Transcript snippet from podcast

Chris and Robert

C – Robert, how are you brother?

R – Chris, I’m doing good mate, how are you?

C – Nice to be called a mate by an American! Do Americans know that’s like an English and Australian thing?

R –  Yeah, we’ve seen enough Guy Ritchie movies now to understand it.

C – It’s buddy in America right?

R – Brother, brother is the big one.

C -I like brother, it’s what we all should be isn’t it. I wanna say Robert, I’ve had some of the best times ever with Americans. I’m proud to have served with them, I was in Sicily with the USMC. I learnt to fly in America and I learnt to skydive in America. It’s such a kind, and wonderful hospitable country…

Transcript snippet from podcast

Chris and Alex

‘Hello Friends,

C – Alex, how are you brother?

A – I’m great thanks, good to be here and thanks for having me on.

C – Oh, it’s so kind that you agreed to come on at a pretty short notice. Although, we’re not really going anywhere at the moment, what with this lockdown. I saw your story on Linked In and I immediately thought, hang on I’ve seen this guy do a TedX talk. Which is impressive in itself. I remember you saying about turning adversity and bad experiences into something positive. Which is something I massively promote, if you don’t have a NO negative outlook, you’re just digging yourself into the ground …’

Posted on by Chris Thrall
I chat with former Royal Marines Commando and Netflix director Marty Stalker. We discuss the Royal Marines Reserve (RMR), Afghanistan, film-making, satanism, satanic Hollywood and plant medicine.

Transcript snippet from podcast

Chris and Marty

‘Hello Friends

C – Marty, how are you brother?

M – I’m good, good to see you buddy.

C – Every now and then, well it’s not every now and then, it’s four times a day at the moment. I meet someone on social media or on linked in, that just has a fascinating story. Who’ve done so much stuff with their life, that I’m quite happily envious, I think is the right word. So it’s great to meet you.

M – Good, I’m a legend in my own mind.

C – That’s what we’re aiming for though isn’t it?

M – Yep, totally. I’m 39 and I could have written three or four books by now … ‘

#47 Royal Marines Endurance-Challenge Legend! | Matt Disney RM | The Bought The T-Shirt Podcast

Posted on by Chris Thrall
After the loss of his best friend in Afghanistan, Royal Marines Commando, Matt Disney RM, dedicated his life to extreme challenges, raising thousands of pounds for veterans mental health charities. Matt recently climbed the highest mountain in the solar system … in his front garden!

Transcript snippet from podcast

Chris and Matt

‘Hi Friends

C – Hi Matt brother, how are you?

M – I’m good, I’m good. Mentally I’m good anyways, and spirit wise. Body is quite conditioned to be fair. Obviously I’m not fresh, but that’s what you can expect from a challenge like that.

C – So just briefly for our guests at home could you outline what you’ve just done so they know what we’re talking about?

M – I set out to raise some money for the NHS and the PPE for the situation we find ourselves in with Covid. I came up with idea after the lockdown, isolation and quarantine to create a mountain in my front garden. However I’ve already done Mt Everest replication on a Stairmaster, so I needed to trump that. I created a one metre mountain and climbed it for the equivalent of the highest mountain in the solar system …’

Posted on by Chris Thrall
Ever wondered what it is like to get blown up by an IED in Afghanistan? Former Royal Marines Commando turned author and speaker Ben Williams talks us through his deadly tour on the frontline.

Transcript snippet from podcast

Chris and Ben

‘Hello Friends,

C – Ben, how are you brother?

B – Good, yes, how are you?

C – Great thanks, it’s always nice to be asked that on my own podcast. Where about in the world are you? I thought you were quite local to me in the South West?

B – I’m currently staring at Exeter Airport right now. It’s quite quiet here at the moment, with what’s happening in the world. So the airport is quiet, but it’s been really sunny for a few days, and then today it starts to rain. With two small children, you really know what lockdown is when it starts to rain … ‘
