Hi Gary how’s your day going
Ian Wright really is an absolute gentleman. Telling Nev to keep the shirt on after the banter at the beginning when he said he'd lost his confidence to wear it, proper salt of the earth, caring bloke.

“I was told I was a silver spoon kid but I told him I made it gold”. Some response that to be fair 🤣
Eddie is unreal at telling a story. What a podcast. Probably the best out there
Quickly becoming my favorite show! Amazing casting and they let the guests TALK! Love it so far!!

You can tell that eveyone is genuinely loving Eddie's stories. They are happy to let him talk. He's a legend. Great show!
This was just perfect. Great chemistry and Eddie was down to earth, genuine and a great guest.

The little jab at Simon Jordan at the end. Love it 😭😭🤣
The thing that makes this show and the panel so great is that despite these guys all being legends of their craft, famous, successful, however you want to describe it. They arent overblown with ego and just come across as decent people that you could easily sit down and have a pint and chat with. Excellent show as always!

Gary Neville at face value has always been the Person on the side. But he doesn’t take himself to serious and is a successful businessman now. The fella needs to be applauded.

Interview with Eddie is Gold. Loved every bit of this episode. Quality lads 👌🏿🔥
What a really entertaining show. And Eddie Hearn was a great guest with amazing stories. Loved it from start to finish!
The 5 that make up stick to football, are top class and with guest appearances like Eddie Hearn this has become a must watch, thankyou
Love the overlap! Top work as ever Gary. Keep it up and don’t let them change the relaxed format 🙌🏾
This is some of the best content out there online and TV. Class, keep it up! ❤
Im loving this series, overlap is real breath of fresh air, miles ahead of anything similar, the banter and chemistry is top drawer!
Brilliant! That Chisora story was had me rolling 😂😂😂
Could listen to Eddie Hearn all day long, genuinely interesting and witty with it. Great episode
Loved the intro showing them all chilling before it began, that needs to stay!
Neville - Good, likable, down to earth guy which is why The Overlap works. Brilliant Podcast channel.
You guys are fast becoming my favourite show, great banter & great guests.
Quality, wat a show loved every minute 👌
Wow, great show. I watched every minute of it! Thanks eddie for being a good sport! Appreciate all you guys on the panel!
I never realised how great Eddie Hearn was. He speaks so well and you could listen to him all day. Brilliant interview Gary and co. 👏
Unbelievable work from Gary again, picking guests that fit perfectly and portray what the overlap is all about. Never thought we would see the day Roy Keane is talking about Jake Paul
what an enjoyable episode of the overlap , Eddie hearn comes across as a great bloke, good banter between all, real entertaining stuff .
I could honestly just sit and listen to these talking all day 😊 The perfect podcast 🙌🏻
The best show going on KZread. I'm not a boxing fan and had never heard of this gent, but found it incredibly fascinating and entertaining. Keep it up!
Roy couldn’t give a shit, I love it
Great content Gary…you have got the winning formula for these shows!
I love this programme, such a fantastic episode and what a nice bloke Eddie is
Love this show. The 5 of you have a great chemistry and it's so entertaining. Keep them coming!
People call Eddie the silver spoon kid, probably always will. But you can't deny that he's carved his own path, massively expanded what once was a small regional boxing promotion into the new leading international promotion (since showtime have decided to close doors). But he's the perfect face of a promotion, personable, cutt throat, blunt, but not nasty. He has ten times more humility than his peers like Oscar De La Hoya, Bob Arum... Even Dana White has been downright evil and shady! Wonder when he'll manage to get Carra VS Neville signed though 😂
Absolute banger of an interview
This show is just getting better and better, love listening to the various guests and the banter among the whole group is amazing.
This is absolutely brilliant, top work Gary and the team. Eddie is so captivating! Best episode to date. #bringeddieback
Phenomenal storytelling by Ed, laughed throughout, especially the part about Chisora 🤣...Very entertaining, and insightful interview as well.💥🥊
The crossover to boxing! My favorite episode yet. Stick to football indeed 🔥

Could listen to Eddie all day. How he adapted to modern day(streaming), how he handles situations(fury), how challenging he is, the emphasis on kids with sports. It's all just spot on. Another spot on interview. Keep up the great work, Gary.
Absolutely brilliant episode! What a great guest. This is fast becoming the best sport channel on KZread. Thanks for this, I loved every minute of it.
How can you not like Eddie Hearn the guy has some great story’s 👌 really enjoyed this.
This was a great podcast, Eddie was really entertaining I remember seeing his dad Barry at Stratford St waiting for the Shenfield train, he looked real slick suited and booted, great huge smile on face, I thought good for you Barry,

such a great show! can't wait for next episode already !
Eddie Hearn has countless amazing stories. And he's only 44! Imagine the stories when he's a grandad. "Gather round..."
Top billing!! These are absolute gold!! Gary's top is 'offside' fantastic! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He gets well rinsed Gary and takes it all in his stride. Just class. 👏👏

If you are having a shit day, you know the overlap will lift your mood Gary is a great host and I just enjoy the overall chemistry with you guys.
