[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”d4OjRDE1Ng4″ ]

Surviving HELL The Chennai Six

Arrested and imprisoned in India as one of the ‘Chennai Six’, Nick wasn’t just innocent of any crime, there was no crime. Stationed on an anti-piracy ship to protect vessels against Somali pirates, the six were arrested and falsely charged with intruding in Indian waters and the possession of illegal weapons. Nick lost four years of his life trapped in a legal nightmare in India, thousands of miles from home and his family, spending the bulk of his time in appalling conditions at Chennai prison with extremely limited contact to the outside world. Despite this, Nick refused to buckle and now he tells his full story of endurance and survival for the very first time.

Transcript from ‘Surviving HELL The Chennai Six’ podcast

Chris and Nick

C – Nick how are you brother?

N – I’m good thank you very much.

C – You’ve been through a lot.

N – Yes, you could say that.

C – On the bright side you’ve got a book coming out.

N – I do yes and I’m trying to promote it at best as I can. Hopefully during lockdown people can potentially read and take something worth of value from the book, especially when I’m talking about isolation. People may say you were in a prison and I’m at home. For people with mental health problems they feel they are a prison in their own home. I want to shed light on what my isolation was like and the stuff I had available, people can then think well I’m not in a prison and look at the stuff they have at their disposal.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”Q0q784pFMW8″ ]

Army Commando Joins Special Boat Service

Dean joined the Britain’s elite Special Boat Service (SBS) and took part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in recent times. But then, following a horrific parachuting accident, Dean’s dream career was cut short, and he was put to its toughest test.

Transcript from ‘Army Commando Joins Special Boat Service’ podcast

Chris and Dean

C – Dean how are you brother?

D – I’m alright yourself?

C – Yes, I can’t complain. I’ve been in the garden for the last half hour, and my God I’m not one of these people who says that it’s too hot because it can never be too hot. Bloody hell it’s hot.

D – I’m in Aberdeen and it’s over twenty five degrees here, people are spontaneously combusting in Scotland.

C – Are they still blue?

D – Yeah, but they’ve gone a little bit white now.

C – Massive thanks for joining us mate, especially at such short notice. It’s all kicking off for you now then with your book released.

D – Yeah they hardback was released in October, and yesterday the paperback was released and we’re supposed to be out and about promoting it, but because of the current situation, I haven’t been able to do that and attend literacy festivals and other events that we had scheduled. So it’s all had to be via social media.

C – Well I don’t think that’s a bad thing to be honest.

D – Right, I think there’s been a lot of positives on this period. I don’t believe in the phrase we’re all in the same boat, because we’ve all got different boats and people in all sorts of different situations…

The Ginger Bucks Matter podcast, features star of The TV show Vikings, Martin Maloney, aka Eddie Durkan and host, Chris Thrall.

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

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.”

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…

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.
