Some great interviews, really enjoying the in depth answers and stories. Dodge but don't know you though, ever thought of a self interview or giving us an insight in to you.
His accent and mannerisms are the perfect example of a real Cockney.
No just a London man,I live in east
That jumper he's wearing is DOPE.

Your podcast just gets better and better .....Thanks Dodge
These interviews are so much more interesting and enlightening than most of the stuff out there. Really good content.
I've seen Stephen interviewed before, and this is by far the best. Frank, open...but no glamour. I'm sure you've got a part two in the pipeline somewhere. Keep doing the do, and dripping the gold 👌🏼
Best interview yet, a very intelligent, articulate and self- aware man who has Really changed his life around... he explains that lifestyle exactly as it is and certainly doesn't try and make it attractive for the listener... excellent.
Articulate?!? Repetitive and poor vocabulary more like.....😂😅😂 You know...you know what I'm saying...you know...Dodge you know😂 I did that right? Did the other right,right and you know right 😂😂😂
Are are are

Great interview Dodge , your a natural at this game . I’ve seen Stephen in a few interviews and what a bloody good bloke he comes across as . He has had such terrible struggles in his life starting as a kid and it’s great to see him doing ok now .
Great host and great guest. Can’t get enough fo both gentlemen 👍🏻
I can reveal who was responsible for the Rettendon murders, it was Jim Bowen. Remember, the murders happened at the height of Bullseye's popularity. Jim was told Tate & Tucker were going to be contestants on the show & Jim assumed 'Tate & Tucker' was cockney rhyming slang for 'fucker.' Well Jim wasn't letting anyone take the piss out of him on his own game show so he lured Tate and Tucker down Farmhouse Lane with the promise of a bendy bully each. Instead, Jim lay in wait with his musket. When the Range Rover appeared, he leapt out from a gooseberry bush, shouted 'Look what you could have won' and then opened fire. BANG! BANG! BANG! 'Great, smashing super' said Jim then he jumped on Tony Green's back who then gave him a piggyback back up the M1 to Bolton.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Yeah probably cos he didn't have his B. F. H. Ha.
What an excellent story this man tells , great podcast 👍
Really enjoyed this content peace and respect everytime ✌️
brilliant podcast dodge, and loved hearing stevens story again, 👏👏
Dodge. Great pod again. Had some big names on Looking foward to seeing you get bigger names 😊👍
Love these Dodge as I live in Bmth been great to see your festival grow. But can tell you're a very good salesman in these interviews. Such a change on the modern day to ask a good question and then listen and respond to the answer. Lot of respect and great entertainment 👏

Well done dodge as always 1st class interview whereabouts in bethnal green did steve grow up mate?
And Dodge nails it again. The best on KZhead. Worthy of a full time show on Sky.
Kind words mate 🙏
@@DodgeWoodall Thank you, pal. Brilliant interviews as always. Please keep them coming.
Best staying independent from any of the mainstream media, as they own you and control every part of your content
I tell you something. Clearly Stephen Gillen was not to be messed with, but you can tell he's not a bully like some are - right from the off. He''s a decent guy. Hey, I wouldn't like to be on the end of one of his robberies say, but given what he went through: I have to say: What a nice guy. All the best.
I've just discovered your channel Dodge excellent stuff, excellent guests.
Thanks Kev and welcome on board 👍🏼👍🏼
Birds of a feather, dropped together, brilliant 👏
Sean Stevo on many podcasts but this is the best so far you ask all the right questions, btw could consider getting joe Wieczorek he was the founder of a legendary rave club called the labyrinth in 12 Dalston lane it was a mental place and joes has some great stories to tell he was a football hooligan before the raving came along
Good man Peter 😊 Yeah let’s get him on, you got a contact for him?
Labrynth was my first ever rave in the early 90s was a great place remeber going to united dance at stevenage arts and leisure center to get Labrynth tickets of the guys thst handed out Labrynth tickets early in the morning as people where leaveing a friend who drove used to give his car keys to one of the bouncers working the fence he let us under the fence and would use the van to do his business with whatever bird he pulled lol.. we would grab as many tickets as we could back to dalston lane and sell them for £5 a go in the que sonyou gained entry for £1 after a few months i got introduced to a very big black man who worked the doors he would give me 10 jack and jills to sell i would give him the money and he would bung me a few quid and another 10 pills ended up going most of the raves and festivals over the years was s great time thinking back was introduced to terry turbo who was big in the rave scene if i remeber right he founded one nation later went into acting again was a great time to be alive your comment brought a load of memories floding back inrsved right up to the early 2000s after bates died the jack and jills seemed to die out a bit and cocaine took over the scean really changed after that moddy fights just went down hill thsnks for the memorie jog
Cracking podcast ❤!!!

Just happened across this by chance. Nice one, lads. After 59 years, I know the truth when I hear it. Subscribed.
Welcome on board Rich 🙏
Likewise a few days ago, class
Lee Marvin here Dodge! I too used to get “The Strap” I’m school - in mid 80’s!!
This breaks my heart, ive come to listen this again as i need the melancholy as i fight my demons personality and crying is part of my fixing my feelings. Love your reaction as i love you, miss Katherine a beautiful choice xx
The Monkey puzzle tree might be the best name for a book ever
First time watching this channel . Looks good
Amazing story... Good luck deserves it all x❤ Dodge smashed it again 🎉❤
Good man Steve 👌🏼
Will these books only be available online? AMAZON ETC, OR WILL THE BOOKS BE ON SALE IN EATERSTONES AND WH.SMITH?❤❤
I've always found Steven says stuff he doesn't need to say but total respect to the man he has turned a new leaf
London was a fast place for him, but he moves and speaks slowly.😅 He's only 52 years old, but there's something weird about him...Eastender innit?😂
Them hands kill me
This is what i like about Stephen he keep quiet where needed
Decent bloke, i wish him well... Dont half remind me of Russ Abbot though...😮
Brilliant Dodge 👏🏻
Stephen were was you on that millennium night ? I was watching the fireworks from a cell in belmarsh just a similar experience to myself 🙏
Top interview Dodge,Steven is the real deal,what a life transformation. One of your best podcasts.
Well done Dodge on getting Robert Deniro’s English brother…great episode
😂
Brother Robert D is an actor to this fella is the real deal, Bobby should play him in a film!!!! This fella is a rare thing there's a few of these real macoys about, dying breed though mate all the best yeah!!!
😂😂😂😂😂Robert deniro 💯
Yeah his names Robbed Dinero 😂
You talkin da him
Fantastic podcast with 2 good people.. All the best to you both.
updated cameras? Looks far better quality now !
Stabbing someone and only 12 months. That's ridiculous. Could have killed someone. At least now he acknowledges it was madness.
seems like a genuine guy and glad he is doing well now! and I also like his £1000 jumper
Dodge not giving up on him having an english accent as a baby was pure class
Great interview feel like he barely scratched the surface! Would be good to get him back for another one
Anyone know the brand of the sweatshirt that the guy being interviewed is wearing?
Aldi 👌👌👌
Best podcaster by miles 💪💪💪💪💪😳😳😳
What a great story teller love the older generation. I ust to work in denmark street in a bar tin pan ally id sit and listen to there storytelling all day long.
Sorry proves he's not thick!! He's a normal working class guy that had an unfortunate upbringing,like a lot of us back in the day...I can't stand this " oh he must be thick" cos he's from a council estate...look how articulated he is,an incredibly intelligent man...if you're from that background you understand that there's 2 paths you can choose,villainy or hard graft ( I chose the latter) & I'm so glad & proud I did...Mr Gillen I salute you sir for telling your story & turning your life around 💙
articulate✌
Nice one again, Dodge real people brilliant interviews. I'm going to put you on the spot. Who do you think killed the Essex boys respect mate.

Found your channel quite by accident Dodge, and I'm hooked. Stephen seems a lovely bloke, although I bet the victims of his robberies might beg to differ.
Welcome on board Mark 👍🏼👍🏼
You literally could listen to Stephen talk for hours such a good story teller and intriguing.
Brilliant podcast dodge doing a great job one of the few that actually really listen to the person and ask the questions I’d wanna know:)
Remember terry ackenbar ,gary hutchins , tony ward from your manor steve ,oh and sharkey
Hits it on the head it starts of as a bit of mischief and naughtiness as a. Kid suddenly gradually gets more serious as you start to make money out of it
You tried getting Rusty Firmin on the pod Dodge?
Leave with me 👍🏼👍🏼
