[@johnayala2540]

@@mrspilling7664 I see your point about labeling someone with their job title but a person who's not that well known all over the world, it helps to identify them with their achievements or something that the individual was identified with.

What a man. I wish everyone gets to watch this episode some day.

[@sophie.saunders]

There's so much to take away from this conversation but for me one of the most beautiful moments was witnessing two men talk so openly about how it feels to be in love. It made me realise how little I had seen this in my life. We see women talk of being in love but rarely men. I so appreciate Patrice and Stephen being so open ... it really was so beautiful

What an amazing guest Patrice Evra turned out to be! It’s amazing to see so many of our male childhood heroes come out an speak about these things 👏

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

🙌🏽 glad you're enjoying

[@HeidiDream]

This is so powerful. For a male to speak on his abuse. This is a very powerful podcast. Everything.

[@dod10YT]

Evra is an amazing human. Always liked him as a player but what an inspirational yet humble person. Great interview. This is coming from an LFC fan.

[@roberttungoe9840]

Liverpool fan, but admired him as a player. As much as I hate losing against them, I admired those Sir Alex last decade days with Cr7, Patrice etc. He's not only a great player but a kind human being till this day. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing Patrice. My respect for him has gone up the roof and beyond. What a man, what a player he was

[@dansanjames9413]

This helped me open up about my childhood abuse. Thankyou Patrice Evra for telling your story you are a legend, much love.

Holy fk man... who was it that did that to you?? (I swear not te be rude but to be aware of who those awful ppl can be and behind what identity they can be hiding)

Notes and quotes from the podcast: "I don't want to be perfect, I want to be me" "If you share, it will show the value in sharing. If we share, we will liberate ourselves" "Be yourself, live your life, live in the present"

[@melowndes]

This has been my favourite episode in the 2 months I have started watching various episodes. Touching, moving, inspiring. I don't like the term "toxic masculinity". I am a woman who suffered from the same thing. You don't cry when you hurt yourself. So many suppressed emotions. So much hidden. Gradually over many years in adult life learning to be myself, actually learning, coming to know/trust who I am. Your podcasts are helping me Steve. And I have been wanting to lead men to have the sort of conversations you had with Patrice. I am so happy to see men themselves leading the way on this. And both of you exhibit self-belief and commitment to what you love and believe in in. Yes. Realising that you are leading on everyone who listens in a journey towards more open and honest communication and sharing between everyone.

[@christianswift13]

Holy..... Patrice Evra... What a revelation. A gentle soul clad in warrior's armor

[@lydiaogbes5677]

Powerful interview. I am so impressed with Steven Bartlett, and how he is able to put people at ease with his questions and make them so comfortable that they are willing to share their most intimate secrets and pain with him. This is the second time watching him and the first time was his interview with Patricia Bright. I feel like Steven Bartlett, can be a great therapist and will be a great interviewer like Oprah Winfrey. His style, empathy, understanding, sensitivity, rapport and down to earth nature, puts people at ease. Awesome interview!

[@H99x2]

Grew up watching Evra as a physical strong guy on the pitch. This shows he's even stronger outside of football. Great interview Steve!

Just when I thought that the podcast couldnt get any better.. it does! I appreciate hosts like Steven who allow guests to speak and asks questions based on what they are being told and not just a list of things to tick off in a podcast. Its like he hosts and is listening like a consumer at the same time. Real skill. Thank you for the consistent gift which is 'Diary of a CEO'!!!

[@Matt_MD93]

I’m a united fan and I love everything about Patrice, his loyalty, dedication, respect, funny and charismatic personality but this just adds another level of respect that I and millions will now have for him, what a man!! We love you Patrice 🔴 🔴

[@justineking7253]

I thank you from a single woman in her early 50s that you are bringing a wonderful new view forth for men to be open, not feel weak, realise they can speak their truth without feeling weak……… many are so very closed off and it can be a devastating dealbreaker Being transparent in a relationship is essential…… your work is truly refreshing and inspirational, long my it continue xx♥️🙏

[@mickandtraceycope7826]

Hearing Patrice live out his life and thoughts through your questions was powerful. He made me a little nervous sometimes...but that's just from living life on the streets...as his proudest moments told me more of what kind of a person he is. His lady knows exactly what he needs. A great person, a great heart, an exceptional interview. 👏 👏🙏

That was so deeply emotional, moving and inspiring. There’s something so pure about men being vulnerable. With Patrice Evra, the more you look, the more you see, he has so much depth. And I must commend you Steve, for being unafraid and confident in asking probing questions in a safe way. I have a feeling that during this interview, you and Patrice probably didn’t even remember the cameras were there? That was so intimate. Thank you 🙏🏿

Revealing, heart-felt and incredibly inspiring. Patrice, thank you for your vulnerability. Steve, these just keep getting better and better. Listened to your book over the weekend and found it inspiring, raw and beautifully open. I've recommended it to my 24 year-old son who recently joined the family business (a tech company) and I know will benefit from your words of wisdom. I'm so glad you are owning your talent for bringing out the best in others through these interviews.

[@topsysdad1]

How brave, how courageous to share the story of his abuse, from this he still goes on to become an incredible professional footballer. The message I take is that no matter what trauma, what shame we encounter, we all have within us the ability to pursue our dreams, our goals

Glad I saved this to watch later at night.. No fan of football but Man! His story about his happiest times sums up the joy most children in impoverished countries feel. I would know cos I was one of those kids... clothes torn, unsure where next meal was coming from, struggles at home but there's a sense of joy that's inexplicable even in such circumstances. Patrice, you spoke for me and most people who have felt that Joy in the not so ideal circumstances Thank you! 😊

[@piercetravers7677]

I’m a city fan. Patrice’s story is inspiring he strips away all of any ego he has, let’s us into his vulnerabilities and also showcases how u can get through the toughest things imaginable. Can’t say enough how much I respect the man for saying all that he has said here because I myself would shut down I bottle things up. Patrice opened his heart and mind to us and I respect it so much. Also Steven loving all the interviews I know this is from a while ago but u really know how and when to talk and when to let a guest speak. As an aspiring journalist and somebody who wants to make podcasts ur a great inspiration.

[@lizmcgrath7552]

Steven is the best interviewer! He really lets his guest speak freely ❤

[@Aetos23]

Evra is a great guy. He was great in dressing room as well. He didn't have toxic masculinity. Being focused and not emotional while working isn't weakness. We should all express our emotions, but not always. Balance is most important thing in life.

Beautiful, such a simple soul with a simple message. One of love, inspiration and simple joy of life. A warrior who got what he deserved, a good means to survive and lots of love and an open mind to grow into an even brighter future. Through this podcast I get to love and feel a deep friendship for people that are strangers to me before listening to them (even if I know them a little through media) . It is a huge inspiration and creates a strong desire to meet up and be more connected. Everyone has these amazing stories, it's just about telling them and listening to them. Thank you so much for hosting and having this project and for participating. Wonderful brothers you 2, much love!

[@cavallopazzo340]

Wow! So powerful.. The depth in this podcast is unbelievable. The thing about masculinity is a difficult one. I often ask myself what it means to be a man and I often go back to this territorial behavior and being the protector etc, which clashes with letting go of your ego and letting things flow, which is obviously beneficial on a spiritual and mental level. I haven't found the right way to combine these two things. Does anyone have any insights?

[@therealist2000]

I find myself asking the same question (tears atm) haha

[@Chewjitsu05589]

Not particularly the biggest football fan growing up, but I occasionally would sit down and watch football with my family when I wasn’t occupied elsewhere. I remember seeing a fantastic player in this man but after hearing his story makes me feel so sorry for him. Decent people in this world get dealt with a bad card and it’s not fair. The fact that he experienced a traumatic experience and just point blank put it behind him and still managed to carry on to play a professional career in football takes a lot of mental strength and courage. I’m glad he had a platform to finally address the issues he’s had. I wish him well.

[@GridTalkUK]

I feel much the same way as you mentioned. As a United fan I thought I 'knew' Evra - the happy guy, the funny guy. He really is an iceberg. This has given me a whole new perspective on him as a person, and that incredible United era. Thank you for doing this interview how you did.

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

I know right it blew my mind! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽

[@GridTalkUK]

@@TheDiaryOfACEO yeah this podcast has been on my mind for hours since watching! So many things, like there was basically no 'selling' of his book, but from just listening to that conversation I'm compelled to go and buy it. And as a fan I'm even more depressed about the current state of things, as when you hear from Evra, and when you had Rio on previously, you can see we're a million miles away from the standard and mindset Sir Alex instilled in the whole club. Maybe you can have all the old United players on 😂 Would love to see a chat with Berba or van Nistelrooy.

[@innerpeacewithdenise111]

Wow you 2 thank you so much. What beautiful examples of sacred masculinity you are. You may still have remnants, fibres of toxic masculinity inside you but you are leading from the heart and that’s where it all begins. The vulnerability, the depth and the self awareness you shared with us was beautiful and touched my heart deeply. What an amazing conversation, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

A child without a father is a very vulnerable person in the world. People tend to think they can do whatever they want to that child because they tend to think there is no consequence, there isn't anyone to be afraid of. And in most cases, mums are easily manipulated so the offender will often weasel their way out of any issues.
