Transcript snippet from ‘The ANGRY Bootneck! | Matt Taylor Royal Marines’ podcast

Chris and Matty

C – Mr Angry Bootneck, how the devil are you?

M – Alright man, how you doing? Matt or Booty, but we are both boot necks so it seems like we’ll get confused if we use our num de guerres.

C – I’ll be Angry Chris and you can be Angry Matt.

M – I’m always angry.

C – Before we go any further I just want to say a massive thank you to Andy. Andy if you’re listening, big love and respect brother.He sent me a message today and he said Chris, you’ve got to check this guy out, The Angry Bootneck. Surprisingly enough, I get a lot of messages and most of them are quite good pointers. So I watched your first video and you weren’t in it, you were just talking with the screen up.

M – Oh you mean the angry desk.

C – Yeah, I just pictured this angry maybe like sixty year old that hadn’t done much with his life.

MMA Warrior Legend | Dom Gibbs | #99

Posted on 16 February 202115 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”EsE1MuPJw-w” ]

MMA Warrior Legend | Dom Gibbs

Dom’s bio: Starting my martial arts journey at the age of 6 in Judo and then going on to do 10 different martial arts. Being the Son of a Royal Artillery soldier, martial arts was a big part of my life, my hero was Bruce Lee, acting out all the moves from Enter the Dragon. As a young adult, my journey was put on hold due to work and life getting in the way, having spent around 5 years away my life was taking a very different turn, one which saw me involved in football crowds and ‘gangs’.

After a few charges against me and me realising that my life was not where I wanted it to be I decided that I had to make changes and the only way I knew how was to walk into a martial arts dojo again. I needed respect and discipline back in my life. My life changed, I got promoted at work reaching senior Management status within a local authority and then leaving to set up my own businesses.

Transcript snippet from ‘MMA Warrior Legend | Dom Gibbs’ podcast

Chris and Dominic

C – Dominic, how are you Sir?

D – I’m very well Sir, you?

C – Firing mate, yes! You’ve got to be in this current climate, you’ve got to know where you ship’s heading. Or there seems to be a lot of people who wants to steer it for you. Should we start Dom, by just saying a big thank you to Naz Hussain QC, who’s put us in touch and I think we’re going to give a shout out towards to the end for Naz’s son Sal who’s a friend of mine for his upcoming charity challenge, so thank you Naz…

Last Man Out | A 9/11 Memorial Special

William Rodriguez was a janitor in the North Tower of the World Trade Centre. On September 11th 2001, he was the last man to get out alive. His is a story you don’t want to miss!

Transcript snippet from ‘Last Man Out | A 9/11 Memorial Special’ podcast

Chris and William

C – Willy, how are you Sir?

W – All good, thank you Sir. I’m very tired, as I’ve had too many interviews this whole week in preparation for the memorial event, but you know it’s part of my busiest week of the year. Every year for the past nineteen years, it has been non stop for us. ]

C – Do you ever wish this didn’t happen to you, I mean obviously we wish it didn’t happen to anyone.

W – That’s a good question, a good question. I guess you’re destined to do different things in life and I guess that fell on my lap and I was able to handle it afterwards. So I think that’s part of my mission, why it became a mission. So someone, it’s not I wish it didn’t happen to me, I didn’t wish 9/11 happened.
