that's insane they actually got Idris Elba on the podcast

shoutout to Idris's PR team because this podcast's audience is THE perfect platform to spread this message! absolutely perfect collab that helps bridge generations

You can tell how lovely Idris is by how he corrected Filly on the “ promoting knife crime” but without making it too obvious so he didn’t feel dumb or embarrassed. What a G

As a Young Somali Teacher, I have nothing but respect for what you have done here. If you guy are serious about a school tour, I’d love for you to come to mine in West London. As a teacher, we definitely need more Youth centers and mentors, but also more trips for these kids to show them that there’s more to life than the ends. I would love to connect and not only try bring you to my school but to have more convos about the youth. We, the ones that made it out, NEED to give back and show these kids that we care because that is what they really need.

Idris being on the podcast and Harry Pinero still getting called older is so funny 😂😂😂

The potential impact this podcast could have for UK culture is huge, two of the most likable personalities for this generation discussing important and pressing issues in a light-hearted and accessible fashion, great to see

Please bring on Akala. I feel he'd also be so impactful in matters such as these. Brilliant episode. Mad respect for Idris Elba.

ChunkZ really did ask the questions we’re all thinking of. Well done guys

A school tour with Idris, Chunkz, and Filly needs to happen, those are the kids you need to get through to; year 7-11.

The fact they got Idris and were able to talk about such a serious issue in the UK is really refreshing to see from Chunkz and Filly 🙏🏼

Listening to Chunkz and Filly's podcast really makes me understand the difference between intelligence and wisdom. They both sometimes struggle to answer the simplest gcse question but can talk about a difficult subject like knife crime in such a eloquent and empathic way. Mad respect ❤

Filly said his best date ever was when he by accident, turned up to a party and Idris was there and they vibed all night. This feels like a full circle moment that Idris came on the podcast. This is amazing and Im so happy for Chunkz and Fills. ❤

Incredible EP 😍🔥🔥

Filly saying he did a single to “Promote knife crime” had me crying

Man I love yall!!! My lil bro passed away just this Monday and this is the only thing to bring a genuine smile to my face, I’m grateful yall, truly. Keep grinding cause it’s nowhere but up for yall 🙏🏽💪🏽❤️

This is genuinely one of the most comprehensive discussions on knife crime in the UK that I've seen. Literally so well done

I can tell that Filly genuinely loves learning. He was so engaged during the conversation and was just listening. Usually, he is more involved in the conversations but I could tell he was really inspired, and just felt blessed to have Idris on the podcast and just wanted to learn as much as he could from him.

This podcast is gonna turn legendary in a few years.

Having a mentor is over-looked. A parent and relatives can only do so much but a mentor, that is relatable to as Chunkz, Idris and Filly have mentioned, is needed for youngsters. Great pod!

I’ve always been frustrated by how the media and the middle and upper classes focus on youth violence as the primary issue, ignoring the underlying societal conditions. The reality is that previous generations have created a society where 12 to 16-year-olds now are economically forced to steal to support themselves and their families. I am also frustrated by the fact that by doing nothing today to actively help people, we continue to perpetuate this status quo. I’m so glad Mr Elba is doing this work. So cool that Mr Barrientos and Mr Mohamed did this collab. This episode had everything ❤️

They’ve taken this pod to a whole new level 😲🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏

Having an intellectual conversation about how to save your community and for youths being heard I love it mate

What a special episode. I can't even pretend that I knew there was a knife problem in the UK, but I immediately understood because of the gun problem here in America. So many "mmm" responses during the show. Conversation, inclusion of the people experiencing this (youth and young adults/families), and government accountability are what came through the most for me. Love ya Chunkz & Filly!

Im genuinely tearing up, this discussion between them is so amazing and so passionate. I just love chunkz and filly for being so open and genuine. And this passion for helping the youth is really amazing and will reach so many people. And you know they're jokers and everything but they are genuinely good people. And you can really feel that through all of their content and work but especially in this episode. This is just so cool, sending much love to them

Bro said “you’ve come here to promote knife crime”😂😂 I love filly

Filly is genuinely so kind hearted you can just tell by his facial reactions he’s so sweet y’all

This isn't just useful for those involved, this is important for those of us who aren't close to this kind of issue in their life. Spreading understanding across boundaries is so impactful. Thank you to all of you

Staring at the thumbnail in disbelief. Legendary guest and the show JUST launched. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

That just shows the humility of idris elba by just chilling with two youtubers and how far chunkz and filly have come

Having this man on the podcast is another level…salute

The best thing about this episode is it not only talks and raises awareness about knife crime but also inspires to stand up, talk, and strive to change other things that should be gone from our society

This is PR done right ❤❤❤ Amazing work all three of you. As a lecturer in therapy I’m so so proud that you guys are educating a population about the psychological/mental health side of this important topic through this pod, that might not get same education that from the people around them! One of the most impactful videos I’ve seen in a while - and to come from a labelled ‘comedy duo’ is even more inspiring!

Lost my brother due to knife violence 😢. Shoutout to Idris doing something about it🙏🏾

Just a remind to the pod staff, please include all the links to the campaigns and community support groups in the description. Much love to the work ❤

Nah this is surreal, feels like I just met Idris watching this

Massive respect to you all for having this conversation 👏 more is needed 💯 someone count how many times idris says “you know what I mean” though 😂😂

IDRIS ELBA IS INSANE 😮😮

This is by far your best podcast, lost my uncle to senseless knife crime. This is a problem especially London have had since I could remember, was completelyt unaware about the midlands. As a community we need to take action.

As a Black American Idk anything about the violence over in Englad, so tysm for bringing this to my awareness frfr. Idris is right when I look at Black British movie that highlight this I'm so detached from it as being realistic, i know that this happens but when I'm watching a movie it's escape to me especially when I'm watching a foreign movie. Also since I'm from the suburbs so I'm even more removed from this so thanks again for talking about this with Idris. Lastly i love Black British podcasts so i can have just a pinch of Black British culture in my life. I love seeing, hearing Black people all over the world. I love us SO MUCH.💜

Love love love this! As a mum it's my biggest fear that one day my son will leave my front door n not return. We have a fantastic organisation in my city run by a guy I actually went to college with called Always an Alternative, he raised money for weapons bins in our city, goes in to schools to speak to kids about knife crime, wrote a book for kids, runs youth clubs n is currently raising money for a mobile youth centre he wants to do (renovating a small mini bus type thing so he can go round to different places). There are thankfully ppl like him who care so deeply and god bless them. We need mentors, we need youth clubs we need change!! God help our boys coz this world is a mess.

Getting Idris Elba on just your 13th episode is actually CRAZY I saw Chunkz IG post but I had to come see it to believe it.

As an American I can’t really grasp the full scale of the UK knife problem but I definitely see so many parallels with our gun problems. Both are known problems yet the government is hesitant to make any real change. This is such a powerful message to spread and mad respect to Idris for all of his hard work. This pod could have easily been hilarious or entertaining but the boys decided to speak some truth. Love this pod and love everyone who’s trying to make a change ❤️❤️❤️

Best podcast I have seen!! We need more of this!!!!! Thank you Chunkz, Filly and Idris Elba. The young people need this

A shout from across the pond...hoods everywhere have the same issues. Weapons of choice are different, accents are different, but the issues are the same. Young folks need proper lessons. One upstanding man meeting with 10 youths on the regular. Another, and another, more and more and so on. The government isn't interested. They have a system to keep beds and cells occupied, not to keep them empty. Grass roots meets asphalt and concrete. Groups of youths with true guidance, accountability and a place to air grievances and decompress. The hood should take care of the hood. Then branch out and build it up. Teach the youth how to give to their own community. Like a clean up for example. A sandwich drive for the elderly. ETC... Peace ya'll.

Never seen filly so quiet before 😂😂

I am so glad you guys had him on he’s one of my favorites and he just seems like a genuine dude

Idris has so much knowledge on the subject and is so articulate, found it so valuable hearing him give his perspectives on it

This conversation about anti-knife awareness was incredibly interesting. I was ignorant about this issue prior to this conversation so I really enjoyed learning what I did

Coming from someone who’s just lost a life long friend to knife crime I find this EP so important , help kids from the start get them off the streets show them that knives aren’t the way and that there are so many different ways to “ squash beef “ other than taking someone’s life … idris has no idea the impact he’s making and with you 2 along side him too could make a whole new level of difference ❤️

I can really appreciate this podcast and what you guys do fr❤

OMG School tours with you 3 would DEFINITELY without a shadow of a doubt make a difference to the youth of today. Even just Chunkz & Filly coz you 2 are so highly respected amongst the youth of today, more than maybe you even realise. This needs to be a subject IN SCHOOL the same way we are taught about sex education, health & safety and shi**y algebra, which I'm sorry I have never ever used in my life nor has anyone I've ever crossed paths with, why not teach the kids that really really need it, about the dangers. People forget that for some kids school is there only safe space. I pray the tour happens 💜

Praying this changes in the UK. I am so tired of gun violence here in the US I had no idea this was happening.

SHOUT OUT TO IDRIS AND HIS TEAM FOR BLESSING US WITH THIS COLLAB

I absolutely love this and so happy Idris Alba came to talk and say some real things that really do matter. Our black people are suffering and have been since racism/slavery began. This was the perfect place to talk about this. Love Filly and Chunks and will always love Idris Alba

Best episode so far !!!!!! Wow started off so strong!

Wallahi Chunkz is always the smartest and most intelligent, fast thinking in the room. He does it silently, confidently and in the most easy going way. The way he handles any and every topic with such ease is so impressive. He's also so humble about his stature. Masha Allah. Allahuma baarik ❤❤❤ big love

Thank you Idris for having Chunkz and Filly on your podcast

This interview has made an impact here in the US. It's helping people understand it's not about the tool, but the act. We need to focus on the causes of crime, poverty, drugs, lack of education, and lack of opportunity. And what Elba said about his goal of banning, THAT is the reason the US 2A community refuses to give an inch. 17:00 and on explains it all. deterrence, funding opportunities.

Thank you for using your platform to chat about proper issues. It's so cool to see a podcast be able to juggle light harted stuff and then deliver important epidodes like these to a young audience. I've got huge respect for it

No way I'm tapped into podcasts this quick...I love it...keep on winning

Wow this is such an achievement and honor to have Idris Elba as a guest. Truly humbled(in my Filly voice) to be watching. Big Props to you lads. God Bless

One of the best episodes in my opinion. Really love the message they are putting out. Life changing.

Great conversation, spreading awareness and saving lives !! So proud of you all ❤

I remember being a kid and watching idris, couldn’t believe he was British and not American 😂but for the ppl I currently fw to invite one of the legends in the game really goes to show not just how much you’ve progressed over the years but Idris Elba really sees it too🥺 so here for it hopefully nothing but bigger blessings to you both chunkz and filly❤️❤️

Massive respect to all three of the bro's for speaking up about knife crime and crime in general. Hope this episode finds as many people as possible. Big up

I am truly inspired man...this was very insightful i started pausing and having conversations with myself about this topic😅...big ups to filly and chunkz for bringing idris man

Thank you so much lads for this beautiful interview. I’ve never sat down watch you two, but today I did and the way you see the world is beautiful and sweet. I grew up in violence since i knew how to speak and write and to hear you and finding myself within both of you IT’S A THANK YOU

what i love about chunkz and filly’s dynamic in the pod is that filly is a great inquisitor and chunkz responds in such a way that grants more openness in conversation, which is what makes the pod worth listening to. idris explicating his points maintained my captivation; what a great ep, had to comment

I clicked IMMEDIATELY! IDRIS ON THE POD!!! MENTAL!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

This was a fantastic opportunity to shed light on this issue. Thank you all 3 of you

The fact that idris elba is on this podcast and the whole topic of conversation was about knife crime shows how serious this situation is. Its so sad

I expected the convo to diverge within the first few minutes like it usually does on the pod, but it actually just kept getting more complex and intricate as they kept going and I actually started to not want the convo to change at all. Love for the pod, man. You man are doing the work some aren’t willing to do. ❤️❤️

Respect to you guys for using your platform to talk about serious issues like this , for just taking a few hours of your time to talk about this I guarantee you will change at least one persons life for the better, you do make a difference when you bring attention to these problems so hopefully you can do more like this 👍

Thank you guys for doing this podcast! It’s the first one I’ve seen from y’all but the topic is very appreciated and needed, thank you Idris!!🙏🏼

This has whole heartedly been my favourite episode so far....Some real, genuinely important situations spoken about 🤞🏼

I'm here for jokes and silly things, and I'm getting educated 🤯🤯🤯 no wonder why idris accept to came to this pod, he knew he can share his message to the right audience 🫡

Love how passionate Chunkz and Filly are about the campaign. Love from the US

Best episode yet, so informative and just an overall incredible educational experience

This is a really special and meaningful talk. I really think with the target that Chunkz and Filly has they will really help someone out there. Thank you Chunkz, Filly and Idris for what you're doing ❤😊

These guys pulled Idris Elba fam, this show is going to be the most epic shows in the UK, BIG UP CHUNKZ AND FILLY🔥🔥🔥

Chunkz is such a real one, I seriously have so much respect for him not just as a youtuber but someone genuinely caring and serious about humanity

Idiris is genuinely caring father. Thank you for helping the community.

Love this episode! Great way to use your platform to bring awareness to this issue.

Big up to Idris man! Such an intelligent and genuine idol to look up to. To chunkz and filly, you guys touch so many hearts across the globe. Keep doing what you guys do and your success will change lives! Shoutout to you guys 🙏🏽

Choosing this podcast for anybody to go on, they could have promoted a project they’re working on or their socials, but getting someone as big as Idris Elba on to spread the message of reducing knife crime is honestly one of the best messages to broadcast. ❤

Honestly love this sm its made me think of things from another perspective and its very helpful❤❤❤

This was such an important episode for so many different reasons! I loved it! Such a real episode! ❤

As an American 🇺🇸 Fan this is like a British dream come true! 🤯🤯🤯…Bravo Chunkz & Filly

I'm so happy that 3 people with huge influence can get such an important message out there to a massive audience

This has been a great episode and this is such an important campaign so glad it’s being talked about on such a massive platform

Loved it from Australia where knife crime is on a rise, need a part 2 with a general/ genuine convo

Allahumma Barik lakum. May Allah put barakah in all your works. And everyone's who comes across this

I'm not from the UK but I really appreciated this podcast. Crime and violence is a worldwide issue I pray we all find ways to fix it and more influential people get involve.

this is so important, needs to be spoken about so much more! this was a special one x

This is certainly one of the best things I've watched in a minute!! bless up

This made me realise how naive I am to knife crime; I live in a lovely area of the country which has relatively low crime rates. That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be educated. This was incredibly informative and makes me want to carry the conversation further. Thank you chaps!

Having Idris on the pod is INSANE and to have this deep of a conversation and spread awareness like this is remarkable! Great episode 🫶🏾

Didn’t know how much I needed to hear this, absolutely loved this episode , big up Idris 👊🏾

By far the best podcast I have watched this year. Im not even remotely close to the UK and I wish my city (Cape Town) would create this type of awareness around knives and crime. I have the biggest respect for Idris, he doesn't need to do this at all but the fact that he does is so inspirational. ❤
