Steven talks to star, Jamie Jewitt, about everything from sports to personal health and the impact of social media.

Steven talks once more to former footballer and free-speech advocate, Matt Le Tissier about the impact of money on football, the evolution of the game, the influence of social media, and the current state of English football.

Matt shares his views on heading in football, the dangers of a cashless society, and his concerns about the direction of the UK government. The episode also delves into political figures like Donald Trump and Joe Biden, as well as the importance of free speech in today's digital age.

Key Takeaways

• We are currently seeing the impact of money on footballers' performance, with some players being affected negatively by wealth, while others like Cristiano Ronaldo maintaining high performance levels despite vast wealth.
• There has been a notable shift towards a softer version of football compared to previous eras, where physicality and tough play were more prevalent.
• While VAR could be beneficial if used properly, the current implementation has had more negative impacts than positive ones.
• Matt expresses strong opinions on various political and social issues, including concerns about government control, the schooling system, and the direction of the country, reflecting a critical perspective on current affairs.
• To preserve free speech we must look hard at social media platforms, and the role of individuals like Elon Musk in potentially influencing the landscape of free speech

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the schooling system is an indoctrination center. It's been abused by the radical far left to get their little agendas into the schools."

"I think the general public have been absolutely brilliant. It's been an absolute pleasure to be out in public and to see so many people who are prepared to come up and sometimes actually go, you know what, Matt, I thought you were mad a couple of years ago, but actually you were right."

"I think the ratio of people coming up to me and thanking me for sticking my neck out over the last few years is way more than anybody who's come up to me and said that I was a conspiracy theorist or an anti-vaxxer."

"I know you're a man who believes in freedom of speech. Cashless, cryptocurrency, central currency, electric cars, are all these things good for humanity or do you think they're going to restrict us?"
