Listen to the first thing he says... “any young people listening, don’t think this is the correct road to go on”, spot on mate.

Agreed. 👍💯

[@zacbro2841]

This guy is 1 out of 1000 people who has an interesting story to tel and is still here in sound mind to tell it, that’s what the kids don’t realise.

[@e4billyb]

And he's bang on, I've never been anywhere near this guys level, but just dealing with kilos of coke, it leads to nothing good, people die, homes get destroyed, family's tore apart, even the good times, they are good times spent waiting for the bad times, the weed game is soo much more pleasant lol 🤷‍♂️

[@graemeking4178]

Big respect mate,one of the most interesting stories I've hered Andrew fasinating to here your side of it bud, also your not a Evil guy just a likeable rouge who was very successful Andrew mate big respect bud👊😎

[@punkysauras]

Never comment but this is by far the best podcast guest youve had, no stupid unbelievable stories, no over inflated ego, never claimed to kick a police van door straight off its hinges, very very intelligent man who wouldve made it to the top in probably any field

[@JamesEnglish]

😉

[@mccumiskey87]

Yep Andrew doesn't come across as a stereotypical Rough tough Gangster. He comes across very shrewd intelligent & cunning individual. As you say I think he's the type of character that would have done well at anything if he put his mind to it because you can tell by listening to him he has drive & ambition ( instilled in him from his parents) . I like the way he pointed out at the start of thee interview to anyone thinking about going down this route don't do it coz it will catch up with you at some point. I hope this guy stays on the straight & narrow & isn't dragged back into the life by someone dangling some carrots under his nose, but if he's anyway smart which he seems to be he'll leave that well alone. If he was to get caught again smuggling he'd be in for even bigger bird! Not worth sacrificing ones freedom noway.

[@betterireland1]

In my opinion , The reason he seems normal and down to earth is because he was a lover of dance music and xtc, And had a love for the music before he fell in love with the drugs. The xtc / Rave scene changed good people into bad people and the xtc turned bad people into good people, But the music and love for it broke down barriers,

[@dagnut]

He's not wrapped up in his own ego and insecurities like others because he's not a spoofer.

i noticed this , it’s great not having him interrupt as you can properly visualise the story being told

[@iOmgTom]

You can only do this when the guest is a great story teller. Some guests can't tell stories for shit so need help with questions to draw out more information.

Yeah most of the time I hear gangster interviews and they say "I could have been a legitimate businessman and millionaire if I wasn't on the streets" I think it's absolute bullshit, but this guy is clearly super astute with an amazing business mind.

[@roycropper698]

What an amazing podcast. Not to slate other guests but, Andrew seems to be the only guest who truly doesn’t want the life of smuggling/crime to be glamourised. He’s lived his life (and got extremely lucky) yet, doesn’t want the youth of today getting involved in a life of crime.

[@dannybdjb5852]

Only just found James, doing the binge on all his content. What I like about James is he just lets the guests speak without interrupting to much asking good questions without judgement. Love it cheers James for real good stuff.

[@c3ktlc3ktl85]

How much cleaner as it gotta be b4 it sinks into the mindset of today’s youth. Andrew as told a story of misery destruction and regret. He was lucky he came out the other side alive. Deception jealousy informants, describes the criminal fraternity in 3 words. My dad said to get nice things in life you have to work for them, he’s 80 today n came to England from Jamaica in 1959, worked the same job until he retired at 63, he installed the same work ethic into my mindset at 17, even though he was divorced from my mother. I’ve passed the same work ethic onto my 25yr old and 13 yr old daughters. The working man will always be a winner. Who really wants to spend years of their life behind bars to achieve getting nice things. Health and family are worth more than any amount of money 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇯🇲
