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.

Chris and Charlie

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.

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.

Royal Marines In Combat | The First Casualty | #117

Posted on 10 February 202118 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

Royal Marines In Combat, The First Casualty features Ricky D. Phillips with an epic tale of heroic defence during The Falklands Islands war.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”SPEy6HRiaPI” ]

Royal Marines In Combat | The First Casualty

April 2nd 1982 – the day that the Falklands War erupted. Just sixty Royal Marines stood in the way of an armada of thousands, 8,000 miles from home and with no support. The story that followed was one of a shameful defeat and ignominious surrender. A story which has lasted for 35 years. Now, with first-hand accounts from the Royal Marines themselves, from the Argentine marines who fought against them and from the people of Port Stanley who watched the battle rage on their doorsteps, a new history has emerged. It is the story of an epic and heroic defence on a scale with Rorke’s Drift.

Transcript snippet from the ‘Royal Marines In Combat | The First Casualty’ podcast

Chris and Ricky

C – Ricky, how are you brother?

R – Very, very good Chris, you?

C – Yes mate, I’m firing, firing. We got over our technical issues.

R – Technical issues supposedly over, and I see you’ve got your coffee there like I have mine. It didn’t work like this on the BBC, I promise you.

C – Thank God we’re not the BBC, that’s a whole different kettle of indoctrination. You’re looking well mate.

R – Thank you, I even had a shave for you this morning.

C – I did too, I just didn’t have a razorblade! Ricky I’m absolutely honoured you’ve joined us today on the Bought The Tee Shirt podcast.

World Class Ultrarunner | Marathon Des Sables | #120

Posted on 10 February 202118 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

World Class Ultrarunner, Marathon Des Sables, features Captain Tom Evans who is one of the world’s leading competitors in ultrarunning.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”sYOfKCY9mBc” ]

World Class Ultrarunner | Marathon Des Sables | Captain Tom Evans

Tom Evans made his mark on the ultrarunning world in 2017, when he came third in the 251km desert ultra Marathon des Sables (MdS). Despite entering on the back of a bet with a friend, his third-place finish was the best result any European had ever achieved in the history of the race. Evans astounded once again in 2018, when he won the 101km CCC race at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) – the pinnacle of an incredibly successful racing year, which also saw him take the top spot – and break course records – at the Coastal Challenge Costa Rica. At 2019’s Western States 100, a near iconic fixture on the ultrarunning calendar, Evans took third place and even broke the record for the fastest overseas time at the Californian race, clocking 14 hrs 59 minutes in his debut 100-miler. A British Army Captain, Tom Evans was little known to the ultrarunning world until 2017, but is now one of the world’s leading competitors.

Chris and Tom

C – Tom, how are you Sir?

T – I’m very well Chris, very well, how are you?

C – Yeah, I’m wonderful and I just want to thank you on joining us on such short notice Tom, I really appreciate it.

T – No, not all, I’m glad you were able to find time in your busy diary to have a chat.

C – Well, I’ve got another thank you for you, which is that you were kind enough to do a quote for my forthcoming book. For people watching it should be up there to the right of my podcast overlay, called State of Mind, which is a Royal Marines slogan. It’s the story of myself running 999 miles, pretty much non stop, sleeping in my tent by the side of the road. Tom very kindly did what we call in blurb terms a quote for the book, so thank you very much mate.

J – It doesn’t really matter to me at the minute with this Corona thing going on, I’m stuck in the house no matter what.

C – It kinds of bring home the importance of routine.

J – It gives me a lot of time to work on my writing.

C – Of course. I think writing and podcasting are the two disciplines the flourish under these conditions. I call it a fiasco.

J – It certainly does, I don’t have the technical skills down for this, but I’ve been participating in a lot of Zoom calls, more in this last year than in my whole entire life, which is quite a few!

Chris and Steve

C – Steve how are you brother?

S – I’m very good Chris, and you?

C – Yes mate, other than the fact I’ve got vertigo! For anyone listening, it’s the second time I’ve had it. I get it off the computer screen, I don’t know that hell is causing it. I think it might have something to do with the way the data pulses across the screen, it hypnotises me and it takes about forty eight hours to get rid of it and I’m still in that forty eight hour period. So if it looks like I’m looking all over the place, I’m not being rude, I just can’t stare at the same spot for too long. AJ Roberts we must thank for putting us in contact.

S – AJ yep, good lad.

C – Yep, very good lad
