| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome along to another Bite Size episode of the High Performance podcast. |
| 0:04.9 | This is really cool actually. I want you to cast your minds back to episode 31 |
| 0:09.6 | when we were joined by Kelly Jones, the lead singer of the stereo phonics. And I know that |
| 0:13.5 | the audience for High Performance has grown an insane amount in the last six or eight months. |
| 0:18.1 | So many of you might not have heard the conversation we had with Kelly. As always, |
| 0:22.3 | it wasn't a conversation about music. It was a conversation about life. And this is what he had to |
| 0:27.9 | tell us when we spoke to him about being misrepresented, being misunderstood, people having an |
| 0:33.3 | opinion when they don't know the full story. Here's Kelly Jones when he joined us on the High |
| 0:39.8 | Performance podcast. The press loved making a big thing, didn't they, when you're from a band |
| 0:46.0 | make stew at part of the way? Oh, you weren't getting on. Do you have regrets now? You were getting |
| 0:50.8 | on. You've had a period where you weren't. Then you were. But you still have a childhood friend who |

| 1:11.3 | life that two years later, we've forgotten how. Yeah, it can do that. Stuart thing was interesting |
| 1:18.2 | because again, we were very private. We knew what was going on with Stuart in his life. We knew |

| 1:27.6 | that but times when we had, but Stuart was going on this on this road where it didn't look like |
| 1:32.0 | any of us could pull him back from it. And we had to let him go. And it wasn't like getting rid of |
| 1:37.6 | a band member. As you know, in the film, I lived six stores apart from Stuart my whole life. So |
| 1:41.7 | it's like I've been in a band since I was 12. The first gig I did at 12, he was 15. So that's |
| 1:45.9 | how long I'd been with him. So when we parted ways, we didn't talk for like a year or |
