00:30Great work. Don't forget to cool down, guys.
00:48Good morning.
00:49As in?
00:50Well, if you're looking for something to brighten your day.
00:53What honking lycra?
00:55Fresh air, endorphins, blood pumping.
00:58It's the best medicine.
01:01Yeah, I think I'll find something a bit less tragic.
01:04You all right?
01:05No.
01:06All right.
01:07Let's get you inside.
01:09See you next time.

01:12I was having a wee look at my stats last night.
01:17Listeners are up.
01:18Downloads are increasing.
01:19My algorithm is...
01:20I know I shouldn't be obsessed with that stuff, but it's dead exciting.
01:26Like, who knows where this could take me?
01:28Yeah.
01:28It's great, Mikey.
01:30Well done.
01:30I just need plenty of cases to cover.
01:33But the well's looking a wee bit dry.
01:35You want some crime?
01:36Look no further than my own mother.
01:40Wanted for wage theft.
01:41What are you on about?
01:42Got my first pay today.
01:44How am I supposed to live on that?
01:45You are more than fairly compensated.
01:48We're not exactly raking it in.
01:49Are we in a union?
01:50Maybe we should join a union.
01:52I cannot be here for this conversation.
01:54Seriously, though, how did you get by on that?
01:59You just do.
02:00Make a few wee adjustments.
02:03Coupon deals, second-hand markets.
02:05Bank robberies.
02:05Like, grab lunch with me later.

14:56hmm this is worse than i thought stop being dramatic four streaming services on here
15:03well it's the golden age of telling everybody knows that well how many of you logged on to in the past
15:07week four three two one zero and how many guys you messaged on the apps you pay for uh why did i
15:16show you my phone a hypocrite hey this is different come on it's a big gay world out there do you not
15:21think it's about time to get back to it i'm just not feeling the fantasy at the moment my self-esteem's
15:28run out of steam anyway enough about me what else are you wasting your money on well you are enjoying
15:35this far too much what is this massive one the gym the gym what are they doing the exercises for you
15:44well do you have a better idea i do actually there's plenty of cheaper ways of staying in shape some of
15:48them are right here in shield inch oh my god do not say drew's running club true's running club how not
15:53it's cheap it's good for you you meet new people i know enough people and maybe i was a teensy bit
15:59nasty um this morning right fine suit yourself stay skinned and miserable no no i'll give it a go
16:06if you do too no chance why not it's cheap it's good for you you'll meet new people what have you got
16:13to lose uh my dignity i've seen your apps remember right fine i'll give it a go one session uno and that's
16:21your lot i took two out of the packet i handed them to him told him they're the last ones and pocketed
16:31the rest oh good is it i mean i stole from my friend and he's been so supportive since rehab i mean
16:40everyone has the club i've let everyone down how weak am i right okay we're not doing that take a breath
16:55smallest of things can knock us off balance i remember once years ago i'd just finished a shift and
17:03i booked a taxi to take me across town and then this chancer just jumped in it before i did i thought
17:10how unfair i'd been on my feet all day i thought the world was against me and if things were that terrible
17:19then why not just take a drink did you no not that time other times was a different story
17:29but that's the decision you have to make each time so no you're not weak drew because you get up every
17:38morning and you fight i was so close they'd been burning a hole in my pocket all day i mean if you
17:47hadn't come up who's to say it would have been so easy for me to slip but you didn't and here you are
17:52having a conversation with me you have got to stop damning yourself for what could have happened
18:00and give yourself some grace for what you did
18:12kathleen how are you knowing school i thought we could have a wee word what are you playing at
18:18look i am here working my fingers to the bone and your dog in school no i wasn't even is it bullying
18:24wait are you being bullied what no don't lie to me i'm not look he's a bit behind behind aye but we've
18:32been talking right oh yous have have you and how long have you known about this what just today can
18:38you let us speak unbelievable man rap at you i'm not the one in trouble here i know no i don't want to hear
18:45it i told you can you believe him it's you i cannae believe
18:55i never felt good enough never felt like i could do anything right
19:00it was like everyone else had this magical book you know how to live in the world but i didn't have that
19:05i felt stupid and lost
19:13and the only way i could feel anything at all was to hurt myself
19:21but football that was different i was good and suddenly i'd found something to shut up that negative
19:29voice on the pitch everything was quiet i had a job to do i was good at it and it was peaceful
19:39really big thing in ae inner peace i rode that all the way to the states
19:45and it was all going so well you know i i went from this lost little kid with no dreams
19:51to becoming someone you could all be so proud of and then one day gone and i went back to being that
20:00lost wee boy again you've always been proud of you drew no i thought i was making progress but maybe this
20:07running club is the same as football maybe it's still all to do with how other folks see me it's just
20:13how my brain works it'll find something to latch onto i understand better than most but this isn't the way to do it
20:24i know you can get back there back to that inner peace and you can build self-worth drew i know you can
20:34but you have to give yourself credit for being strong and for resisting temptation
20:40i'll try promise promise that's all we can ask are you going to tell mum about today
20:54it depends on what you're going to do with those get them out of my sight
21:02you owe someone an apology you really think that's a good idea trust me with these never mind me
21:11what do you think let's try and play nice eh she has to be told well i think you're already told
21:22they're over there so let's keep the temperature cool all right okay i'll play nice
21:32all right hey dana how was he do we quietly sell because there was no formula
21:38but hey we got there you know you believe they can ever since well i'll remember it next time
21:43next time yeah she's already planning the next time do we not get a saying this did you not hear
21:49anything i said to you i'm sorry remind me was that before or after you bit alice's head off well
21:54you can't blame me for my reaction we're on ragged here while you're living it up at the pub it was a
22:00meeting in the ship oh come on dad how many times have you had a meeting over a drink
22:06going off like that in front of alice and the whole street it was mortifying no amber what is
22:10mortifying is you dumping teddy on us like that we have lives to lead to well i'm sorry we're such
22:16a burden oh don't you dare nobody is saying that okay we love having them you know that but i had a
22:22whole day planned for us look i'm sorry about your plans or whatever but i think you're overreacting
22:28hey your mother put a lot of thought into today and she was looking forward to it and so was that
22:33we're retired we should be able to spend more quality time together relaxing i don't know about
22:39you i certainly don't feel relaxed fine well maybe it's best to find someone else to look after teddy
22:45oh and now who's overreacting just check this next time eh gives a wee bit of notice that way we
22:50can make something work look look we are always here to support you both of you but i will not
22:55have you taking advantage of our kindness you gave us a fright today yeah won't happen again ever
