One of the best podcast episodes I've ever watched. Was hooked on every word. Such a good storyteller and interesting man to listen to.

[@ethankinsler4411]

the guests jack gets on the show is unbelievable, having youtubers is fine but that’s what most podcasts do now a days. i find people like Raphael and the cop you had on much more fascinating as the stories they tell are so unique

[@georgef1936]

I know Raphael from the TV series, but had no idea on how big his backstory is. Truly an amazing, courageous man. The fact he has done so well now and looks so well is incredible. Such an incredible fighter and someone who never gave up. This guy's own life is more interesting then the show where he is presenter!

[@squarerootof2]

This is the backstory: "For the better understanding of those who have listened to this judgment and of those who may report it hereafter this is not a finding of innocence, far from it." Rowe, Davis and Johnson, from Sydenham, south London, were jailed for three violent robberies committed in the early hours of December 16, 1988. One led to the death of a hairdresser, Peter Hurburgh, who was dragged at gunpoint from his car, tied up, beaten and doused with petrol. He had a heart attack. Timothy Napier, 40, was stabbed when three men broke into his father's house in Oxted, Surrey. Later, three men also broke into a house in Fetcham, Surrey, and demanded jewellery, cash and car keys. Their weapons included a machete and a gun. This guy is guilty af and was released on a technicality. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M25_Three

[@rhy27]

​@@squarerootof2I listened to him on 'diary of a ceo', the three men who broke into and tied up the victims.. were identified by them, as one black and two white men. Have a listen, he explains towards the end the difficulties he had with the courts to even get a hearing and eventually win his appeal.

He’s got that same gift Trevor Noah has, from firsthand experience, but pulled out a worldly understanding of human nature from all angles!

I learned of Trevor just before he became famous in the U.S. I’m sure Raphael is not long from being famous in the U.S.!!
