Right. Welcome everyone, to the first
ever. Should I probably shouldn't say
this? Should I probably say this?
Which one is elite? Shouldn't say this.
Probably shouldn't say this podcast with myself, Dean Ronan
and. Lee Powell.
So all today is going to be is a bit of an introduction on why
we're doing a pod, who we are. First of all, because I think
Lee's got a bigger following than me.
Since Lee and I'm still on his blog yesterday, my Instagram has
been on fire all over Wales. Jesus Christ I went.
I went a pink potty clean today and two people come on to me
there. Where the fuck is that about?
Excite. I think when I discussed this
with Lee, why we're doing it, what we want to get out of it.
We got one goal, 1 main goal anyway is to make this the
sexiest podcast in Wales, which I'm sure we will achieve in no
time, right? Lee, do you want to start this
off? Who are you?
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Or you? We go well I am best thing for
this I'm so looking forward to. I've been thinking about this
for years and when you approach me the other day to answer fella
Christmas the right chub on. So why you be here 2 friends
chatting shit put in the world to write.
Well we are going to have some guests on ranging from athletes,
people who were a lot to do with mental health.
I think a lot of it will cover mental health.
I'm a big, big and a new self, a big advocate on that.
Yeah. Anything, really, anything goes
unfiltered as is as it is, buddy.
Unfiltered, unscripted. And no one knew like I do, this
could go up simply anywhere. So tell the listeners if there's
few people listening, I was never met to what you do.
Who is Lee Powell? Oh.
My fucking God, Here we go, Lee. Well, who am I?
I'm attention seeking prick. The small Willy.
I'm not. Powell is 51 years of age.
I know I don't look it because I'm fat and it pushes the
wrinkles out. I know I got grey hair but two
gives a fudge. I've got a small little UPBC
business. Just going to try and get by
your life. Never taking anything seriously,
always trying to have a laugh, always trying to be there for
friends and family. Just being a bit of a legend
really. I'm glad you said that's what I
was going to add, Lee Powell, the legend of my stake legged.
So tell hello listeners, Lee, because there's thousands and
hundreds of thousands of them already hanging on.
Where do you see this podcast going?
Flipping neck astronomically. Fly into the solar eclipse That
was last night. I don't know.
We're going to go as far as we can go, I think.
Talking about the solar eclipse, let me just add in a little
story. I'm sure she will mind.
Yeah, yeah. Chloe said to me last night, my
mother is coming up, we're going to go up S grade to watch your
clips because the minis were training.
Sure, sure. Anyone mind me sharing this?
Someone, somewhere that told her that she had to use a calendar
and a piece of paper. We're not so afraid.
Calendar. Harper and his husband, The
fields in the bottle. And you see the eclipse.
The Queens would have made a killer up there last night.
There's people up there having barbecues.
He was drinking cans. And yeah, everyone's enjoying.
Dogs walk last night there and see up at the Golf links.
It was like blood. Yeah, it was.
It must have been 3040. Cars up there.
Some Cowboys started a fire though, didn't they?
In Pontaluven so all all my photos the eclipse are covered
in black smoke. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with people.
I know when to spread rumours but I heard it was the fire
brigade. They pay young kids to the
worst, they have called out. So just a little bit about
myself. I'm Dean Ronan.
I'm currently a teacher. I work with children in a
private school. It's not as fast as it sounds so
I work with children in care but they're absolutely amazing.
These children are looked after by the local authority and
they're the most incredible people you will ever meet.
I love my job and then and aside from my job, I work in rugby.
When being lead lead on his little blog yesterday, I think
he said I started coaching the Quinns when Noah built the ark.
So I've been in rugby for a long, long time.
The Quins are not doing great at the moment.
So I'm probably turning as great as Lee on sides, but I'm sure
that's going to change this year hopefully.
And then again, I sort of in COVID, I fell in love with
podcasts and I started listening.
I was walking and nothing has to do really use it.
And the socially distant sports. Why I'll have to give him a
shout. It was the first ever podcast I
listened to and I listened to it relentlessly.
Now every Tuesday morning I pay for it.
So every Tuesday morning it drops in two hours.
I love it. Mike Bobbins, Ellis James, Steph
Guerrero And then not so much after rugby, but over the last
year I run as a member of Senate.
For my sins really. I'll be honest, politics has
never been something I'm sort of chasing.
I've always been interested and I've always, I've sort of had an
opinion on things. Like I can't explain to Lee how
mad the world of politics is. Another story.
Even last week, me and Chloe and her family and everyone, we're
in Greece, my phone calls and there's people online still
having to go with me. Now I didn't get in.
I'm not gonna remember saying it.
Well, they said, well, lady, I will mention names, she said
about me being a shitfather. I put a.
Trout. I pretend to be pretend.
I pretend to be a daughter father.
That's what it was like. There was a photo of me online
to stand outside the hospital. I want to save my cigars price
to do not unchanged. And someone wrote that they say
who's going to vote for this fucking clown after?
This podcast now you were political career as fuck mine.
Yeah, to be fair to Chloe, she supports all my mad endeavours,
so she would. When I said about politics, she
said like, well no, you can't be doing that if you want to be a
politician or you can't be doing like my why not?
Yeah, I've got a fuck full of people in suit.
Yeah. They don't want my stay off.
I don't know where my Stig is. You're making decisions for us.
Never know. We might.
Take this, Paul.
But right, I interrupt. Yeah, I got to be honest.
So I've known you since he was a little kid in there.
The stuff you do for the community.
I'm not trying to puff you off there now, Right.
But already done. I didn't.
Like you like. The stuff you've done for the
community has been brilliant. But, and when he was running for
Senate Prime Minister of my Stig, it was like on us, there
was a breath of fresh air. You were no frills, you know, I
mean, none of this bullshit, none of this.
I don't know, I'm not into politics.
I'm too thick, right? But what he was doing was
brilliant. But, and I know what you've done
for the rugby community as well, like, you know, you are, you're
a good human being, right? That's it.
That's enough now, Second. Yes.
Well, no Lee, I gotta go rugby to him, right?
What I have got is 10 quick fire questions on Lee Powell.
Who is he? And right here we go, I fully on
the spot because he has no idea what these questions are.
Right? So I'll start nice and easy.
Anyway, if I was going to offer you £1,000,000 right now, would
you never drink alcohol again? No, no.
Would you drink it for the next week?
Were they never do you have a couple of times of thought to
giving it up, but that's that's like on the Sunday Monday
morning. I did give it up for about, I
think it was about four months once.
Did you? What's wrong with me?
Oh, I had that bell. What's wrong with me?
You know, I had that dumbbell's palsy when you face troops.
Yeah. Yeah.
That. That was during COVID or just
before COVID. I give it up for ages after
that. I tried to keep clean because I
did. I did read real.
I read, but it's not, you know, alcohol is no good field.
So I gave it. I think I gave it up for about
four weeks. All right.
OK, million pound. Oh, I don't know.
Probably I would. Four weeks.
So in the last of my maths work, right?
You know what? 32 years Because you're only
drunk legally, didn't you? In the last 32 years you haven't
drunk for four weeks. My brother does sober October.
My brother's Lee October every year.
But he lives by the motto. Oh good story starts with
someone having a salad. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, get. Right there.
Think of all our stories are spread over the years.
None of them involve salads, right?
Question 2. Who's the most famous person in
your phone contacts? Right thing, the name dropped
now, right? Come on in.
I think I still got that. So the girl called Jody Prenja,
right? Jody Bar made in the Rovers
Return incarnation. Street is she?
She I was on a TV show. I'm not going to, you know, I
got a plug this one years and years ago, 20 years ago now.
And she's the one that went the TV show and she went on to
stardom and I went on to working in Fords and still living in my
city. So I did have Jody on in my
contacts but we had a massive fallout because she during the
show she said we would go offers because we were both in the
final and she ripped me off. And the fuck is a fucking
millionaires? Well, millionaires like.
Fucking hell. But that, that's in my phone
book. And who else?
Who else? What they say I don't really
know, but. I won't go with it anyway.
What do you want to RIP you off? Yeah.
Trout. 10 three I'll enjoy this one.
What's this biggest lie you've ever told and you've got away
with it? I've.
Been a serious man like my windows are.
No, my windows are good. No, I would probably.
I don't know. I was telling someone I'm 24
stone when I was back in 33. I'm telling someone a good drug.
That's another one. Right then this is you got to
choose either one. I know your mother, she's lovely
woman. Would you rather her read your
WhatsApp messages or go go through your Google search
history? And I've had some Whatsapps of
you. I'd rather go through my Google
search history. OK, tell a quick story.
Do you remember this simply lovely guy?
They said like a thing of like smart, like simply lovely.
Remember that guy? I'm sure I sent you shit like
that before. Maybe.
It was all stinking stuff. That means stinking and I
remember say I sent a load of boys and I sent to my mother by
mistake and my mother, she said, Lee, have you sent me something
by mistake? I went, oh, fuck.
I said, don't open it. Oh, too late, She said.
Mean father, good luck. Right Question 5.
What's something everyone seems to love about you?
Sorry, something. See, let me start again.
Sorry I got apples in my mouth. What's something that everyone
else seems to love the you think is absolutely shite?
Watch something and everyone seems to love that.
I think it's faint. Yes.
All about me, but in general. Oh no.
It could be a TVCD, it could be anything.
A violin. I can't stand it.
Don't say Ali. We've got a couple of guests who
like, I don't know. We've opened up a guest on from.
That violin. I like to Amen.
I'm Crocs. I fucking hate Crocs.
I'm with you on a Crocs. I've never owned a pair of Crocs
and they know that in work and they bought me a pair for
fucking secrets on that last year.
Have you warned them yet? No, I haven't, no.
And to be fair, it was dude in my political campaign and I had
croc charms and Nigel Farage's face as well.
Right in six. If you could swap lives with one
famous person for a week, who would it be and why?
Right. What a famous person.
Yeah, the anyone don't. Want the big cock.
It's got to be. I didn't.
Oh, I don't know. I'd like, I don't know fucking.
That's a good, good question. That is, let me try and just
keep it short and sharp. Lucky these no quick fire
really. I know I told you I'm not the
brightest. Like, I don't even know why you
asked me to Come on. If I could swap, if I could swap
anywhere, they'd probably be that guy.
Henry Carville. He's the Superman.
Who else is he? He fucking handsome bastard.
And he and he got a length and him.
Apparently, right? Right.
Question 7. We come into the big ones now.
You've already delete one app off your phone, Facebook,
Instagram, TikTok or WhatsApp. Which one you deleted forever?
Facebook gone is that. I gone really and did TikTok.
Yeah, I did you you turn into a bit of a TikTok superstar.
You. Have it like.
It must be all at work and you do it right then.
Question 8 What's the fuck this will go anywhere?
Most embarrassing thing you've ever done on a night out?
Good God alive. By the way, I should have read
Ezuler looking. Back right, it's a bit cringy.
We went. I don't know you.
I don't think he was there. He's without the Matthews.
Matthew Jones went out to the night out a couple of the Osprey
boys and Shane Williams is there and I'm sorry if Shane's going
to be a, you know, guess one day.
He was a bit of a cock to be honest here, right.
So I had this thong on, right. This thong.
He's like a sheep covering my little Willy like a sheep's bum
sort of thing. And obviously crotched and
crossed a thong like. So I, he was talking to me and
he was just doing, or just after the Lions tour and I pulled my
trousers down. He was ignoring.
He likes to pull my trousers down and all the boys are
laughing. John and Thomas them joke.
No, Adam Johnson there. Who's there?
There was a few of them there just laughing and he was trying
ignoring me, but he was sort of talking and I had my trousers on
my ankle, my thong. Like I was a little bit
embarrassed for that. I like it because the guy's a
legend, to be fair. Yeah.
Yeah, but he was a bit rude, so the fuck it, you're having me.
We can get Shane on You've Got a Podcast in a sheep song.
Yeah, and I'll apologise.
So the Internet. I wanted to do your thing now.
Get in touch with Shane, get this message to him if you want
to see Lee in a sheep thong right then.
If you were arrested tomorrow, what would people assume you
were done who already know you? God, finger bum probably.
Yeah, like a game of finger bum to make the done finger bum
someone which didn't like it. Right, last and final question
for me. Who would play you in a film
about your life? He's dead now, John.
Candy John Candy. I love John Candy.
Boys, you threaten smile. They look like John Candy.
He was in cool running 3 John Candy.
Brilliant. Another.
Funny story about well, it's not so much John Candy for Adam
Ilya's stag. We had it Ohmstag in a Quinn's
upstairs. It was fancy dress and stupid.
Steve's not the brightness. He love him.
That's what we told him. We had to come for an initial
from Adam's name. So Adam William Hillier Reese.
One of them initials is your fancy dress, but E come as John
Candy right Cool run insurance. I don't know why none of them
let us match up like the Steve was all for it.
Well, the plan was now to tell him that we'd all do in the
Jamaican bobsleigh team. He's coming as John Candy and he
walked in his Rasta wig, big pillow at his top.
There's a full foot of it somewhere on social media.
Absolutely brilliant. You got to get him one just for
just to entertainment value. I don't know if we can.
Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know.
Yeah. It'll be like.
He I messaged him when I was he's going to kill me if Shanice
now. So when I was away, he'd missed
training. So Lee, text me, give Steve a
message as well, see what he is. So I text him when I was in
Greece, he worked the trainer tomorrow leave a chat too.
I can't tomorrow my mother's giving me Botox right before we
wrap up Lee, I got a couple of thank yous to say to people
Nikki, playoff and Blackie. They do the runs podcast.
Well, in fact, I'm not going to say thank you to playoffs.
He's fucking useless. When I text playoff, he texts
me. I am going to clue it.
I just log on. Blackie does it.
All right, so I rescinded song Uber Blackie has been amazing.
I've been a sort out at this podcast.
Yeah, he sent us all to this software that we're using now.
So if everyone or anyone listening to this, what's
another podcast 2 mistake boys? It is a bit of running, like
probably a lot more running the mainly you're going to talk
about. Yeah, but yeah, get over the two
good, great men at the runs. I think they're on Apple,
Spotify, YouTube, anything else. Instagram the gorgeous follow
them on there as well brilliant like.
Anything. They do some brilliant
merchandise. Oh, get over.
They sell vests and T-shirts and socks and all sorts.
They don't do 4XL or. Do they?
No tricks. You sell it, I was a Jack them
or other things I wanted to plug.
I'm sure it's gonna be serious or two seconds.
So there's a young boy from Garth den Griffiths.
Everyone in my state community knows who Ethan is.
So chunky approach to me. Come back a couple of months
will I be interested in putting on a day and I've been organised
a day for Ethan. So between Chloe's been
involved, Linda and Andrew, the club Chunky, there's a couple of
other women, Sarah as well and there's a huge group of people.
Yeah. Sorry, they're putting on a day
up S parade a week Sunday, Sorry, two weeks, Sunday it's
the third. It's the bank holiday Sunday.
So there's an under fifteens rugby festival going on up
there, which to be fair has been brilliantly supported.
But we got teams from West Wales to Derry to local teams.
That's been amazing. So there's an under 15 rugby
tournament which all Ethan's age and Ethan's mates they're
playing and on the day as well. We've had local bands and DJs
not for a penny. So we got let me just double
check the list now to make sure that I don't forget anyone
because the list is outstanding to be fair.
So we got 1 mic stand, brilliant, they're going to
sing. We've got Specs and Johnny up
there, brilliant. We've got Luke Cole or DJ Fish
as he's known by in Ibiza. Luke is going to do a set for
us. We've got I don't know what the
call is. I think it's big ebbs, little
ebbs and beef and beef and beef. And we've also 2 seconds.
Let me because I don't leave them out with they wear another
band add on yesterday I believe and that is the Rubber Monkeys
are confirmed as well. Dipping neck as a blast in the
past. So there's a day full of music
up S grade. It's £3 to get in.
Who sank you to Adrian Share and Vanco Scaffolding?
They're putting a stage together for us and we've had like, Rodri
Thomas pile cleaning supplies, sponsoring trophies.
It should be a brilliant day. Yeah.
So if anyone can come and support that, if you don't know,
Buddy Thun, he's been diagnosed with secondary cancer.
He's going through a trial of the moment, which fingers
crossed we'll start improving as well, proving things for him.
But there's also talk that he may have to go abroad for
treatment and obviously any funds that we raise.
And there was a touch rugby tournament down in the brewery
field a few weeks back. If we can support that as well.
There's a there is a jest given link I believe, which I'll get
up on the social media as well. So anyone can support that,
whether it's. £10 or a pound, it don't matter.
Anything you can do I know will be greatly appreciated.
Yeah. So if you can support that, they
are. Brilliant, that is.
Like I said, you bet you're a good guy.
Fair play too, because they don't fuck over there.
We might be not daily for about we could do a live podcast from
the ground into other youngsters, yes, so we'll have a
look through it now might be. About.
Let's start filming before the Stellas, right?
I'm going to again, I put you on the spot, Lee.
So I think we should do this. We don't have an online meet
there now. This is weird.
I know we've got to meet there next week, but we've sort of
jumped again. I think something I want to get
out this podcast, apart from the obvious being the sexiest
podcast in Wales, is to sort of spread good news and give
people, put people a smile on people's face.
I think that's why I sort of got involved with politics because I
just wanted like wanted life to be better.
So I want to ask everyone of our guests, and I'll ask you now,
what's something you're going to do today, tomorrow and the next
couple of days is going to make you happy?
That's going to make me happy. It's.
Going to make you happy it's going to put a smile on your
face I'll. Be A tag.
Right, OK. No, like I do everything but get
up, try and get up, get on my life, chip away.
Listen, we all go through trials and tribulations and you know,
we all go through shit, but you've got to put a smile on
your face. But, and if you can make this is
my attitude, right, you can make someone smile that makes me
happy. Like because I'm a silly twat of
a clown and I love it. I love fucking about and I love
people. Excellent.
Like you, but I knew you're a good you know people person as
they say you wouldn't be either gone into politics otherwise,
though, because it all fucking tools and I so you were not
like. Except you.
Exactly. Something I'm going to do is
going to put a smile on my face. Hopefully after rugby tonight,
Castle Street Chinese will be open and I will be going there.
It's my favourite. You lost some weight though.
February too. And I'm trying they cut as well
that out and I come for all this.
Well, I've been on that red. The two ties fucking shit.
Is it we are in well on that. We will have a podcast very,
very soon we Speaking of our weight loss and weight loss
medication and stuff. So we'll hold on our Rd.
And wait for. That and at the beginning,
obviously I was playing about, I know what the podcast is called.
It's probably shouldn't say this.
Thank you all for listening. I know this was a bit of a short
run with 20 odd minutes. Now it'll be up on YouTube,
Apple Podcasts and Spotify very, very soon, hopefully.
Please come and like subscribe, share leaves running the tick
tocks or any dirty messages send them to him.
Yes, please. And then we'll hopefully see you
