He was stopped at the airport with 13KG of drugs in his luggage — and he says he had no idea it was there.In this episode of The BlueTick Show, our guest tells the full story of the moment border officers pulled him aside, what went through his head when they opened the bag, and how a single trip turned into a nightmare that cost him years of his life. He explains how he ended up carrying it, why nobody believed his side, and what happened once the doors shut behind him.He also opens up about what he's doing now — pushing his body to extremes and going for stretches of days on end without sleep, and what that's actually doing to his mind and his health.This is one of the rawest sit-downs we've had. He tells it exactly how it happened, with nothing held back.📩 Business & sponsorship enquiries: info@thebluetickshow.com#TheBlueTickShow #UKPodcast #TrueStory #PrisonStory #Airport #Smuggling #UKCrime #Podcast #RealStories #InterviewThe BlueTick Show, UK podcast, caught at the airport, 13kg drugs, drug mule story, airport arrest, set up with drugs, prison sentence UK, border force, unaware drug carrier, UK true crime podcast, documentary interview, Mikey Melin, real life story, no sleep challenge, sleep deprivationFollow The BlueTick Show On All Platforms Here!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebluetickshowSnapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/mikeymelin1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBluetickShowSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/45FTJt5SYMEQzS39IVnVM6?si=a21c92f042e2415cFor all sponsorship enquires email us at info@thebluetickshow.comFollow Mikey Here:https://www.instagram.com/mikeymelin

In this raw and unfiltered episode of The BlueTick Show, Mikey sits down with Addy the Baddy — the self-proclaimed mad man from Peterborough — for an unflinching account of bullying, street fights, cash machine robberies, drugs, and the near-fatal car crash that changed everything.Addy opens up about how relentless bullying at school turned a quiet kid into a fighter, the 300-man riot at Queensgate Shopping Centre that got him locked up for ringleading at 17, and his time in Glen Parva young offenders. He doesn't hold back on his years ripping out cash machines, life in the drug game, and the nightclub machete fight that went viral across Peterborough.But the heart of this episode is survival. Addy shares the head-on collision that took one of his closest brothers and left him in a coma for six weeks — fighting for his life at 50/50, with a snapped aorta, brain haemorrhage, and a recovery doctors weren't sure he'd make. He explains how becoming a father pulled him onto the straight and narrow, why he believes faith kept him alive, and his powerful message to the youth about knife crime, street violence, and turning your life around.We also get into the recent social media beef with Big Stacks, the truth about today's knife crime culture, and why Addy says faith and family are the only way forward.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Intro: The coma & the warning00:37 – Where the name "Addy the Baddy" came from01:46 – Growing up in Peterborough & getting bullied02:55 – The turning point: jumped at school03:15 – Dad takes him to boxing04:19 – Kicked out of school for fighting04:40 – The 300-man Queensgate riot06:04 – Arrested at 17 & charged as ringleader08:21 – Glen Parva young offenders11:10 – The cash machine robberies13:54 – Getting into drugs14:19 – The bar 42 nightclub machete fight17:36 – Going viral on Peterborough police Facebook19:48 – The turning point: becoming a father21:21 – His life as a fighter23:00 – Knife crime & why the streets have changed25:08 – The Big Stacks beef explained29:11 – The car crash that changed everything31:14 – Six weeks in a coma33:54 – The doctors, the seizures & coming back from the dead35:55 – His injuries: snapped aorta, brain haemorrhage & more37:16 – Valuing life, family & where he is now39:15 – Biggest regret & advice to the youth👍 SMASH 500 LIKES FOR PART TWO — we only scratched the surface of Addy's story.🔔 Subscribe to The BlueTick Show for raw, unfiltered interviews every week.📲 FOLLOW THE BLUETICK SHOWInstagram | TikTok | Facebook | Spotify#TheBlueTickShow #AddyTheBaddy #Peterborough #TrueStory #StreetStories #UKPodcast #Boxing #KnifeCrime #Redemption #Podcast #UKPodcasts #RealTalk #SurvivorStory #FromTheStreets #ComebackStory #BigStacks #UKStreets #LifeStory #Interview #DocumentaryFollow The BlueTick Show On All Platforms Here!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebluetickshowSnapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/mikeymelin1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBluetickShowSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/45FTJt5SYMEQzS39IVnVM6?si=a21c92f042e2415cFor all sponsorship enquires email us at info@thebluetickshow.comFollow Mikey Here:https://www.instagram.com/mikeymelin

Spudman (@spudarmy) went from selling jacket potatoes on a market stall in Tamworth to becoming a TikTok sensation with over 4.2 million followers, millions more across platforms, and people flying from Singapore just for one spud! In this raw Blue Tick Show interview with Mikey, the original Spudman opens up about his incredible journey: kidney failure at 25, three failed transplants, life on nightly dialysis for 15+ years, building a viral street food empire, turning down million-pound franchise deals, spending £200k+ on the world’s best potato trailer, and why he still wears shorts in freezing weather with his iconic pink mohawk.This is more than a food story—it’s about resilience, staying humble, refusing to franchise, helping the homeless one free jacket potato at a time, and turning a simple spud into a global phenomenon. If you love viral creators, street food entrepreneurs, or inspiring comeback stories, this episode will blow your mind.🔥 Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome & How Spudman Started Selling Potatoes at 1801:00 - The Nickname Origin & Bringing Jacket Potatoes Back via Social Media03:00 - TikTok Blow-Up: From Awful Videos to Half a Million Views Overnight04:00 - Queues Around the Block & People Traveling the World for a Spud07:00 - Childhood, Being a “Fat Kid,” Dyslexia & Why School Wasn’t for Him09:00 - Kidney Failure at 25, Energy Drinks, Festivals & Business Halved Overnight10:30 - Three Failed Transplants & Accepting Dialysis as His New Normal12:00 - Post-Covid Pivot: Selling Everything & Going All-In on Social Media13:00 - The Legendary Free Potato Day That Shut Down the Town15:00 - Record £23,000 Day & Festival Life18:00 - “Beef” with Other Spud Brands & Why He Won’t Franchise20:00 - Pink Mohawk Origin Story & Why His Wife Hates It25:00 - Fame, Selfies, & Kidney Patient Stories from Followers27:00 - Daily Dialysis Routine: Home Machine, Fistula Thrill & Fluid Restrictions30:00 - £200,000 Custom Trailer Build & Monster Truck Dreams35:00 - Turning Down Million-Pound Franchise Offers & Brand Deals40:00 - Net Worth Talk: Would He Sell for £7-10 Million?45:00 - Vision for the Future & Advice: Stay Humble & Enjoy the JourneyIf you enjoyed this, smash that LIKE button, SUBSCRIBE for more raw creator interviews, and drop a comment: What’s your dream jacket potato topping? 👇Follow Spudman:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@spudarmyInstagram → Search @spudarmy(Full links in bio/comments if needed)#Spudman #JacketPotato #TikTokFamous #ViralCreator #StreetFood #DialysisWarrior #KidneyFailureStory #EntrepreneurJourney #BlueTickShow #MikeyPodcast #SpudArmy #TamworthFoodFollow The BlueTick Show On All Platforms Here!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebluetickshowSnapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/mikeymelin1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBluetickShowSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/45FTJt5SYMEQzS39IVnVM6?si=a21c92f042e2415cFor all sponsorship enquires email us at info@thebluetickshow.comFollow Mikey Here:https://www.instagram.com/mikeymelin

In this powerful episode of The Blue Tick Show, Mikey sits down with Irish Glenn — widely known as Blinking — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about trauma, loss, redemption, and purpose.Glenn opens up about being labelled “the worst kid in school,” growing up without a father, and going down the wrong path at a young age. He speaks honestly about making fast money, taking drugs, and losing himself after the devastating loss of his first son — a moment that changed his life forever.From hitting rock bottom to becoming a father again, Glenn explains how he rebuilt his life, found discipline, and developed an obsession with growth. He also dives deep into his controversial belief in numerology, claiming it predicts key moments in his life “to the date,” and how it now guides his decisions, mindset, and future goals.We also break down Glenn’s journey with Blinking, how he went from buying jewellery to becoming a key figure in scaling the brand, and why he’s now stepping into a new chapter focused on building his own legacy.This episode covers real pain, real mistakes, spiritual growth, entrepreneurship, fatherhood, and the mindset needed to turn your life around when everything feels lost.🎧 Watch till the end for Glenn’s fight predictions, his views on legacy, and what he truly wants to be remembered for.Follow The BlueTick Show On All Platforms Here!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebluetickshowSnapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/mikeymelin1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBluetickShowSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/45FTJt5SYMEQzS39IVnVM6?si=a21c92f042e2415cFor all sponsorship enquires email us at info@thebluetickshow.comFollow Mikey Here:https://www.instagram.com/mikeymelin
