Chris and Stephen

C – Stevie, how are you brother?

S – I’m good, very good Chris yes.

C – Thank you so much for joining me on the Bought The Tee Shirt podcast mate, and my gosh, your life reads like the pages out of Goodfellas or something.

S – Well the one thing you can’t call it is boring! I believe we’ve all got a story in us, we’ve all lived a life, and it’s about overcoming things and improving as human beings.

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…

One Year NO Beer | Former Professional Footballer

Join former professional footballer Andy Ramage and I as we discuss the benefits of going alcohol free for either 30, 90 or 365 days with the One Year No Beer project.

Transcript snippet from ‘One Year NO Beer | Former Professional Footballer’ podcast

Chris and Andy

C – Andy, how are you my friend?

A – It’s hot and I’m tip top.

C – It’s funny, when you came onto the Zoom meeting before we went live and I heard you say “Hi there, how you doing”. It’s weird as I hear you say that most mornings from your inspirational morning talks. I set my Facebook t0 have the one year no beer post showing first, so you don’t get that dose of negativity as you first wake up!  For our friends at home, it’s Andy running through the forest talking about the benefits of not drinking alcohol in your life. That doesn’t mean give it up forever but for at least a particular period in life. It’s not about being a monk or something to that extreme. So from myself mate, thank you so much for those.

A – It’s my favourite part of the day Chris, just being out there in the wild and connecting with so many different people, with the truth being told, I didn’t actually think that would be a big part of what I would be doing.

Royal Marines In Combat | The First Casualty | #117

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

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.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”AVos4qheoXc” ]

Dead Drunk to Muay Thai Podcast

Paul Garrigan is a man with a story worth listening to..

Transcript snippet from ‘Dead Drunk to Muay Thai’ podcast

Chris and Paul

C – … ‘so how much time have I spent in Thailand? Well the first time I was there Paul, I got what was known as an indulgence flight, it’s basically a really cheap flight you can get through the military, so personnel can serve their bases around the world. So I flew to Hong Kong for £40, had a really interesting time there, this would have been around 1992. I was celebrating NYE there, and witnessed a massive crush panic as people began to gather for the midnight celebrations. My second experience there was being almost a witness to Hong Kong gangster Yip Kai Foon on one of his jewellery shop rampages. Its such an insance place.

R – Yes I do, which one are you?

C – I don’t know they both looked identical to me. I’m too sexy for my podcast. Brother it’s lovely to have you on and you have the esteemed honour, as we have a new producer on the podcast. Hello Ben, if you watch this and you were the first person that Ben said, “Right get this guy on the show”.

R – Really, wow. That’s a privilege then, absolutely.

Transcript snippet from ‘Red Arrows To 747 Pilot | Sqn Ldr Andy Wyatt’ podcast

Chris and Andy

C – Andy it’s great you could join us, thank you.

A – Chris it’s an absolute pleasure to be here.

C – Yeah it’s great, having a podcast you get to speak to so many people you have things in common with. Out of that sharing you get great conversation. Sometimes I forget to press record on the podcast! I’ve lost all that, that’s consigned to history now. So, my gosh, we hooked up on linked in, and I’m very fortunate to meet people on linked in with such rich histories and experiences such as yours Andy. From the Red Arrows to commercial airline pilot. Anyone who grew up in my era watched a film called Airplane, it was a spoof of all the jumbo jet movies of the seventies and eighties.
