On a warm August night in 2016, Oliver Dearlove was out with friends in Blackheath, South London, when a casual conversation with a stranger turned into an unthinkable tragedy. A single, unprovoked punch from a man he'd never met ended his life within seconds, shattering the world of those who loved him. In this episode, we discuss Oliver’s life, the dangers of one-punch attacks, and the devastating ripple effects of impulsive violence.But before we get to the heavy stuff, we take a detour through the chaotic landscape of our minds—covering everything from reframing toxic positivity, the questionable number of boiled eggs one person should consume in a day, and the weird yet undeniable power of a well-timed cherry drop. Expect the usual mix of serious discussion, gallows humour, and existential crises over breakfast foods.Sources used in this episode include: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39078685">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39078685</a><a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/oliver-dearlove-killer-trevor-timon-jailed-for-six-years-for-singlepunch-attack-a3475331.html">https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/oliver-dearlove-killer-trevor-timon-jailed-for-six-years-for-singlepunch-attack-a3475331.html</a><a href="https://news.sky.com/story/oliver-dearlove-mother-tells-of-last-moments-with-son-after-fatal-attack-10780497">https://news.sky.com/story/oliver-dearlove-mother-tells-of-last-moments-with-son-after-fatal-attack-10780497</a><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3763545/Murder-probe-death-30-year-old-assault-victim.html">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3763545/Murder-probe-death-30-year-old-assault-victim.html</a><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39030498">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39030498</a><a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/oliver-dearlove-trial-bankers-mother-hits-out-at-women-who-walked-away-as-her-son-lay-unconscious-a3473796.html">https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/oliver-dearlove-trial-bankers-mother-hits-out-at-women-who-walked-away-as-her-son-lay-unconscious-a3473796.html</a><a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/revealed-brother-of-violent-plasterer-convicted-of-killing-banker-oliver-dearlove-is-already-behind-bars-for-murder-a3474151.html">https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/revealed-brother-of-violent-plasterer-convicted-of-killing-banker-oliver-dearlove-is-already-behind-bars-for-murder-a3474151.html</a><a href="https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/657950.denies-helping-to-kill-teenager/">https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/657950.denies-helping-to-kill-teenager/</a><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38992393">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38992393</a>Thanks for tuning in!
