The chat between genuine mates are the best podcasts

I absolutely love the British and UK dark sense of humor and making jokes in the middle of danger. They are exceptional and stoic warriors.

Makes you sleep better at night knowing men like these two are protecting our country, the British SF and armed forces most under funded, but still the best in the world at what they do

Lupe Pintor was the Mexican fighter that fought Jonny Owen’s. Died round 12

Such respect for you guys. I remember in the Falklands when a couple of SBS came on board our ship, I remember thinking 'thank f*ck they are on our side'.

Big respect to Phil and Billy from Ukraine's 53rd Brigade! SAS guys are true legends here too. The embodiment of professionalism and honor. Would love to see Phil here with us filming a doc like the one he did on fighting ISIS.

I am very proud to say that I trained Christian Craighead as an Army Cadet when I was an Instructor, he always wanted to join the army from a very young age. He was also at school with my son.

Just come across these podcasts and I am absolutely loving them. My father is former British Special Forces and I wanted to follow in his footsteps but sadly I had to have a hip replacement when I was 14 so that ended any chances of a military career. Love hearing these warriors talk about their experiences, they are true British heroes’s who have earned the right to be respected and looked after.

16 half yrs, looked a lot lot younger, 9half stone and I went through Sutton Coalfield in 84. They thought I was there for cadets or junior leaders and couldn't believe that I was there for the regs. Passed fine but they denied me QLR or any. Point blank wouldn't put me in infantry due to age. With the self assuredness of being a teen I got my 2nd choice. Signed on 17th birthday and couple days later in basic and managed several years service.

2 legends! Thank you both for everything you've done and are doing.

I used to train at Peacocks in Canning Town! I was a young man from the north of England, went in there terrified back in the mid-90s. I just thought everyone was an either a gangster or a cockney hard nut. I honestly could’ve have been more wrong. Some of the warmest, welcoming, diverse and honest people trained there! And they really did train, the boxers used to push themselves harder than I’ve ever seen. There’s a chance our paths may have crossed, but that place has many treasured memories! So great to hear you talking about the place!!

Bill and Phil ( which should be a travel documentary) have helped me tremendously in my life, in dealing with self doubt, alcohol and ptsd. These men continue to serve us with there advice and stories. Hats off to both of them. Legends and heroes
