576 - WINDOW KID - Lifetime Ban From Jet2, Mashtag Brady Mayhem, & Sobriety After Addiction and Alcoholism

Rapper, MC and viral sensation Greg AKA Window Kid needs to be on your radar. He sets the record straight about the origin of his stage name, chats incorporating humour in his lyrics, and shares what chaotic pal Mashtag Brady is actually like off camera.  From being kicked out of school (Stevie was horrified at the reason, Jaack didn’t think it was too bad), to earning himself a lifetime ban from Jet2 airlines, Window Kid dives into the unpredictable path that took him from troublemaker to touring the UK.  Greg gets brutally honest about his struggles with alcoholism and drugs, and the hospitalisation that forced him to rethink everything. After peeing blood and being diagnosed with life-threatening pancreatitis, he’s now one year sober and shares how addiction has permanently changed his life.  We also play a game “Fill In The Blank” with his bizarre old tweets, learn some Nottingham lingo, and FaceTime a taxi driver who once gave him a lift years ago. It’s also the second time that a guest has walked out of the studio, but unlike the PieFace prank on Stevie, this time it’s something that Jaack said…  The pre-sale tickets for Window Kid’s UK tour has completely sold out, but join the waiting list for general sale ticket launch on Friday!  www.windowkid.uk  Learn more about your ad choices.
