“But that's what I mean. So, all you have to do is have that conversation. But that will take you having that conversation. I always say I do a lot of talks for businesses about mental health. I always leave it with, you know, go away today, choose three people in your phone book that you speak to regularly. Ask them, are they okay, but do it twice? And that's something that I learned from a group of lads who had lost their mate. They now look after each other by asking at the beginning of the conversation, are you okay, have the conversation and then just go back to it and be like, so tell me, are you okay? Choose three people, do that 2K rule on them, and tell me that you haven't found something new from at least one of those people. It's so messed up for us as a society.”

“So, why is the kind of push always, oh, if you're feeling depressed, you should talk. No. That's the last thing I want to do. If anything, you're going to make me revert more, right? You're going to go make me go back more. The pressure should be placed on us as friends to make that call and to make that conversation happen with anyone that you would ever suspect. Even if you don't suspect it, make sure. How sure are you? How sure are you of the people in your phone book or your close friends that they're not thinking these thoughts?”

“But now that I've spoken to you about it, and that you're not, because that's the problem is that all of the guys that I spoke to said to me, they were like, Didn't think mental health was his thing, was a Didn't think what I was going through was depression, thought I was just. Rubbish, and thought I wasn't where I wanted to be in life, just wanted that to end. That's the realization of it. And again, it's that thing of, you know, it's a topic that no one really wants to talk about and is also why I was so adamant that the worst, okay, this is the worst thing, right, is if you're in that state, your mate's in that state, right? The last thing he wants to do is talk to you about that.”

“No matter how much that clarity is there and you feel like you're escaping a problem, you are passing that on to someone else. And that's what's left behind you.

“But the problem is that no matter what pain that person is feeling in that moment, no matter what pain you're going through in your head or sadness, you do not get rid of that by taking your own life. All you are doing is you are transferring it to everyone around you and you're transferring that on average 180 people get affected by one singular suicide. And that is what you are doing. And it's just a fact, you know, like for... Two months. I absolutely hated Joe. I hated him. After he died, I felt quite cold because I was just like. How could you do that? I felt like how could you leave me, your mom, your dad, your sister? How could you do that? How could you let someone find you? Like, do you know what I mean? So it's in that that you realize that.”

“When they felt like, okay, I'm going to do this, and everything will stop. But the problem is that that's not the answer. And it's really not. And when I speak to, you know, in the documentary, I speak to Joe's mum, give you mine, this is three months after her son has passed away. And she's had to be told that her son, who she's raised, has taken his own life. She sums it up in such an amazing way, which is kind of touching on a very dangerous topic of... Selfishness around suicide, which a lot of people don't want to talk about, but it's the truth, which is Suicide isn't necessarily a selfish act by that person.”

“It's a very strange place to be. It's an actual break. They call it a mental breakdown for a reason because I can't, your whole mind just blanks. And that's the same thing that I've spoken to a lot of people that have attempted to take their own life. And they all say the same thing. Those moments that you have are completely like. Just so intense that your mind goes implodes and you don't even know. And that's why a lot of men will tell you that when If they take it to that step, which is a huge step to decide, okay, I'm going to save my own life. A lot of men go, that was my happiest moment because I felt like in that time I was in control of my life Which is a really scary thought and a really sad thought. They feel like the biggest amount of clarity that they've ever had in their life and the moment where they felt at peace.”

“My own life, I'll just kill myself. That's honestly how I felt because I was like, that's the only way to stop this. And then, as you said, my mum called me and she kept me on the phone for about an hour because I was at the house. And in my head, I was like, I'll just go to the train station and just jump in front of a train. That's honestly what went through my head. And then it's like at that point, I was like, okay, fine. And then I speak to my mom and my mom got there within an hour and we just kind of... Do you know what? I don't even remember her getting that.”

“A million times. The only way also that I talk about it is like it's like paranoia and it's like mic your brain becomes Mike Tyson and he's just beating you up and you've not had one boxing lesson in your life.

“Any business or any school has to sign a health and safety declaration, right? And that's how it is. They all have to sign a piece of paper that says, if you hurt yourself here, we'll sign that. 100% of schools up and down the country sign that. There is also a declaration of mental health, right, where a school has to look after a kid if the traumatic event happens within school. They have to make sure that their mental health is looked after. In the UK 2% of schools have signed that. So, you're saying that 98% of schools up and down the UK look at mental health and go, nothing to do with us. School is the most dramatic time in anyone's life. If parents knew that, if parents knew that schools don't care about your kids.”

“Trap people in their homes in the way that obviously they did do and not think about the mental health side of things because they haven't. They completely ignored it. Like the government completely ignored how much of a problem mental health will be during the pandemic, people being on their own, not being able to go about their lives. And also the trauma that's going to have later on in life for kids. I learnt a stat the other day that is horrendous, right? And this is something that, you know, when I was asked, will I go out and make another documentary? And I think for this stat I want to, because I can't quite believe it.”

It's our own kind of fault, you know, the pressures that we put on ourselves to be the person that we want to be, to have the body that we want to, to have the things that we want and to have the job, the family, you know, even the pressure that I put on myself to have the family that I should have.

Everyone's saying to me, wow, social media, isn't it? There's social media. The fastest is not. Like, social media is there, yes. And it can, you know, create a trigger or anything like that for someone that may be feeling down. I don't think it's the sole purpose. I can also be madly inspired by social media. I can also be made to feel really, really happy by social media. I think the main problem with men is purely down to...”

“And people watched it. And I think that's why, you know, I realized after that, shit, like. It is one, it's everywhere, and two, there is no way of telling. So therefore, the only people that can help those people are their friends And that's what the documentary is not a documentary about suicide, it's a documentary about friendship and how we now have to take ownership of our mates.”

“And look, when I, when it came to making the documentary, Joe died in August, I started making that doc in November. Months, right? Because one, all I know how to do is through creative stuff. My writing's like, you know what I mean? Write something down. I'm not going to lobby government because I don't know how to do that. Do you know all those types of things? I just know how to make something. And I knew also selfishly, I knew that if I do a doc, I'm going to be able to meet people that have tried to take their own life. I'm going to be able to meet psychiatrists. I'm going to be able to meet professors and learn the science because I was so convinced in my head. I was like, I need to know all the things that I need to be looking out for for my other friends. Basically, that documentary became my own therapy.”

“Symptom because that's why each suicide is different to the next. And you can't nullify it. You can't be like, oh, if someone's, you'll know someone's suicidal because they'll look like this, this, this, this, this. You'll never find those answers, which is a scary thought. It's also, you know, like what you said there, like you didn't know that mental health was a thing. That puts you in a higher risk category than it puts me. The majority of men that take their own live have no idea that mental health disorders even are a thing. Most of them think that people are just kind of lying or people are just attention seeking when they say they have depression. That's over 70% of men that take their own life in that situation. They see it as a means to an end. They don't like what's going on in their life. How do I make it stop?”

“He taught me everything and sat next to me literally two foot away from me every day on every single show, you know, laugh together, as I say, go out together, all those types of things. But I think Joe took his own life in August last year. And that for me was a moment where I kind of, I... I had dealt with my own kind of suicidal thoughts and my own kind of depression. And Joe was very much aware of that, which is why it was so strange to me and why I felt like I had this piece of paper in front of me that said everything you know about or you think you know about someone that is suicidal in quotes is wrong because it doesn't have any form of”

“If I had 30 mates, I'd say 30 mates, I would probably put him last as to who I would suspect would ever do anything like that. I mean, to put it into context, obviously, the documentary you were talking about obviously being, you know, about male suicide and male depression. Even this world that I'm in now, I really do not wish I was part of this world. Like in terms of I wish I didn't have people talking to me about suicide, but this is where we are. This is how life goes. That's it. But when it came to Joe, my producer, yeah, he was the first person when I went to Wimbledon. He was the first person I met. When I did my demo for the first time, he was that person that was there with me. This is someone that taught me everything I know in terms of my professional being now on in terms of radio.”

I wanted to create a show where I was like, no, that's not what if Saturday at five o'clock is quite a dead period for kids that were my age at that time, which was like 20, 23. And I was like, a lot of my mates are these YouTubers and these types of things. Why don't I get some of them on? We'll just play some games. We'll have more fun with it.

It's not quite 8 p.m. where you're going to get doing pre-drinks and those types of things. So it's just low ratings statistically. And I was like, I don't care, give me the show.

There was a football company called Football Daily And so this was right at the start of when they started out and there were just a group of lads that were just pushing out content.

“Literally, this just glorified toilet cleaner, essentially. I was just cleaning running machines for about a year and a half. And then during that time, I kind of realized that my creative side was like really struggling in terms of like I couldn't. I've always wanted to create and do stuff.
