Chris and Rupert

C – Rupert how are you?

R – I’m very well thanks Chris, how are you doing?

C – Yes, I’m very well and I’ve been really looking forward to our conversation. Firstly I’d like to thank you for joining my One Life Smash It community group on Facebook.

R – Yes, I’ve been enjoying it. You know normally I’d be jetting around the world for work, one of my motorcycling adventures or just yomping, but because of Covid you know I’ve been stuck here. I’m here in Hong Kong. I hadn’t watched any news for a long time, so I started to watch, but that didn’t last long. Probably for the same reason you stopped watching mainstream media. So I dipped into YouTube and found the podcast world which has been enlightening. I discovered yourself and I’ve been following some of your courses which are right up my street, like nutrition, endurance and looking after ourselves and keeping positive.

Simon Weston CBE Falklands War

Simon Weston CBE is a veteran of the British Army who is known for his charity work and recovery from severe burn injuries suffered during the Falklands War. On 8 June 1982 he was boarded with other members of his regiment on RFA Sir Galahad in Port Pleasant near Fitzroy, just off the Falkland Islands. The ship was hit and set on fire by the Argentine Skyhawk fighters during the Bluff Cove Air Attacks. His ship was carrying a huge amount of ordinance and thousands of gallons of diesel and petrol. Out of his platoon of 30 men, 22 lost their lives. The Welsh Guards lost a total of 48 men and 97 wounded aboard the Sir Galahad. Simon survived with 46% burns, in which his face was barely recognisable.

Chris and Simon

C – Simon, how are you brother?

S – I’m ok, a bit stressed with some home improvements we’re having done. Other than that I’m tickety boo. I’ve got a lot of new projects waiting to start, but this damn virus is making everything so slow. It is what it is.

C – Do you have enough time for your family with all your commitments, because you are a very busy man.

S – Well it certainly was before the Covid thing. The thing is when I’m not working I’m spending time with my family and perhaps because people see me do a lot of work they think that’s all I do.

The Babylonian Money Mafia | The Angry Bootneck | #142

Posted on 12 February 202118 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

The Babylonian Money Mafia, features Matt Taylor aka ‘The Angry Bootneck’, chatting about Trump, Biden and the state of affairs in the western world. All brought to you with The Angry Bootneck’s humourous and sardonic point of view.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”BgJp0VdelnI” ]

The Babylonian Money Mafia

In this episode former Royal Marines Commandos Chris Thrall and Matt Taylor – aka ‘the Angry Bootneck’ – discuss Trump, Biden, the US election and the possible relationship to the money system. Buy ‘1984’ here: https://amzn.to/3pO3RRr Matt Taylor (Royal Marines) is YouTube’s ‘Serially Steamed-Up Soldier!’ The Angry Bootneck went to war five times after arriving at the inescapable conclusion that Iraq and Afghanistan are more scenic than North-East England. British by birth and American by choice, he has an interest in politics and military matters on both sides of the Atlantic. The Angry Bootneck also likes rage, ale and referring to himself in the third-person.

Transcript snippet from ‘The Babylonian Money Mafia | The Angry Bootneck’ podcast

Chris and Matt

C – Matt, how are you brother?

M – Chris! It’s fantastic to see you again, how the devil?

C – Yes, I’ve been looking forward to this and I like to hear the Angry Bootneck shouting on YouTube, because it makes me feel like I’m not the only one. The only thing I will say for our American brothers and sisters that Bootneck means marines, like JarHead. The only thing is I’ve been an angrier bootneck than you this last month.

M – Yeah, you don’t seem as quite as sanguine as me about the events over the last twelve months, what’s going on? Humour seems to underlay everything I do, my channel is not as serious as yours. Ultimately my channel is a comical take on the news with lots of swearing and rants. I try to approach things in a more humourous way, even though the world appears to be ending on us!

Chris and Matt

C – Matt, blue skies brother, how are you doing?

M – Blue skies, that’s it.

C – Yes, I’m delighted to be chatting to you today Matt. You have a fascinating history and an amazing Youtube channel that I suggest anybody listenining has a quick surf over there once they’re done here. It’s aviation, drones, I’m trying to pick my technical words carefully, especially as a pilot, albeit a private one. But yes, what a history you’ve got mate.

M – I was obsessed with aviation and flying since a child, it’s all I ever wanted to do and I think that has led over into where I am now, so 36 years all squeezed in and I’ve managed to squeeze a lot into it.

C – Charlie, how are you my friend.

C – Good, how are you doing today Chris?

C – I should be saying hola, shouldn’t I?

C – Ola,ola amigo.

C – I can speak travellers Spanish as I’ve been very fortunate enough to have backpacked through every country in the Americas. As you know the more South you get and the less Espanol, you’re going to have a few problems feeding yourself.

C – My Spanish isn’t perfect by any stretch but Colleen’s is a lot better than mine.

C – So Charlie, I’m delighted we’re chatting, I’ve seen you online quite a bit and for me I’m getting to that stage in my life where there’s a lot of knowledge. I’ve been learning about the world for 20 years and now I’m trying to refine my learning with a more spiritual sense of the world.

Chris and Chris

C – Chris, how are you Sir?

C – I’m very well thank you, it’s an honour to be invited onto your show, so thank you.

C – The pleasure is all mine and it’s an honour to meet someone of your calibre and I don’t say that lightly. One of my philosophies in life is to get out there and smash it! You only get one life and when it’s gone, it’s gone. We met through Linked in and when you send your CV over, not like you have to do that these days, it must be quite hard to narrow your one down.

C – That’s really kind of you to say. I mean I follow your philosophy, you’ve got one life so get the maximum use of it.

C – Yes, exactly, we’re all starting to get there aren’t we… Well some of us are! Can we talk about your childhood, my old stomping ground. It was Belfast wasn’t it?

S – Belfast yep.

C – Yeah I recognised some of the places out of your book. Now you didn’t grow up with a religion there? You moved over as a child?

S – I was born here Chris, I was taken over there as a six month old child, I had no recollection as to going back…

Chris and Alan

C – Alan, how are you?

A – Not too bad thank you Chris.

C – You’re in a rush to get out of the country I believe.

A – Yeah, I should have been flying out four days after the lockdown started, so unfortunately everything has been put on hold including the return trip. This has probably been the most stressful trip yet to be honest , there’s just so many factors involved in it.

C – I’m terrible myself for getting ready to leave the country I’m awful and I’m not talking about a holiday or a pleasure break I’m on about maneuverers and adventures. Batteries, MP3 player loaded up, kit mustered, all laid out, double checked and have I got all my phone numbers backed up. Now I cant even imagine you’re going to a warzone, that’s going to be even added stress.

A – Yep, trying to find batteries, camera parts and all sorts of engineering pieces in a warzone is not easy. At any stretch.
