why was i crying with laughter when spencer described the carrot situation. fuck that was too funny

[@Elle-rw3se]

I feel like I’m catching up with old mates ❤

[@MegaSuzukiGirl]

I had a preconceived idea of what Spencer Matthews was like from MIC and this totally changed my mind. Well done Jamie for leading the discussion that’s made me realise he’s a genuine, hardworking and driven bloke. Loving the podcast still, keep up the good work 👊🏼👍🏻💪🏼

[@jimbob2826]

The first few seasons of made in Chelsea were amazing to watch

[@Dominic-mm6yf]

Yeah went down hill after 2019.

[@nicelady333]

He is exceptional, articulate and I really respect his sobriety . Thank you for this. Good on him! Inspirational x 👌🏼

[@Lee33006]

Spencer is a great guy, please get him on more!!

[@andreahoward7309]

OMG!! How have I only just found you??? I loved Spenny & Jamie anyway, my fave MICs ever!! But hearing about his struggle with alcohol. I felt like he was describing me, except am not so posh!! 😂 love you boys and am definitely readdressing my turbulent relationship with alcohol. Best podcast ever 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@starsigngirl9789]

This was a brilliant interview ❤ Jamie’s interview skills are brilliant he’s very lovable and Spencer is genuinely very self aware and a typical leo 😂xxx

[@paulamcfadden3455]

What a fantastic chat guys, it was amazing 🙌🙌🙌 thank you 🙏🏻

[@94leinad94]

Thanks for this - I also struggled with alcohol and drinking but was doing well so didn't think I had a problem and was too young. Glad I'm not the only person in their twenties who had an issue. I'm sober 4 years now too :)

[@clairelaydon3097]

Thanks for saying that means a lot to likes of me xx

[@julespowell4896]

Have only just found your podcasts. Thanks to KZbin suggesting it. Thanks, Jamie for all the things I learned and all the laughs. Thank you so much.

[@privatepodcast]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for tuning in 💛

[@ZPM18]

You and Spencer where my favourites on the show always very entertaining and great characters

[@deeshan9844]

The fact Spencer is wearing a "Babar is skiing" shirt is giving me life 😄 I loved the original MIC. Both Spencer and Jamie have matured wonderfully.

[@amiesquire123]

Been listening since day one - getting your close friends on are always the best. We love you spenny ❤

[@MCrvngraddip2013]

I have a real interest in mountaineering and I couldn't believe it when I made the connection to Spencer. I really felt for him and his family. It gave me a different perspective. I hope he finds peace and fulfilment in his life. Also I loved those first few series of MIC. Hugo was my dream bloke 😂😂

[@emms4867]

Strangely I only watched your first pp podcast with Spencer yesterday, Ive been going through older ones as Im off work for a bit haha. Remember watching you guys on MIC when it first aired I must have been about 14. Love the podcasts 😊

[@gemma9249]

I have an incredible amount of love and respect for you both, so level headed and honest, when MIC portrayed you both in the opposite way. ❤

[@psycloneranger2279]

mic wasnt real it was scripted duh

[@Dobby-1611]

Have always loved the podcast but the more serious ones are a joy to listen to. I heard the Big Fish podcast where Spencer interviewed you and they are equally great. Thankyou both for being so honest its refreshing.

[@user-fm8br2my4n]

Fascinating, really enjoyed this

[@dianefleming7344]

You two have come a long way since MIC. Wishing each of you even more success in the future.

[@harrylederman1679]

Absolutely amazing to see you two guys reminiscing because I was watching you in your prime when the show was amazingly good and I thought it was all authentic.... Spencer was like a rockstar to me the way he moved from girl to girl... The antics were questionable but it was really really interesting and very watchable and ratings here in Australia with Fantastical start

[@nicolab4996]

Boss episode, and regarding the drinking although VERY different circumstances the actual premise, and reasoning mirrors my life and thoughts. Such food for thought. Thanks. Love you both x

[@leeshc5952]

Watching from the states. I was able to watch MIC ages ago, and this was so nice to see Spencer during this interview!

[@demieallport1761]

This was great!

[@harryhearn4403]

Once chocked on a Malteser. Remember it clear as day, a chubby little 10 year old boy enjoying a big box of Maltesers whilst watching Rey Masterio land one of the sweetest 619's in history. The chubby greedy boy jumps up in joy, to find the Malteser in my chocolate covered mouth had the opposite idea and sank to the middle of my throat. At 10 my brain barely functioned fixated on Rey Masterios celebration I snap out and realise the trouble I'm in. I begin the bang on the coffee table next to me which lures my father down the stairs. The moment he clocks what's happening the man turns into the tasmanian devil and leaves nothing in his way to get to me. A couple of thrusts to the stomach later, I'm free. I can breathe. To hear "chew your food you greedy chubby boy' was a pleasant surprise. Big show was up next.

[@annarosetarot]

love you both 💕I must admit spencer's documentary about his brother was really heartfelt..... 😞bless him x great chat x

[@Bartizzle739]

Great podcast really enjoyed it. It’s good seeing the real side of both of you lol. Also forgot how funny spencer is 😂

[@clairelaydon3097]

So interesting Spencer talking about alcohol. I'm three months sober and it's interesting to me x

Spencer has come a long way. Saw the film amazing

[@nc6894]

Imagine how brilliant this podcast is…and Sophie and Melissa are wondering did Melissa’s boyfriend wanna go skiing with her 😂😂😂

[@Loobylooto2]

Ive subscribed as Ive been binging all morning Didn’t think I liked many of the people interviewed but ended up with a new perspective of them after listening in I don’t likespencer on mic but I know I’m going to by the end of the interview Great job Jamie ,you turned out well 🎉

[@louisemay8140]

Just an observation but perhaps Spencer has a different mindset to the guy who was sober for 18 years and still attended AA meetings because Spencer wasn't necessarily an 'addict'. As you suggested, perhaps it was simply boredom and a bad habit hence why he doesn't feel the need for peer support or therapy and hasn't been counting the days since his last drink? And great episode, I really enjoyed it!

[@dijonjones1691]

Spencer you are my hero that's all I have to say on that

[@daisymaisy4877]

Great lads👍👍

[@vickytimmins]

It sounds so bad to say but the very detailed explanation of his choking incident made me laugh! It was just so descriptive, especially to anyone who’s ever experienced a choking incident- it was so on point!!! Terrifying tho!

[@jahnome]

Producer Phil should have a made a cameo 😂

[@sineadgriffin6587]

NEED to know where Spencer’s jumper is from 😍🔥

[@sregan5415]

This interview was great, re-watching now. Jaimie's comment about wealth shows me how very few people are "rich rich" though. Like, Mark-Francis Vandelli is elite rich/posh. The fact that Jaimie and Spencer have always had to work shows that they're not that rich/posh. When Spencer entered MIC saying he was a broker, I was like: how elite, a banker. But when he tells the story about it, he was working with mostly Essex boys - it wasn't like he was a hedgefund manager for Goldman Sachs. These guys are upper-middle class, as opposed to upper class, as MIC bills them. Nothing wrong with that ofc, and they're obvs not regular Joes (his sister-in-law is Pippa Middleton fgs), but.. they're not upper class.

[@beatmakee5160]

He’s down to earth but his dad has a net worth of 2 billion dollars so pretty rich. I don’t know if his parents gave him any money though

[@vickytimmins]

Up and coming I’d say. Thats how the upper move tiers.

[@KMikael796]

Great podcast. Gonna take a shot in the dark and say based on your stories about New York and also it being NYC...there was more than just alcohol coming in to play while you were there. Not gonna spell it out but IYKYK

[@fodaydumbuya7630]

this was sick!

[@nataliabirchall9093]

He always reminds me of Ricky gervais

[@tarabrown740]

Spencer!

[@relocatetoItaly]

Spenny reminded me how my life was as a 39 year old as a trader and then portfolio manager in London and our nights out. I have such fond memories of London and the restaurants we frequented most of which don't exist anymore. I wasnt a drinker but still had an absolute ball. Miss that London.

[@nkosiguduza2131]

Yo man saved himself from choking by jumping in the air and landing on his back 'that's a big man'. Applause, love y'all.

[@Joey-qc8qf]

Spencer is a cool guy

[@joanneadair9227]

"I just don't care anymore, I'm just going to eat the carrots" Jesus Spencer, if you're going to choke to death on "I just don't care any more" kind of food, at least do it on a bucket of chicken and a dozen kitkats. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@fishhugify]

please bring spencer back soon to talk about Michael (Matthews)

[@susancollins4774]

Good podcast.

What a pair of melts 😂😂

[@folakeoladini4539]

And the drugs let's be honest

[@Rosedale153]

Spencer, however much he tries to be subtle about it, will always be a bragger. The way he tells a story, he always has to drop in how he’s done it better than someone, or in harsher conditions, or against more odds. His ego is just huge, and its really grating. I dunno how Jamie puts up with it

Near death experience? Hardly. apart from that the was enjoyable as I hated these two in MIC but now they're older they have mellowed into pretty decent men.

But sometimes, you have to full, off the wagon. To really appreciate sobriety. True, man. Ask Trueman.

[@niamhwatson]

I just listened to the interview he did with Caroline Hirons and OMG, it was terrible!!, he REALLY needs to practice and learn a thing or two from Jamie. I guess not everyone can have a podcast. She's such an interesting person and has such a good sense of humor, he could've got SO much out of it. Wasted opportunity.

[@Lifegrowsonandon]

hard to raise money.. not when your brother is a bloody hedge fund manager

[@andrewstorm8240]

Margins must have been easy and fat for open expenses and drinking session

[@wonderwoman5528]

I think Spencer would benefit from giving therapy another go. I can see his hard front of insecurity, masked by arrogance. Obviously his childhood was detrimental in some ways - being tossed aside by parents and left in boarding school after a family tragedy. Therapy requires honesty and vulnerability, and Spencer is too scared to ever embrace these qualities.

[@BeeBee10]

I totally disagree. Can't see why you think he is insecure or arrogant. He sounds comfortable, happy, level headed and he knows what he's got and what he wants. Thumbs up Spence! 👍

[@OneDaveAtaTime]

Strange judgemental unsupportive comment. Feels like it’s coming from a place of jealousy but why? Are you scared to say what that motivation is? Doh now I’m copying Wonder Woman’s prejudice 😅

[@wonderwoman5528]

@@OneDaveAtaTime sorry if my comment came across judgmental. I do like to psychoanalyse and I think conversations like these never get to the root of the problem. Why, if he’s married with kids, did he drink too much? Why wasn’t that enough, and what was causing the unhappiness…?I think a good therapist would be useful.

[@jaypsgames6724]
