You can’t remember P coy – really !!
Absolutely fantastic episode dodge…wot a down to earth man and so transparent witch is very rare these days…love it
It’s funny how the Para’s say they’re the most elite out of the other units, as do the Marine Commandos, lol, nice bit of competition
Dodge is back, really looking forward to this one 😅🤣
Van dammed sounds like a knob
The best defence is not to be there.
That was something i was told when i started Judo and Taekwondo by my stepdad at a young age. Grounding me to not think my training was a guaranteed means of protection.
My mate Andrew Smith (Smudge) was a stick man, absolutely fkn insane! (Hello piggywiggy) he taught me how to drink. His favourite tipple… Barley wine (gold label) and cider snakebite, yep I kid you not! Left with "exmplary service" in his red book and the rest…Now a full blown Christian!
So they're basically running with a bag of sand or a bag of cement on their backs, which is what i use to visualise it as they're on average between 22-25kg each. That's for UK viewers as it gives a good way to put rhe weight into perspective.
Top notch dodge 👍
If you don't have BJJ near you or if you're lucky to have a variety of martial art lessons available. I absolutely recommend Judo. So underrated right now, but its a great discipline to learn.
Great story, much respect to the Paras who kept us safe from the IRA in Belfast 👍
So random seeing lee mathews on here. I use to do kickboxing when I was young and remember him.
Another brilliant podcast Dodge & what a fascinating guest Lee is. 👏
Left the paras in the early 2000s because "not much was going on"…….seriously?????
I saw Van Damme in the Midland Hotel in Manchester. We were both staying there to watch the U.F.C event where Bisping Knocked out Sinosic. He was next to me at the booking in desk. Im only 5'11" and i thought he was a proper short arse…then i noticed he was wearing cuban heels to try and boost himself up a bit, blert.
Wem
Another cracking episode 😊
Para’s run through walls Royal Marines climb over them 🤷🏻♂️ says it all really 🤭😉
I joined the paras in 1979 at just over 17 years old and passed but I respected people that had done selection twice or three times to join the regiment, really good interview took me back thinking about it
Guards para 🇬🇧
This was absolutely fantastic Dodge.. cheers buddy, loved it. What a fantastic guy to interview.. 👍🏼
Great story and conversation, cheers! That tops fresh dodge 👌
Great video, P company, where everyone rattles around with 50 mg brufen, the army’s cure for all illnesses 😄, burgen burns on your back,blisters on your feet covered in zinc tape,shin splints, but when you pass it’s the greatest feeling in the world
Great interview. Really likeable bloke
P Company …. that's the training documentry he is on about … watched that myself when I was a kid…. its a great watch.
Dodge. As a headphone listener. Please mount the mics OFF the table. Or at least tell the guests not to keep banging the table. Constant thumping nearly made me turn it off 😢
Please take this in the nicest way possible. I love your podcasts ❤
What a top, top man Lee is. Smart, tough but very humble. Great interview once again Dodge.
Just magic.
Brilliant interview Dodge 👍What a fantastic guy and a proper gentleman 👍 Well known to us ex Paratroopers 🏴💙✌️Respect brother Utrinque ParaTaz 👹💥💥💥
Great insight to the paras guys!(hey Dodge you should get Neville Staple on-the original Rude boy-he has quite a story I believe!)
Hello Dodge. Only just discovered your chanel after watching the Michael Jackson body guard interview. Well I hit subscribe straight after that and I’m working my way through your videos. Brilliant mate. I’m from Liverpool and will be spreading the word and getting people to follow. Keep it up mate. Well done 👍
Comes across as a really solid lad, great interview
Really enjoyed listening to this
Dodge can you get on a queens guard
Down to earth Para 👍 veterans Lottery worth joining
I'm just crossing the Eurotunnel back to England, and I've saved this for my final journey home! Im absolutely buzzing.
Hi Dodge, I love the content from all of episodes I've seen, remarkably interesting topics from experience gained by the most amazing true events, awesome individuals on your shows, have you come across a gentleman called Gary Waterman, his ongoing story is on the epic, see him on Chris Thrall,s podcast, also awesome Character, thanks for all your excellent episodes, respect, J. G
Another cracker
Upmost respect for you and your work ethic
If only we had more ordinary lads like like you in government the country would be a better place
Im not sure if i missed it. But i can confidently say from 1st hand experience that Lee's blackbelt test is nails too.
Interesting fellow.
I thought the marines was harder to get in to than the paras.
Absolutely brilliant. We certainly need more of this type of man in the world right now! 💪
All the best Lee.
What a legend of a man Lee is, another great interview Dodge.
I dont think Van Damme would have made P company, haha.
Great interview this one! Blokes got bags of carachter
37lbs plus wpn n water
Nigel Benn, yes Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
This man is an absolute legend, great episode Dodge.
The yanks at Tulsa airbase watched the Russians roll out of the camp at the start of their drive to Kosovo.
Also what the paras will never tell you, it was the Welsh guards recce platoon that guided the paras in
