0:57

I don't

0:58

often release trailers, but this is

1:00

a really, really special occasion. I'm

1:02

just out in Atlanta, Georgia right

1:05

now. I've gone to see the Martin Luther King exhibit

1:07

and his home and all those things. And the Coca Cola

1:09

Company, I've been in Washington DC,

1:11

I've been in New York City, where

1:14

I got to meet up with lots of people. And

1:17

I have been doing a bit of a podcast tour

1:20

going on as a GUEST. I've been on Tim

1:22

Paul's podcast. I know he's a divisive figure.

1:24

and I'm going on James Altuchas.

1:27

That's why I am in Atlanta, Georgia.

1:30

But I wanted to interrupt that with

1:33

a teaser or trailer for

1:35

an upcoming guest who was a childhood

1:37

hero of mine Andrew he's by

1:40

some distance. No. I don't think others will mind this who

1:42

have been on the show, but by some distance the biggest

1:44

name to ever be on this podcast.

1:46

So it's really, really exciting. Perhaps just

1:48

Richard Dorkins could quibble

1:51

with that. I suppose of my former GUEST, he's also

1:53

a very big name in science, but this person's a

1:55

big name in in the pop industry.

1:58

And the funny thing is, he's not really well

2:00

known in the US or Canada, but

2:02

in every other country in the world, this man one

2:04

of the most famous people in in every country around

2:06

the world. Everybody knows this man. He's

2:09

basically the the British equivalent

2:11

of, let's say, madonna somewhere

2:13

somewhere around that kind of thing. And

2:16

I'll just let the trailer play. Thank

2:18

you so much to James Espacito

2:21

for putting together the trailer. He's

2:23

fantastic. Go go check out his website

2:25

if you want trailers and things and camera things

2:27

and editing and all that kind of thing done. That's

2:30

WWW dot undergroundfilms dot

2:32

co dot u k. Thank you to Sean Howard

2:34

as usual, and the lovely Jen Hopkins,

2:37

my for this one. If

2:39

you don't know this man, he had

2:41

more number one albums in the

2:43

UK than any other solo

2:46

artist ever. recently climbing

2:48

above Elvis Presley,

2:51

the only act to

2:53

have more number one albums than this person.

2:55

is the Beatles, and they only have one

2:58

more. So we're talking about,

3:01

you know, musical royalty here.

3:03

Andrew the fact that I got to interview him, I'm just

3:05

so proud and so excited. And

3:07

if you are American or Canadian, you don't know who

3:09

this person is, he'll say his name in a minute.

3:12

I I encourage you to go and check out at

3:14

least the big hits because they're

3:16

a lot of fun. Let me know what you think. Are you

3:18

excited for this GUEST? Send me a little

3:20

comment on Instagram or Twitter

3:23

or post it around its

3:25

exciting times here on on the edge

3:27

with Andrew Gold. And I'll just leave you

3:29

in the capable hands or

3:31

the words of of

3:33

my guest. I think that if it hadn't

3:35

have happened for me, then I'd be doing

3:38

what you guys are doing on YouTube because

3:40

this is totally up my street.

3:46

When I've got my most bravado

3:49

I'm strutting I'm,

3:51

you know, peacocking is

3:53

when I'm the most nervous and the most scared.

3:58

There was tabloid, but newspapers

3:59

were sending little green men,

4:02

and a journalist dressed little

4:04

green man to wait outside of my

4:06

house and it was, you know, Robbie

4:08

Williams has gone mad and blah blah

4:11

blah. I know, you know,

4:15

You know, I wasn't instantly, I wasn't

4:17

safe. There was a contract

4:19

out of me to kill me when

4:21

I used to be on my bike. People

4:23

used to try and run me over. I'd get

4:25

bricks thrown at me. Pie pots thrown

4:27

at me. And I was a

4:29

pubgoer pubs became

4:31

instantly unsafe for me.

4:33

Why? Because of jealousy. Because

4:36

of jealousy. You know, young books, lord

4:38

of the flies, I I tell you one story I

4:40

don't think I've ever told. There was lots of

4:42

times that I'd had to run for my

4:44

life. But

4:46

hero was in a gay bar in Manchester, the

4:49

door opened to this different world

4:51

that was just absolutely incredible.

4:57

Fortunately, I didn't get

4:59

to be a Keith Richards

5:02

kind of carrot my drug

5:04

abuse, my alcohol abuse

5:06

became very sad very

5:08

very quickly.

5:12

I

5:12

sharp my emotions down, Sean,

5:15

but I've probably taken your ecstasy.

5:17

the

5:23

Hope you enjoyed that little trailer teaser

5:26

thing. And now you know we got

5:28

Robbie Williams on

5:30

the show. I used to have posters of

5:32

him around my room. I was a huge, huge

5:35

fan. And he's GUEST, you

5:37

know, if you don't know him as I say, look up engels

5:40

feel. You might recognize those songs,

5:42

millennium. Let me entertain you.

5:44

There's just load in loads of them. The

5:46

most successful solo singer

5:49

in British history, huge

5:51

around the world, and

5:53

he sat with us for two and

5:55

a half hours. We'd

5:57

only agreed one hour and it just kept going

5:59

on. And after two hours, we even said,

6:02

you know, because we felt bad for him. We were

6:04

loving it. We could've and all night to him. That

6:06

was me and Sean Atwood and Jen Hopkins.

6:08

But Robbie or or

6:10

Robbie as he goes by GUEST really

6:12

seemed to be enjoying the chat. So it was

6:14

just beautiful and intimate. And

6:16

as you heard in the teaser, he does say

6:18

things he's never talked about before. He

6:20

just really opened up and I think maybe it's part

6:22

of being a bit less of the

6:25

dare I say it mainstream media.

6:28

I think he just saw us as a few mates who he

6:30

could sit with. So I'm actually splitting it

6:32

into two parts. Andrew

6:34

it'll be out in the next couple of weeks sometime

6:36

because obviously it's very long two and a half hours.

6:38

That's why I'm just getting into two parts. But,

6:40

yeah, thank you all as usual for yours

6:42

support and everything. Get in touch. Will

6:45

you know, will tell me how excited. Well,

6:47

maybe you're not what I am. I'm

6:49

I'm very, very excited about it all.

6:51

And my love to all

6:53

of you. Since I do a podcast, it's rare

6:55

6:57

7:23

Tony Robbins, and so many more with fascinating

7:25

stories. James breaks them down like they're in

7:27

a therapy session and figures out what makes

7:29

them tick. Each episode is an amazing

7:31

roller coaster story I'm on the edge of

7:33

my seat. to get life lessons that I

7:35

can use immediately. I even went out to

7:37

see him and stay with the guy, so I'm you

7:39

know, I'm a fan. James Altuja show

7:41

also has a bunch of sub series inside the podcast

7:43

that as side hustle, Fridays, where

7:46

James talks to guests that make six

7:48

figures from their side hustles, and I will make

7:50

you a millionaire where he helps three

7:52

contestants make their first millions

7:54

and the latest one, Wall Street

7:56

insane, where you have to hear his stories
