Two-time Olympic champion Jade Jones and world champion Bianca Cook sit down with the Smith Brothers for a brutally honest conversation about elite sport - the pressure, the injuries, the obsession, and the parts nobody sees. They talk Olympic cycles, ACL injuries, weight cuts, mental battles, life after gold medals, and why winning isn’t always the moment you think it will be. From GB squads and world championships to starting again in the boxing gym, this is elite mindset, stripped bare.

Everton, Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney goes toe to toe with the Smith Brothers for a proper sit-down - management highs and lows, why he’s unsure he’ll go back into the dugout, and what punditry is really like when you’re telling the truth. Wayne talks Ferguson’s team talks, playing against Messi, the pressure of being a young star, retirement and identity, and the difference between football pressure and boxing pressure. Plus: academy life, parenting, social media (and why he stepped off Twitter), MLS stories, and a few laugh-out-loud memories from the city.

In our first full episode, the four Smith brothers sit down with James Nelson-Joyce - the star of This City is Ours and one of Liverpool’s finest actors - for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about boxing, acting, pressure, identity, and what it takes to survive at the top of your craft. We talk candidly about: Growing up in Liverpool and finding acting by chance Rejection, luck, and having a chip on your shoulder The crossover between boxing mentality and acting discipline Heroes, inspirations, and the importance of seeing someone “like you” make it Ego, confidence, delusion; and why you need all three to succeed Boxing culture, celebrity fights, and respect for anyone who steps in the ring From Mike Tyson and Rocky to gym culture, auditions, bad nights, and life after the spotlight - this is a proper conversation, not soundbites. Boxing is the starting point. Life beyond the ring is the real subject.

Leadership, Pressure, Regrets & Life After Football

Welcome to another episode of The Smith Brothers: Not a Podcast. Today we’re joined by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.

In a proper, wide-ranging chat, Stevie talks openly about life after playing, why he’s being patient about his next coaching role, and what pressure really feels like at the very top - from Champions League nights to moments he’d take back.

We get into:

Family life now (and the new chapter with the granddaughter)

TV work, travel, and staying selective with appearances

Rangers, Villa, and the reality of choosing the “right” next job

The difference between being an elite player and becoming a manager

Modern football vs the old days (physicality, cameras, scrutiny)

Regrets: reds, tackles, emotion, and what you learn from it

Big-game nerves, sleep, and the mental side of performing

The Liverpool years: biggest moments, best teammates, and what makes winners

Transfers, owners, analytics, and how decisions really get made

Boxing is our world; but this one is about mentality, pressure, and what it takes to stay at the top when everyone has an opinion.
