#045. DONE. [SERIES END]
Thank you.
Thank you.
Six days ago, I woke-up feeling very different. Shortly afterwards, a BBC TV producer emailed me. Coincidence? Let me read you the email...
Men who cry openly, how do you feel about it? Seeing Joe Rogan - one of the world's most 'Alpha' men - crying this week forced me to ask some very searching questions of myself. Help me get to the bottom of this, please.
Netflix series 'Dating Around' had a profound impact on me this week. Never has my initial judgement on someone been so wildly unjustified as it was for college professor Ben. You have to watch this guy. Let me explain. PS. One day, my future documentary 'The Train' is going to be my biggest ever release... so here's a love note to my future self x
This week, we talk about serial killers, emotional abuse & my penis.
I received a DM from a listener today. She confessed to being "disappointed" in me for something I said in a previous ep. I read her message on the show. Also this week, my awkward BBC interview, uncanny personality tests & how US singer Kalie Shorr made a giant contribution to my week.
Ever had an entire week where you feel zero kinship with society? It's debilitating. In this episode, I explain. Also this week, I give you an exclusive peak into my book, now it's half-finished, plus share mild regrets I have about last week's show.
I was rebuffed by a woman this week, and frankly, my response was perfect. I compare my response to documented accounts of men reacting poorly to rejection. Also this week, we dissect a stunning scene from a Louis Theroux' documentary and examine my next girlfriend.
I dedicate this episode to anyone who, like me, waits for conditions to be perfect before attempting something new. Truth is, I'm the least equipped poerson to write a book.... I'm terrible at goal-setting, lack discipline & overthink everything. Yet staggeringly, despite all this, I've written 5000 words in 5 days. Here's how I've done it...
Women.... what's the most off-putting thing a man you're attracted to reveal about himself? I have a wild admission about women's clothes for you this week. Also, I play a recently-found clip from my early days in radio (recorded 2003)..... a clip I believe would be UNACCEPTABLE in today's "woke" culture. How has so much changed in 17 years? Has too much changed?
I said something in episode 33 that... based on your response, warrants an apology. Also this week, let's discuss whinging artists.
My family friction, horrible temper & Elysia's decision to quit the adult sex industry.
Do you want to work in porn? Thousands of people do, right? This week, I offer my theory on how you can. Also, I unveil big plans for my website, tell you what happened to my newspaper pitch, show you where to get free beer & completely rethink my views on fame.
I was invited to write an article for a big newspaper this week. It was an unmissable opportunity. Unfortunately, if I accepted, I'd be committing some kind of fraud.
A guy I recently saw at a birthday party was unnecessarily good-looking, As a result, I want you to consider my attractiveness experiment. Also this week, I reveal whether the cute girl I DMd has replied....
Let's hangout every Friday, 'cause let's face it, there's a lot to discuss.
In this episode, I descend into an anxiety nightmare - as I message a girl I met 3 days ago. She attended one of my PR training events in London. In the message, I tell her I think she's beautiful. Why? Because she is. Also this week, I discuss worrying ADHD symptoms I appear to have. Plus, I read another uncomfortable message I had to send a very nice guy - a guy who I feel was ringing me more than I would like. This episode is a fucking hot mess.
US comedian Whitney Cummings recently interviewed fellow comedian Nikki Glaser. During their chat, Nikki told a story about a hot guy on an airplane. Nikki's view of the encounter pissed me off, and I want to explain why. Also this week, let's discuss my modeling contract and a new TV format I've written called 'Desserted'.
My ex was hotter than me, and everyone knew it. One of her clients was a handsome doctor. All the nurses found him attractive. He would often flirt with my ex. Although I have an unflinching belief she never did anything with the dude, can anyone ever be 100% certain of their boyfriend or girlfriend's fidelity? Let's dicuss...
What's the worst thing your best friend could ever do to you? What could you never forgive? This week, I discuss the lack of sensitivity I recently showed my best mate. PLUS, a spectacular new feature debuts on today's show. Enjoy!
A listener sent me a comment I don't agree with, so I spend most of this episode taking the piss out of the poor guy. Also this week, my half-assed casting for a Burberry commercial and the woman who hates the word 'breasts'. PS. I'm ashamed to admit it, but maybe fame is the one thing I actually do want, despite what I've said in many previous episodes.
Aged 26, Kate Ovens has amassed an online audience of over half-a-million, thanks to her 'Man Vs Food' style challenges. Becoming an influencer wasn't without obstacles, though. In the early stages of her YouTube journey, Kate faced mocking from friends and fellow university students who failed to see the point of her making videos. Now, having been featured in mainstream news and regularly working with major brands, Kate joined me to discuss fear, failure and going viral.
My modeling agent rang me yesterday. Let's go through that phone call! Also this week, I dissect the last two podcast episodes of this podcast - which featured special guests Ellie Flynn & Elysia Nicole Downings - revealing the one thing that annoyed me. And finally, if my daughter told me she wanted to worrk in the adult industry, how would I respond? American pornstar Charlotte Stokely makes a convincing argument for such a profession. Let's explore...... 🇺🇸
Struggling with financial difficulties, in 2018, Elysia Nicole Downings turned her back on a career as a professional wedding photographer and transitioned into online sex work. Nowadays, sometimes earning £700-a-day, Elysia is open, honest and uncompromising in her support of the online sex industry. Elysia and I explore the realities of being a 'cam girl' in 2020.
Undercover Journalist Ellie Flynn and I discuss men, abuse, money, sex, catfishing, the adult industry and her undeniably impressive wardrobe choices. Ellie's catalogue of BBC documentaries have attracted well-earned praise, with NME hailing her as "BBC Three's shining star" . Eye-opening, unsettling and dark themes aplenty, I find Ellie's stories captivating - so inviting her onto my podcast was a total no-brainer.
YES OR NO...... all the problems, difficulties & challenges in your life are YOUR fault? This week, I downloaded an audiobook called 'THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND', and for the first time in my life, I realised how my fear of fame is most likely the SOLE cause for my lack of progress as a writer, creator & filmmaker. With significant changes happening to this podcast from next week, this is the perfect time for us to talk about this, so let's.....
If not for my liberal outlook on life, there's every chance I'd be mortified, embarrassed or enraged by who I found myself attracted to this week....
A break from social media is an absolute must for me right now. In this episode, I share the text message I sent my best friend explaining why. Also this week, I reveal my honest opinions on BBC's hit show Normal People & answer your listener questions. Thank you for sending them.... 🌹
I've always hated the term "IT'S NOT FAIR", especially when said by adults. Boris Johnson's chief aide, Dominic Cummings, incensed the nation this week, fuelling calls for his immediate dismissal. Among the rage, were claims that "IT'S NOT FAIR". This week, I explain why I hate that sentence. Oh, I got a monstrously negative review of my documentary 'Waiting With a Killer' this week, so let's talk about that, too.
My allergy to the IDEA of fame was discussed in episodes 1 & 14. This week, yet again, by total fluke, I stumbled across two more interviews where celebrities explore the drawbacks of being 'known'. Let's discuss this issue (again!), make some outlandish predictions about my future documentary project 'The Train' and reveal the influence US comedian Kate Quigley has had on this podcast x
