brilliant interview. i deliver parcels for a living. listening to this i went 5 miles to drop a parcel off. parked outside the property, drove back to base. i got back and i realised i didt even get out of the car and deliver the parcel. thats how good this one was.
100% genuine, unlike some social media driven muppets ……very intelligent man too that would offer a lot to a rehabilitation programme for prisoners / young offenders 👌🏽
Respect to mezzer for the turnaround, was banged up in cdc (Central detention centre) in the same pad as Stephen, before his escape and subsequent sentence and he told me some wonderful stories, was amazed when he popped up on this podcast, I never forgot him and the stories he told me, some man.
its refreshing to hear a excriminal telling a story with a good degree of humility and he doesn't give it ....the big i am!....also respect James how you listened and responded ......and never talked over Stephen, people respect that.. good luck in the future Stephen
I think this man did so well because of his integrity and honesty which is very rare in this game so the people he bought off and sold to knew that Stephen was and is a Staunch man.
A lot of people on here seem to know him and Curtis Warren well! You’ve read a few books and now you know the full story! Just let the man tell his version of events - nothing to gain by making anything up and he doesn’t need any approval off anyone. Great interview, James 👍
@@thomashassall96 I know Curits well. I used to baby sit him when he was a boy. He baby sat me when I was a child too. Fantastic man. He once donated a water fountain to my water fountain appreciation society, and every Halloween he makes sure all the kids in my area have their own bespoke cutlery.
When you're in CatAAA for so long it must really fuck you up, yet this chap is very strong mentally. Whilst he may look like your friendly Uncle he must have be totally ruthless.
Possibly your best podcast yet James and I rate them all very highly. Stephen's story is amazing. Thank you both for sharing. Keep up the great work brother. You're going from strength to strength and long may it continue. Bless-ed love, health and strength to you both. Many thanks.
I havent long found your channel james but my god.. the interviews u have with these legends of time are amazing and gripping.. ive lost 3days so far just listening to all the amazing guest.. keep up the great work.. u are a legend in the making urself 👊
The thing i like about your Podcast James, you always ask the right questions and let the guest speak. You also asks questions with a good and friendly attitude. I had a couple of friends in high positions in a well known Manchester gang. They like most top criminals are really nice genuine people, but a word of caution to any wannabe Gangster, do not take their kindness or friendship as a weakness because you will see their bad side and trust me you never want to see that. But look after them and be loyal and they will make sure you are untouchable and they will be loyal to you.
Brilliant stuff chaps, im actually from the town next to Newton Heath (no not failsworth) and i have spent alot of time with some of the most highly respected people from Newton Heath, people i know for a fact are friends of Stephens infact, and i can tell you they are the nicest, most genuine, tight knit and loyal people you could ever wish to meet.
I think this channel is absolutely brilliant. It takes many different types of people to make up the world and the amount of different characters I’ve seen interviewed on here is amazing. One thing that virtually all of these people have in common is that they’ve managed to change their lives for the better. Most of them are a product of their environment as well. Interesting and fascinating.
Yet another great watch James. Still number 1 on UA-cam in my eyes. I was a subscriber to Ratwood, Gee and yourself. Guess who is the only one that I subscribe to these days. Keep being real bro much respect from Redditch in Worcestershire. x.
hi mez i lived on the heath via platting 86 till 96 and your name was respected i always wondered about your life and i bumped into this clip so thanks james for getting mez to sit down and fill folks gaps i,e gossip take care mez respect to you from me big gav

@@jakoflynn2560 when it comes to making money he’s intelligent. He’s an old man that got into crypto when it started. No doubt he’s a millionaire just off that alone.
@@thebizness5596 yeah I’m not here to decry my fellow man for their failings maybe his inscrutability and apparent invisibility made him a great drug smuggler he’s discrete
Its like,, what we was told back in the day... But we never listened... You only become a wise gentleman later in life... Respect from Bolton son...💯💯💯🤛🤛🤛
back in the mid 80s Scousers and mancs would go abroad robbing together. Holland Belgium etc. they would then meet Dutch criminals in jail and make good contacts for weed and E's. brilliant podcast James Stephen seems a honest genuine bloke.
Love this story,,, because he’s from next door,,, I’m from Bolton and I believe every word he says... He’s a gentleman who should be free... Good luck son...💯💯💯🤛🤛🤛
Hear a lot of people talk rubbish just to big themselves up but this guy seems so genuine there was times in this interview where he could have made stuff up but he’s just like no that didn’t happen it was just like this what a guy Stephen is
I knew a guy about 10 years ago or so and I remember him telling me that he got caught trying to smuggle a kilo of cocaine out of French Guyana. He did his time in prison out there and he said that when he was released he couldn’t speak for 2 weeks. Due to the trauma he’d been through and what he’d seen in prison out there he said.
What a guy true story from the top end of criminality,stephens not got an edge no cockiness nothing,a true real life role model for the wannabes to listen up this guys got the message for you it is not worth it in the end ,all the best Stephen in your next life !
Thank you James and Steve, what an amazing interview! Such a shame you didnt further your career in art when you were younger in manc, but what a genius idea....time off for getting a pass in exams you didnt take at school age, this is a revolutionary idea, how can it be furthered? please pursue it......
Best one yet matey, and glad you got shut of ya cap. Lol.. This fella is a diamond geezer salt of the earth gent, who just so happens to be into transport... long live Mr Mee
Excellent interview James. Got proper growth in your work bro, always aware of best questions to ask👌nice calm attitude stephen has. I’m laughing at the custom panic 😂😂memories laughing in my head just now👌tactical man,accepted everything that hit his chin. Big respect Stephen. Another decent Sunday lads❤️✌️
Stephen’s a stereotypical manc in every sense of the word, love listening to him so high expectations for this... like Warren, an extremely intelligent bloke, just products of their environments (like many of that generation), what’s compelling is that either or would of been highly successful in most fields, alas though you have to play the hand you’re dealt sometimes!
Brilliant, one of my favourites so far, amazing story and genuine solid guy who tells it how it is I could listen to him all day, I feel like you've just stratched the surface with this one, I hope he does a film with the right people. All the best for the future Stephen
Curtis won’t talk to the media .. he won’t like this one he’s old skool .. a lot of people have made money on the back of Curtis name with their version of events etc be good to hear his story from his own mouth instead of listening to old associates.. very much doubt it tho .. he’s kept his mouth shut for near 30 years
I watched this interview when it was first released and I’ve just watched it again and enjoyed it more. Stephen is a Character and is a very intelligent man clearly in the top percentile. Whatever Stephen would have got involved in he would have excelled. A genuine man telling his story without the need to exaggerate unlike many of the other “gangsters” who saturate UA-cam with their jackanory stories.
Wonderful to see a man turn his life around. He has to live with the consequences of his actions of course, but what a grounded individual. The media will have us think that these guys are all animals, but the reality is that a lot of them are just making their way in the world. Good video.
NFT's the right ones will blow up, hats off to Stephen for hammering education, and for not glorifying his past deeds, great Interview from James English.....
Brilliant best podcast u have done in my eyes. There's been some great ones but this man is top drawer. Very clever man and a nice trustworthy one too. All the best with the painting
brilliant interview. i deliver parcels for a living. listening to this i went 5 miles to drop a parcel off. parked outside the property, drove back to base. i got back and i realised i didt even get out of the car and deliver the parcel. thats how good this one was.
At least it wasn't hot food 🤣
Typical driver 🙄
It was probably my Hermes package that didn’t turn up!
Does that not just make u a bit of numpty
Nice1 bro 🤣🤣
100% genuine, unlike some social media driven muppets ……very intelligent man too that would offer a lot to a rehabilitation programme for prisoners / young offenders 👌🏽
I was in the toughest jail in the Netherlands with him. Those stories come right up to me in 1999. Good Guy olso.
Howard is that you ? 🤔😉
If your telling the truth then what did Curtis say about brain charrginton ? From middlesbrough
Tough jail in nl?😂

Brilliant this jamesy and what a cracking fella he is, bet hes got some cracking stories so hopefully a part 2
U can tell this guy was the real deal by how matter of factly he tells his story, not glamorousing it just telling u how it was in his world then.
My favourite interview of yours so far. Brilliant stuff.

Remember reading the brilliant book “Cocky” Curtis Warren early 2000 and remember Stephen’s mugshot in that book.
He definitely needs to put a book out, this interview has probably only skimmed the surface.

That would be good curtis Warren but don't think he will cos he doesn't want people knowing more than they have to
Good interview, aww lived above Ste a few years ago, his art was excellent 👌
Loved it, thanks chaps, cracking way to spend a couple of hours.
Its like,, what we was told back in the day...
But we never listened...

Aul through the footy 😊
Scousers robbed Tacchini from the Italian sports shops
That’s why the Italians hate the scousers
And who can blame them
