dodge try and get luke and tom on stoltman brothers they are fantastic

[@samuelwhitcombe9744]

Something I really appreciate about your interviews is you let them speak. So many podcasters have a tendency to make every interview about themselves and interrupt the guest. Great work, keep it up

[@DodgeWoodall]

Thanks Samuel and it’s all about the guest 👍🏼👍🏼

[@sniper60605]

I agree.

[@The.One.7.]

Absolute heart of a lion on the boy. You can’t change the past, but he’s living proof you can completely alter your future. Hats off Big Lew

[@kizzyvaines3410]

Really proud of him for turning a negative situation into a positive response.well done Lewis

[@WorldsStrongestBarber]

Thank you for having me on Dodge! Was an amazing time, would love to do it again if the people want to see more of me 😎 For anyone reading this going through a tough time: Your past does not define you. Accept the mistakes that you have made and use the experience to change your life for the better!

[@michaelcarter846]

Brilliant interview mate, you came across really well. As always Dodge let’s people tell their story only interjecting when needed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@robbiehodson1191]

Love your honesty mate. The description of being chilled/cold when u got sentenced really got to me. Wish you all the best

[@DodgeWoodall]

Thanks for your honesty Lew and I wish you all the best on becoming the strongest man in the UK 🇬🇧💪🏼

[@chrisharris5497]

It was truly moving and inspiring to hear your story Lewis, some people don't make it back when they've had half the challenges you had as a youngster, massive respect for changing your outlook as well as your life bud. I wish you nothing but good things and success in everything you do from here on in both professionally and personally. I have no doubt when the time is right you'll have a healthy and happy loving relationship with your boy and I'm sure he'll be nothing other than proud of his dad. Keep on moving forward bud and keep on with the youngsters, if you only change one person's attitude you'll change the life of one but the journey of a whole family. 👍❤

[@stevenfinch9026]

Great that pal thank u

[@sheapyfpv8224]

What a top guy just shows wrong time wrong place 1 bad decision can change ur whole life. But with right attitude and hard work you can get through anything

[@lorrainehughes-smith199]

This young man has learnt a HUGE lesson the hard way. It’s so good to see how well he is doing now, what he has achieved and what I am really noticing is how well he speaks. I wish him well for the future. He sure has had a hard time.

[@82JLS]

Probably my favourite yet that. What a top lad. Thanks again Dodge, can't stop watching these, you're a genuine top lad interviewer. Keep them coming, you get loads of respect from all the guests.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Much appreciated John and I genuinely enjoy having proper chats with all my guests 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MassiveBenny]

These interviews are bloody brilliant Dodge! Professionally presented, insightful, open and honest. And good luck Lewis!

[@rajchoudhury5130]

Lovely to see an intelligent well spoken person. Great episode

[@martindavies2177]

Brilliant to hear that the big guy changed his life around. All the best and best of success for your future.

[@NorthernMigrationTravel]

Great interview mate… wonderful to see a transformed life 🙏

[@lc4393]

Brilliant. Fascinating story, inspiring person. And what a gem his mother is. What lessons Lewis teaches us all. There is no divide in society. We are all people. And we should all be able to put things to bed, and/or have an opportunity to put things right, after the event. Where there is a will there is a way. These lads have backgrounds and Trauma that are not their fault. And that can be healed (the neuroplasticity of the brain and Epigenetics; I have even seen a presentation by renowned Clinician Bessel Van Der Kolk which showed a lad fully recovered from his ADHD (video footage of which was shown from his childhood - and it was violent) after he’d had Trauma intervention, treatment that was right for him (there are many different modalities/methods) and support). I also think women need to support men in better ways. There is a lot of scope clearly coming out of a need for this. A coming together of minds. It is people like Lewis who help to show how communities can come together. Not Judges, and CCTV prosecutions - a downward spiral. Another fantastic interview. Thanks for giving these fellas a platform Dodge. They are more than deserving of it. Those in the authorities and rehabilitation can learn an awful lot about how society can be knitted together for the greater good from these fine lads who set a fine example, often against a backdrop of bias. It has really opened my eyes up to those who have served time. Respect and best wishes.

[@shovelhead4558]

What a lovely chap I look forward to seeing how he does in strongman very bright and talented.

[@BigDaddyBsFoods]

Lewis is a cracking guy. A true inspiration to all of us to show that any mistakes we have made in the past do not define who we truly are. Great watch. ❤

[@WorldsStrongestBarber]

❤

[@PurpleMetro33]

Man's an inspiration, he's paying back to society, a real asset to the UK

[@scottdduk22]

Never a dull podcast your killing it mate

[@garysides636]

Awesome interview .....its who this lad has become not what he's done before. I wish him well in this strongman journey

[@pauld3638]

AN absolute inspiration , what a really great guy. We have all made mistakes I have had fights and lost it etc and you always wonder if they are going to wake up. Go Lewis you star!

[@AdvisoryExcellence]

Strong interview (pun intended). Lewis came across really well and articulated his journey in a way that many will understand.

[@charlesbarratt384]

What an achievement from being as down and helpless as you can get to becoming the positive man he is today. Keep spreading the word Lewis all the best for the future

[@Aw88-]

Can relate to this story went from doing jail all time last 5 years broke me kids and bodybuilding changed my outlook gone 9 years now out of trouble big respect to this guy ❤

I just found this podcast after watching the Ambrose, who shot Frank Warren episode,I'm looking forward to getting into the channel... Brilliant to see Dodge actually do what many hosts say they do but don't and go thru the comments...says a lot Dodge...good man!!!

[@kevinfletcher7471]

Dodge the interviews just keep getting better , look forward to seeing you hit 100k subs great style of interviewing on topics mainstream doesn't want to know.👍

[@DodgeWoodall]

Nice one Kevin 🙏

[@griffboy]

This was great, was glued the whole way through.

[@philjoyce6667]

[@theroamingcook]

Absolute quality mate. This was my favourite episode so far. Love seeing someone turn a negative into a positive

[@DodgeWoodall]

Glad you enjoyed Gary 😊

[@Milne85]

You are a very talented interviewer mate, you let the guest talk and have a way of getting people to open up to you. Cheers.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Kind words buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

[@abdulrahman-vz1lu]

Great listen. Get this man in schools up and down the country.

[@seamus9750]

Such an uplifting story...hope the movie deal is made.

[@jdotm8917]

Saw this bloke at englands strongest man last year in Warrington had no idea about his past though what a gent good luck mate

[@paulmoore1559]

Sadly far to many will not seize the early opportunity to change the path they're starting on, after listening to your story there is no doubt that you will be able to steer at least a few in the right direction, all they need is a light at the start of the tunnel instead of the end when its all to often to late, well done mate I wish you well 👍

[@joncook1888]

Tremendous podcast. Great speaking, soooo powerful big man. ❤

[@DodgeWoodall]

Nice one Jon and agree Lew speaks very well 👌🏼

[@chrisharris5497]

What an incredible heartbreaking as well as inspirational story, some parents really don't realise how they can shape and screw up their kids lives during those early years. From what I hear in this though Lewis wouldn't put the blame on anyone but himself but there definitely are other culpable people in this story. I'm so pleased he's through the other side of the dark tunnel he went through and now is achieving things that most people can only dream of. Massive respect Lewis and all best wishes for your strongman future and once again Dodge, you've knocked it out the ballpark mate . 👍⚒⚒⚒

[@DodgeWoodall]

Nice one Chris 🙏

[@NinnersNanners]

As a Mum to a lad who has ADHD and Tic Disorder, watching this interview was amazing! It goes to show that you can always change your future and it’s never too late to rectify your behaviour ❤

Should the title of this episode not read One PUNCH (and then stamping on a mans head until he was dead) Changed My Life, UK’s Strongest Man: Lewis Packham

[@SpencerF6]

Exactly, he doesn't even mention one punch. He also broke a woman's leg, well it pretty much was confirmed by him in a round about way.

[@jimbobjameshecks]

Im 7years out on licence 10 ipp nice to hear it straight !! appreciation for the honesty guys geniune and it shown wish him well !! Gr8 content as always !!

[@DodgeWoodall]

Nice one for the message and glad you enjoyed 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jonparkhouse920]

Dodge!! Brilliant interviewing technique. You seem to be able to ask all the questions the public want to ask! Top man. Lewis was such an honest guy. He's been able to deal with his deamons and past actions. I hope he does indeed become the Worlds Strongest Man. But if he doesnt im sure he will thrive. Hooe he gets the chance to reunite with his boy. Well done guys.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Thanks Jon 💪🏼

#ADHD Massive subject the older generation never got the diagnosis as it was never recognised and led a dark path i was always called a squaddies brat. Fair play to this guy for getting himself in a good place after all he been through!!Always bringing great content!!👏🙏🇬🇧

Class that!

[@philatkinson2562]

What a nice lad class watch take care pal smashing it

[@rayanderson6848]

Another solid role model for the kids !

[@mbmountainexperiences]

Great story... the opposite effect of medication is called paradoxical. Eg sedatives making people high or stimulant calming people down.

[@lewisfriend1705]

As someone diagnosed with adult ADHD (as common as it is now) I consider myself lucky I didn’t end up going down the wrong path, I wasn’t diagnosed until last year, but I can understand how someone could end up in a disastrous position. Thank the lord I had firm parents, close friends and teachers that could see the better side of me that painfully invested their time into growing me…If you knew my career path you would be astounded by how a disruptive, cocky, gobby kid could end up in such an positive position. From the first 5 minutes of this podcast I related to this story! Just remember people, you do have control of you life and things can and will get better if you want it to truly happen… ☺️

[@robbiehodson1191]

Another good one Dodge. Random guest suggestion. Jordan McCann. Think he done about 12 years but is now out and is a rapper. Very talented if that’s what ur into. Not seen him on anything else Not sure your criteria to be a quest but he defo has a story to tell.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Glad you enjoyed our honest chat Robbie. Do you know Jordan? 👍🏼👍🏼

I have ADHD autism and Aniexty disorder . I am on concerta XL 36mg and I understand with how school life of being told of being disruptive I am 21 now and still on the meds . Was diagnosed at 11

[@Milne85]

It’s not something people grow out of as you will know from your own experience yet on the nhs they say they don’t diagnose people for ADD or ADHD if they’re adults. It’s ridiculous init.

[@hollygriffiths5442]

No that is true . Yeah it is silly for adults to not be diagnosed easily for ADD or ADHD

[@pits2039]

Although my 1st thought was 6 years is far too lenient for internationally looking for violence and then almost killing somebody… Lewis is living proof rehabilitation can work. I have the utmost respect for anyone who can acknowledge their mistakes and do something positive from then onwards. 👍

[@matty1597]

Trust

[@seanswatton5920]

Great podcast. Followed Lewis’s journey for a little while now. Sadly I believe he’s currently back in prison.

[@BoSSLeVeLs]

Crazy thing is if he had walked away that night and police never got him He wouldn’t be the man he is now Prison basically saved him life’s mental

This sounds like the true meaning of prisoner reform

[@turloughoconnor]

That's a question for Dodge , you wouldn't get away with this in mainstream media , but in the wild west that is youtube - anything goes.

[@Milne85]

Dodge have you thought about getting Freddie foreman on if it’s at all possible, my old man (rip) knew him.

Would love to get Freddie on 👌🏼

Good luck to him

[@gagiman7273]

What a terrible bully of a man,just looking for trouble, should of been 20 years

[@rstevens7711]

The court reporting at the time, and the judge's comments, don't support some of what has been said. The reference to the female breaking her leg was from a different incident. She wasn't there when he nearly killed the lad and left him with permanent brain damage. Packham, and two others, followed the girl and her boyfriend from a party and he attacked the boy and pushed the girl over and broke her ankle. The other 2 also assaulted the male. This was a different incident to the one he has mentioned here. For the assault on the girl and her boyfriend the judge described Packham as showing no remorse whatsoever. He has been very successful since he left prison. The wider community should be pleased that he appears to be no longer a threat to them. But I'm not sure that he shows full responsibility for what he did. Was it really '6 of one, half a dozen the other?' Not according to court reports. The court reports and newspaper reports and witness statements indicate that Packham was a small-town bully. Most bullies just annoy people and make other citizens shy away from them. Packham didn't do that as a young man. He physically bullied and intimidated innocent people. Even his stories of prison life seem to indicate he liked the reputation he thinks he had. I hope he has changed.

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

Yep and threatening people even now on facebook ffs.

[@jimbobjameshecks]

Imagine Lewis barbers called con hair ✂️ 1 princess tuna a fade 😳 kettle currys on tap lol the memories 😆

[@briandoherty245]

seven weeks earlier, Packham, 19, had unleashed another attack on a complete stranger - punching a man and pushing his girlfriend to the ground, causing her to break her ankle. This week, Packham starting a 10-year jail term for his vicious crimes. Bournemouth Crown Court heard how Packham “was out looking for a fight” when he attacked Mr Tuckwell on the night of July 8 last year. The victim was walking home when he was knocked to the ground by Packham, who punched him twice.

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

And now hes on the roids. Not at all worrying

[@matthewsalmon8194]

Enjoyed this podcast but your caption is a bit unfair on the victim. According to the story he repeatedly stamped on his head..so its not right to claim it was one punch.
