired to find the strength to speak out and feel like they are not alone. You're doing a brilliant job Sam and I'm being educated each day with content from your podcasts and videos 👍🙂
Very good. Shaun. Wish you all the best. You come across as a decent bloke and its inspiring to listen to your talk about your family. Very genuine conversations. Take care
Well guys I am truly grateful for this footage, as a member of the general public I had no idea what makes you lads tick, you watch a tv dramatised prison program and think you know what’s going on. What a eye opener.
Mr Samworth, and Shaun, can I thank you so much for your video.Your life experiences Shaun have made you into the amazing, kind and humble individual that speaks with true passion and integrity.I believe that our lives are mapped out for us, and all you can do is try your best, and have respect.I hope you continue to go from strength to strength and the best is yet to come.Mr Samworth, sir, you are such a role model, you are a true gentleman, and your one in a million.Keep safe, ilseethe!
Sam is a straight talker and a decent lad, as for James English he is a walking contradiction and I could think of a few other choice words for him but I’m not going to air them here on Sam,s channel...
Sam you are allowing these people a platform to show how valuable they are and can be after prison - you genuinely care for these people which is refreshing and humbling. Makes me want to learn more about what happens to these people because they can so easily be left to rot. You need to go out to schools and talk to kids as they would listen to you guys xxxx
I have listened to this pod cast a few times and I love the content Shaun is an amazing fella and I could listen to him all day I hope we hear more from him thanks Sam x
How do Sam looking forward to watching this later. The other 2 videos with Shaun are up there with the best yet. Your channel is on fire 🔥 Sam one of the best out there. Shaun I wish you all the best for the future your a belting lad, real genuine and honest good luck to you pal
I’ve only been able to watch half of this and it’s made me late for work. But it was hard to stop watching! Well said Shaun! You’re such a likeable guy! I wish you all the best in life from now on. I’ll be watching the rest as soon as I get home! X
Love this Sam.can so relate to so much.good on sean.we all have different shoes that we've walked in or are still walking in.tomorrow is the start of the rest of your life.1 step at a time.1st step always the hardest.respect to you.
I tell you what Shaun mate, it's never to late to box, i know people that are in there 70s that still train everyday and still box in the white collar boxing and well done for doing this man, your brave, my family as some of us that suffer with mental heath, my little cousin hung herself just before Christmas, so i know it's a real thing and if i lived near you i would really help you get to that fight you want, i'm a pro trainer at the min but i've done it all from amateur boxing to pro standard unlicensed to bare knuckle fighting to promoting boxing, it's a shame i live in London, but good luck brother i hope to see that fight one day.

Shaun I will give you my opinion like I previously have. You’re a genuine, sincere guy who has had a deeply troubled past. I hope you get on with your life and most importantly be happy. I’d happily buy you a pint of fizzy drink if we ever meet 👊🏻
Stay strong and don’t listen to these ignorant, immature muppets who are quick to run someone down.
Thank you Shaun for showing us the insights of what as happened in your life I wish you all the best and keep up the great work that you have done since you came out #RESPECT and thank you Mr Samworth for bringing us this great channel and videos.
Shaun I wish you the very very best in life, whoever it was who commented “ sob story “ I can only say they are negative, cruel & have no empathy or understanding of other peoples feelings or situations,, I think your extremely brave & im looking forward to your channel beginning,,, 💕💕💕
What a amazing inspirational man! I could watch him all day I'm literally glued to the screen. In my opinion the sky is the limit for this guy a proper man! Good luck mate...
Shaun your a top bloke I've learnt alot from watching your podcasts . I was in prison for over 20 years thank you so much for helping me. And your a top bloke as well Sam thanks for the amazing videos
"Ow do".........I've commented on first two episode's, not much more I can say, except..........shaun, you are a truly remarkable chap, ive learned things, ive realised things, although difficult at times, ive hung on every word......there is no words to express my admiration and respect for you, and I wish you every success in the future, I feel like I've met you, and would truly be proud to call you my friend. Thanks again big man 🙏
Be reyt!👊😎
It’s not a sob story, it’s your story Shaun, and well done for telling it, I wish you all the best xx
Very interesting. Good luck Shaun with everything you do. I could listen to you all day.
I’ve got a lot of time for Shaun. He is ‘now’ a good lad. After watching him talk for a few hours I can see he is giving his all to his life, much respect!!
Sam, great work mate, keep it up, love the content.
Shaun I've watched all three parts of your story. It was like a book I didn't want to put down, some funny tales, sad parts , it had everything.
Your the kind of guy id have as a pal, you'd be great company as you have the gift of being able to talk well. 👍👍
Two amazing men. Great blog a very brave man to do these talks to help others.
I wish you both all the best.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 still not enough thumbs up for these guys xxx I worked in A&E as a HCA, and mental health is NOT taken seriously enough. I have had bigger men than Sam there, collapse crying literally on me because I showed them empathy and love. No one knows what somebody else’s background is or what they are going through!!! Take time with them and let them know they can trust you enough to open up, send them love even if you just ask them how they are or ask them if they need a hug. Just one comment can save someone ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless u xxx
@@RealPorridgePodcast I hope you don't mind my short story explaining a really difficult time that a really great officer helped me through, probably a lot of spelling mistakes but I tried to give credit where due , cheers
Thanks for doing this shaun , been great to hear your story , your a proper diamond in the rough mate .i hope your life continues on the up.
Just finished binge watching all your vids, and I’m blown away. Gail and Shaun’s story in particular. Keep up the good work Mr Samworth, they are helping me put my own troubles in perspective. It’s reassuring to know there are still people out there who give a shit.
Another great conversation between yourself & Shaun, good stuff, appreciate you sharing your story Shaun🤙🏻🎩☘️🍀🤙🏻
A very touching and emotionally real story, much love and support to Shaun and his family
I have watched hundreds of Shaun Attwood vids and the Scottish bloke (boring bloke can't remember his name) but this story has rocked me and this has been the most real and honest story ive ever heard. Videos like this is what independent video is all about. Real stories from real people, uncensored. I feel so sorry for shaun and what he went through, really appreciated his honesty from episode 1 and what he went through and was genuinely shocked at some parts, getting shanks ordered will stay with me forever. Samworth as well - you can tell he knows how to listen properly, Shaun Attwood for example is shocking at this (any excuse to say "it was kill on-site for them when I was inside" is a good example)
im going to subscribe now and watch all the other videos....this story has really amazed me thanks you Shaun, the courage to tell us his story will educate thousands and will help countless. bravo.sam keep up the good work and continue to just let your guests do the talking
Shaun you are an amazing and wonderful man,,we NEED more people like you in this life my friend,,✊🏻✊🏻🇬🇧
Best podcast about right now and shaun be proud of how far you have come stay strong big lad
It's been a pleasure listening to your rollercoaster of a story mate, I wish you nothing but good things for the future....Stay up brother !!!! Props to Mr. Sam yet again.
I’ve not commented on any of the previous vlogs you’ve posted Sam... didn’t feel
I needed to as I have nothing to say that hasn’t been mirrored several times by all the others... and still dont... I’ve looked
Forward to hearing the next chapter of Shaun’s story, and I can’t wait to read his book if he gets there or listen his podcast... if anyone of your videos discourages 1 young person or adult not to commit a crime that will end them up
In the prison system then you have both done the best thing. About to move onto the next part of ‘bent screws story’
Well done to you all and keep up the good work... you are all amazing xxx
Captivating listening this Sam. Shaun has done brilliant and good luck to him for the future
Tears been streaming down my face listening to all 3 parts of this podcast , sam keep doing what your doing your giving these guys a platform to tell there stories . I really wish shaun and his family all the very best for the future keep doing what your doing big man and good times will follow . Thanku for sharing your story with us 👍
Sam. Shaun. The best podcast yet. Seems like a top lad, I’d shake his hand in the street as these talks will have helped more people than he can ever imagine. Please keep us updated on Shaun’s progress, I hope he is settled in a job and lodgings👍
You should be so proud of yourself for opening up and speaking to Sam about your life such a legend as always Sam keep doing what you doing pal and #howdo
👊😎💯‼️
Certainly NO SOB STORY!!!
Please just throw it away!!! Shaun you've done amazing!! Thankyou Sam, fir doing this...ps I could see HOW HARD YOU WERE TRYING not to interrupt😁😁
The prison service could learn so much from both of you; input in the training would be invaluable. Someone like Shaun would make a great contribution to prison reform. Don’t waste your life experience as hard as it’s been. You could really make a difference. Be that person you would have needed. x
Sam another great interview! Thank you.
Enjoyed listening to Shaun’s story and I wish him all the best in life and hope he can move forward and have a positive life...it’s inspiring hearing Shaun be so positive and understanding about mental health and life after everything he’s been thru in his own life...I struggle with certain things myself and often feel like nobody really understands...it does help hearing people like urself Neil and Shaun have an understanding about mental health...keep up with the quality content wishing u both all the best
How do
I don't normally comment on anything on youtube I dont do any social media but this podcast was amazing. Shawn you should be a public speaker you'd be ace at it.
Got diagnosed in last 2 years with aspergers & adhd at 50 yrs old. The amount of people who I thought were friends who have walked away from me because of mental health stigma is ridiculous. I'm quite a straight talking person & I refuse to keep quiet about my mental health because it's not talked about anywhere near enough.
Keep up the good work Sam its helping me loads.
Hey James. So sorry to near what's happened with your so called friends. I find myself in a situation where, following my most recent stroke, there are no physical signs, but it's affected my left frontal lobe which has left me highly emotional, easily overwhelmed and with no filter, so whatever pops into my head just comes out verbally. After warning them of this unseen disability my few good friends of 40+ years have stuck with me. It's been hard to adjust to this new me, but I simply try and view it in as much as I can at least still walk and talk. I hope you have some true and good friends that have stuck by you, if not I sincerely wish you find friends who are worthy of having g you as a friend. Take care and look after yourself 🙂
Forgot to say, totally agree with your comment that Sean should speak publicly, he is brilliant with his insight and I wish him all the very best. Like you, I don't do and never have done social media as I think it has the potential to cause harm to vulnerable people.
@@jaytucker8834 hey Jay, sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you feel better soon. I have some close friends maybe about 7, apart from that even my family have turned their back on me. I dont receive any treatment for my conditions. My therapy is playing music & writing original songs, I'm getting quite good at it all & will be playing gigs as soon as its possible. I spend a lot of time alone but I dont mind.
This was brilliant throughout each part. It was a right rollercoaster, but I'm delighted for Shaun that he's progressing in life and is level headed.
A lovely interaction between you both and glad you've built a friendship from this.
Best channel on UA-cam for me right now.
Thank you Shaun for sharing your story, I can relate so much, to so much of your life experiences, your pain, your story hit me hard, I felt your pain and emotions.
I have so much respect for you, I’d love to sit and talk to you.
Your an amazing man, stay safe and be happy now.
Sam keep up the great work, the stories are so interesting.
X
Love all your videos Sam , keep them coming xxx💕
Big UP Shaun. I knew you were proper right from the start. If ever your in The Boro there's a good. Seasiders
Shaun you a top man ,it isn't a sob story it is an intriguing story which we can all learn from, Keep moving forward my man . Big hugs from Scott 👍
Absolutley brilliant this again Sam I wish you every success with everything you do in the future Shaun you are a good man
Shaun, lad, I’ve just watched all 3 parts. Keep up the great work. I’ve every faith you will make waves and go on to great things.
I think your brave to talk about your past experiences and you should be proud of yourself that you can
Absolutely brilliant and honest from Shaun , it’s time to do some speaking in schools to highlight the pitfalls of jail time, you would be inspirational for mental health awareness
Very much enjoying these stories. Hang on in the pal you’ll do ok I’m sure. You seem like a good lad. Stuart from Manchester
Thanks so much for this series Sam and Shaun! Been absolutely gripping content! Remember seeing both of you separately on Atwoods channel, I'm so glad there's finally a platform(s) for people to share their story and discuss mental health that comes from a place of goodness and growth! All the love guys
It's been really hard listening to his story but it's so compelling and though you can hear so much trauma in his voice, he tells it so well and keeps it so real. It brings home the injustice of a system not fit for purpose that let's these traumatised and misjudged people fall through the system. He should have been plucked up and helped so long ago. It would have saved to much sorrow, pain and would have cost the system much less than the court procedures and imprisonment which should never have been metered out. My heart breaks for him. I am praying that he will be granted a happy, safe, prosperous and productive life surrounded by people who will love and supported all the rest of his life. God bless you and thank you for being so frank and honest and for telling your story through the pain and sorrow. Judges and those who take charge of court procedure should be made to hear these peoples stories before they start careers in the justice system. You are making a difference. Wishing you a happy life full of joy, love and peace x
Very kind words bless you xxx💜🙏
Good luck Shaun all the best stay out stay safe brother
Thank you Shaun & Sam I’m so glad you are doing well & got the job you wanted maybe Sam will have you back in a few years to see how your doing, & sob story obviously they have never gone through any trauma in there life aren’t they the lucky ones, I’ve really enjoyed listening to your life story ever since I saw you on Shaun Atwood I was routing for you because what you have been through anyone else would of give up, so well done & keep up the good work
I enjoy your stories. Shaun is highly intelligent. Thank you from Ireland. ☘Returned to say,its because of Shaun's intelligence he can tell his stories with such insight.
Shaun, thank you for giving us the best part of 8 hours of your experiences and your life story. I really do hope that you come back on Sam’s channel, I am holding you to this Sam!! LOL!! Seriously tho, you Sam, you present really well and I am always looking forward to your next Vlog. Keep it up please mate and I want to wish you and Shaun all the best going forward 😊
Shaun’s down to earth intelligence and emotional honesty make this a really interesting interview.
Such unfortunate circumstances but it’s great to hear that’s he’s managed to fight to make a positive life. All the best to him.
With this lads level of insight and ability to explain it he’d be top notch at behavioural science
Shaun total respect for your honesty can’t wait for you to get your Channel up and running I just know it’s going to be massive keep up the good work Sam you’ve got the best channel on here brilliant mate 👏 👏👏👏
It's great to see that you have turned your life around. Not just turned it around, but you seem to have done a lot of self reflection. You know what triggers you. I hate my routine being changed too, and I know that me and alcohol are not friends!
Also, your point about relying on a prison officer to get you something and they don't do it is understandably, really frustrating. I was a nurse, and if a patient asks you for something you owe it to them to do it. As anybody who has to rely on another person is vulnerable, regardless if it's a patient or a person in a prison. Yes, you may be busy and your shift is busy, but for the person relying on you, they aren't busy, they are waiting........ and waiting. And there's nothing worse than realising, 'shit they've gone home and I'm stuck.'
I remember finishing a long 15 hour shift at 10.45pm, and I was back in at 7am, and got half way home before realising I hadn't done what a patient asked me. So I walked back! I wouldn't have slept anyway if I hadn't.
Good luck for the future Shaun. I will try and take a leaf out of your book, You've got your head screwed on, mine's hanging off !!!
Brilliant podcast Sam. I'm so pleased for you shaun buddy. I hope nothing but the best on your future. I'm also looking forward to your new UA-cam channel.
Great story Shaun and I’m glad you come out a better person. Very well told mate. You know what they say it’s good to talk. and I hope by sharing u have helped get shot of a few demons. I wish u all the best in the future mate. Sam. As always. Fantastic content.
Good luck with your future Shaun.
A great 3 part job well done 👍🏻
Watched all 3 podcasts n was an emotional ride. Sean a top genuine fella n deserves nothing but the best. Nuff respect bro from manchester n same to you big sam💯👊
Having watched all 3 of your podcasts with Shaun, I've shed some tears whilst listening to Shaun's story. Big respect to you Shaun and I wish you lots of happiness in your future ✌️🙂
By speaking out about his abuse and the events in his life as a result of what happened to him, I am sure this will help others feel inspired to find the strength to speak out and feel like they are not alone.
You're doing a brilliant job Sam and I'm being educated each day with content from your podcasts and videos 👍🙂
Very good. Shaun. Wish you all the best. You come across as a decent bloke and its inspiring to listen to your talk about your family. Very genuine conversations. Take care
Happy Easter
I’ve watched the first three interviews…very inspiring, thanks.
I hope he’s continuing his progression.
Its a struggle but he will get there cheers
Balls to the boxing I’ll be tuning in to this one tonight... happy days! Hope you and Shaun are all good mr samworth 👍🏻
Shaun.. you are brilliant. Big hearted, decent man. What a great speaker. You will go far in life, lots of love.
Karen from Preston. 🥰
Well guys I am truly grateful for this footage, as a member of the general public I had no idea what makes you lads tick, you watch a tv dramatised prison program and think you know what’s going on. What a eye opener.
Mr Samworth, and Shaun, can I thank you so much for your video.Your life experiences Shaun have made you into the amazing, kind and humble individual that speaks with true passion and integrity.I believe that our lives are mapped out for us, and all you can do is try your best, and have respect.I hope you continue to go from strength to strength and the best is yet to come.Mr Samworth, sir, you are such a role model, you are a true gentleman, and your one in a million.Keep safe, ilseethe!
How do xx
absolutely loving these podcasts sam, just watched your podcast with James English you seriously are a decent man with a proper heart
Sam is a straight talker and a decent lad, as for James English he is a walking contradiction and I could think of a few other choice words for him but I’m not going to air them here on Sam,s channel...
@@zenthomas9180 he revealed he's a Rangers fan, so he's losing favour with me for that
Just remember Shaun nobody has walked in your shoes. Good Luck mate.
Sam you are allowing these people a platform to show how valuable they are and can be after prison - you genuinely care for these people which is refreshing and humbling. Makes me want to learn more about what happens to these people because they can so easily be left to rot. You need to go out to schools and talk to kids as they would listen to you guys xxxx
This is an absolutely bang on insight into what its like inside a prison also a great interview i really enjoyed going on the journey with you both
I have listened to this pod cast a few times and I love the content Shaun is an amazing fella and I could listen to him all day I hope we hear more from him thanks Sam x
Been trying to get in touch with him xx
Enjoyed all 3 podcast well done Sam and Shaun !! All the best for the future Shaun 💪🏻👊🏻
Thank you again Shaun for sharing your life with us..Hope your doing well.All the best to you from Glasgow.👍
Lost for words on the third part of this trilogy. Blew me away on Shauns journey such honesty. you captured
How do Sam looking forward to watching this later. The other 2 videos with Shaun are up there with the best yet. Your channel is on fire 🔥 Sam one of the best out there. Shaun I wish you all the best for the future your a belting lad, real genuine and honest good luck to you pal
I’ve only been able to watch half of this and it’s made me late for work. But it was hard to stop watching! Well said Shaun! You’re such a likeable guy! I wish you all the best in life from now on. I’ll be watching the rest as soon as I get home! X
stop doing this to us Sam the boxing is on tonight, I'll tune in tomorrow for this one can't wait!
Such a selfish person or what! 🤗
Happy with the result?
Top one lads. Shaun you've come so far. Well done from someone who knows what it's like.
Love this Sam.can so relate to so much.good on sean.we all have different shoes that we've walked in or are still walking in.tomorrow is the start of the rest of your life.1 step at a time.1st step always the hardest.respect to you.
So much respect for you Shaun pal thank you again for your story and when your channel is up I'll be subscribing mate.🙏🙏🙏
Bloody love this channel and Shaun you should be so proud of yourself turning your life round after all you have been through ❤️
I tell you what Shaun mate, it's never to late to box, i know people that are in there 70s that still train everyday and still box in the white collar boxing and well done for doing this man, your brave, my family as some of us that suffer with mental heath, my little cousin hung herself just before Christmas, so i know it's a real thing and if i lived near you i would really help you get to that fight you want, i'm a pro trainer at the min but i've done it all from amateur boxing to pro standard unlicensed to bare knuckle fighting to promoting boxing, it's a shame i live in London, but good luck brother i hope to see that fight one day.
