Ginger Bucks Matter

Join me and Martin Maloney, aka Eddie Durkan from the box-office smash Hardy Bucks and star of the hit TV series Vikings, as we discuss utterly totally massively riveting damn fine good stuff! “Hardy Bucks was created in 2007 when Chris Tordoff (Viper Higgins) filmed Martin Maloney (Eddie Durkin) and Owen Colgan (Buzz McDonnell) for a college project. After sitting on the footage for a year, Tordoff uploaded the shorts to YouTube. The show’s popularity eventually got it commissioned by RTE who took editorial control of the show. Starring Martin Maloney as Eddie Durkan, Chris Tordoff as ‘The Viper’.

It is written by and produced by Mike Cockayne, Hardy Bucks features Peter Cassidy, Owen Colgan and Tom Kilgallon, plus a cast of extras from Swinford and beyond. The Hardy Bucks Movie was released by Universal Pictures in Feb 2013, achieving Box Office No 1 on its opening weekend and becoming the most successful Irish film of 2013.”

Transcript from ‘Ginger Bucks Matter | Martin Maloney aka Eddie Durkan’ podcast

Chris and Martin

M – We’re live!

C – We are live! Martin, how are you mate?

M – Very good Chris, thank you very much, how are you doing?

C – Ahhh, it’s so good to speak to you, I am absolutely made up!

M – I have to say I was seriously impressed with the Robbie Williams interview if I do say so myself. If it’s good enough for Robbie Williams it’s good enough for Martin Maloney.

C – Well, yeah I have to say I was good in that yes! …

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt | Krav Maga Teacher | #73

Posted on 1 March 202114 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt podcast, features Jon Hegan who is an IKMF Expert level, chatting with Chris Thrall. Jon tells us about his illustrious career from serving in The Royal Marines, to becoming an expert in martial arts.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”O8xsviVoFU4″ ]

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt | Krav Maga Teacher

Few other UK martial arts instructors have such an extensive and authentic martial art CV. A former IKMF Expert level, Jon Hegan has trained in the martial arts for over 30 years. Jon is one of the few people in the world to be a full 1st degree black belt Professor in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu under UFC legend Royce Gracie. He is also a BJA Judo black belt. Jon is one the highest qualified Krav Maga instructors in Europe. Although anyone can teach martial arts, in order to teach a practical self-defence system like Krav Maga it helps to have some first-hand knowledge in dealing with ‘extreme’ violence. For 20 years Jon ensured this was the case. After a six-year service in the Royal Marines, serving in an operational commando unit, he then spent two years “on the door” as a bouncer. For 15 years he worked with young offenders in various secure units, experiencing a daily exposure to violence. As well as teaching a regular class, he also teaches Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu at the Metropolitan Specialist Training Centre. There he has taught members of the Public Order instructors, as well as operators from the Special Air Service, and Special Boat Service.

Chris and Jon

C – Jon, how are you brother?

J – Great, great how are you?

C – Wonderful, I can say. I’ll tell you what I’m going to do Jon because people always think these are interviews and they’re not. This is my podcast, this is me chatting to my mate about stuff we find interesting. It could be stuff we both might have done, and you’re certainly a man that your resume shall we say, puts Rambo to shame…

Arctic Warfare Training AWT | Royal Marines Commando Unit

Ever wondered what it is like to fight in the Norwegian Arctic, carrying an eighty pound bergen on a pair of skis, jumping into ice-cold water and sleeping in a snowcave? In this podcast I talk about my arctic warfare training in Norway (AWT) in the first year of a Royal Marines Commando Unit.

Transcript snippet from ‘Arctic Warfare Training AWT’ podcast

Chris

C – Hello friends, I hope this finds you well. Welcome back to another in my what’s the royal marines really like series. I’ve been really looking forward to doing this for quite some time now, because I’m going to talk about Norway, which looking back at least was an experience I was so glad I went through, if maybe I wasn’t so happy at the time for reasons I’ll explain. So Norway is where the Royal Marines do their Arctic Warfare training. I first sort of came across the Norway experience as opposed to just hearing about it when I was on rear party at 42 Commando. So I left for training in February, bitterly cold when we did our commando tests and I went to 42 Commando which is at Bickley, just outside Plymouth, and I was on something called rear party which is basically guard duty. The reason being the whole unit were away on winter deployment or exercise and this was of course in Norway where 42 and 45 commando go every year, at least that’s how it was when I served…

Transcript snippet from ‘Tornado Pilot | Tim Davies’ podcast

Chris and Tim

C – Tim, how are you brother?

T – Good thanks Chris, lovely to be hear.

C – Yes, now we got to pretend like we haven’t been talking for the last hour.

T – You’ve ruined everything!

C – Our secret is out.

T – Exactly

C – Well my gosh, again I’m so lucky doing what I do Tim you know. I really get to chat, not only to the most fascinating people on the planet, but all the people if I was to have my choice in life, who am I going to chat to today, it’s going to be people like yourself. So thank you so much for coming and sharing your wisdom and your experience. A fighter pilot, how did that come about?

T – You know it’s interesting because I was actually a bomber pilot. When you say you’re a bomber pilot to the civilian community they don’t understand what that is because they’ve seen Top Gun and you know I get it. I was a Tornado GR4 pilot, which is the aircraft you can see just on the back over here. As we said previously before we came on air, father was in the military. Fathers, fathers, father was in the military. So I ended up going into the military…

Transcript from ‘Martial Arts BBC Presenter’ podcast

C – Chris, how are you Sir?

CC – Hello mate, very well. Thank you for having me on the podcast, I’m a big fan of your show Chris.

C – Ahh that’s an absolute honour mate, I’m not always good at taking compliments, because I just do stuff.

CC – A lot of high achievers are the same, can’t take a compliment.

C – Yeah, what I do know is I have love and respect so thank you for saying that. This podcast and a lot of content creators will tell you this, and you are one yourself. You’ve certainly been in the media a lot in your history Chris, but anyone will tell you it all starts with a first move. An idea, a dream, that you put into action. I didn’t have to start to talking into that webcam, well not that webcam, that’s an expensive one and I started on the one that comes with your PC. Yes it all starts with an idea, you start talking into that web camera, when it’s not breaking down like it just did! When people start to respond and say ‘Chris I really like that video, I guess it’s a bit of a wow moment.

Transcript from the ’15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group’ podcast

Chris and Tim

C – I was going to say how are you Tim, and now I’m going to say how are you colours?

T – I’m great thanks.

C – Is that the same in the army, we call our colour sergeants, colours and that’s an acceptable thing to call them.

T – No, in the army it’s called colour, without the letter ‘s’ on the end. It’s quite funny because I worked with the marines quite a bit. I did three deployments with three commando brigade and they were all calling me colours. When I moved into London, they all called me Sir. Then I had an opportunity to go back and work with my regiment and they were calling me colour, so it was quite bizarre the way I was being treated with the different regiments.
