This week on The Custard Splat, we're joined by one of the most recognisable Southend United voices on social media - AlexisLOS (cmon)

From building a huge following on TikTok to using his platform to support great causes through his running challenges, Alexis has become a familiar face to Blues fans both online and at Roots Hall.

We chat about his Southend United journey, how social media changed his life, the responsibility that comes with having an audience, and the charity work that continues to inspire thousands. We also look at his work alongside the club on recent campaigns and what the future holds.

It's a brilliant conversation that goes beyond football, giving you the chance to get to know the person behind the videos.

After taking some time away towards the end of last season following the passing of his father, Scott Barber makes his long-awaited return to The Custard Splat ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

We catch up with Barber on everything he's missed, get his thoughts on Southend United's appointment of Kieron Dyer as Head Coach, and discuss the summer business so far, including the arrivals of Darren Oldaker and Anthony Hartigan, as well as Keenan Appiah-Forson's move to Oldham Athletic.

We also dive into the new Erreà kits, the reaction from supporters, and what the new partnership could mean for the club moving forward.

Finally, we're joined by Fabrizio Taddei, Head of Global Partnerships at Erreà, for a fascinating behind-the-scenes conversation about the Southend United deal, how long kit development really takes, the scale of the operation behind the scenes, and why Erreà believes supporters should trust the process.

A packed episode to kick off what promises to be a huge season for Southend United.
