4:08 Yeah.

4:08 Is that like a salt beef bagel?

4:12 It's sauerkraut.

4:13 It has to be uh for me it has to be live cultured

4:16 which is

4:17 So it's basically sauerkraut but it's like it's live cultured cuz you can

4:20 get sauerkraut normal sauerkraut just be dead like there's no bacteria in it.

4:24 Yeah, cuz it's fermented uh what is the vegetable?

4:26 Is it cabbage?

4:27 Cabbage.

4:27 Yeah, fermented cabbage.

4:28 So if you get live cultured, it's got good bacteria in.

4:30 So make sure it says live cultured on the on the job.

4:32 Yeah.

4:33 Yeah,

4:33 my guy.

4:34 We are in probably the nicest[ __] house.

4:37 I mean, it's not really a house.

4:38 Like, the house is in front of us,

4:39 but behind we've got the smoke house, Eddie's barbecue setup.

4:44 We've got a sauna that's going to be turned into, you said, a strip club, right?

4:49 Yeah.

4:55 We got a tank behind us.

4:56 We got another tank in the front yard.

4:58 This is[ __] mental.

4:59 How come you you're the guy that you

5:01 don't want to leave your local area, do you?

5:03 No, not really.

5:04 I mean, I was born and grew up in a house less than a mile from here.

5:08 Really?

5:08 Yeah.

5:09 Um, and

5:11 you definitely bought that back.

5:13 I I I do actually own my parents house.

5:15 Yeah.

5:15 I bought bought it off my parents so I could keep it in the family.

5:18 Who's the tenant?

5:20 Hey,

5:19 who's the tenant?

5:22 Somebody.

5:22 Yeah.

5:23 Kick him out for Should we just kick it?

5:24 Should we kick him out today for a laugh?

5:27 We're in Stoke on Trent.

5:28 Is there a bit of like a small town syndrome here?

5:31 Does everyone know each other?

5:32 Uh, not really.

5:34 No.

5:34 Feel like this is the place you'd see your headmaster in in the little.

5:37 No.

5:37 If I saw my head headmaster anywhere,

5:39 I'd probably slap him because he was heavy in it.

5:41 Yeah.

5:41 He was a proper[ __]

5:42 What was you like in school, Eddie?

5:44 Have you always been big?

5:45 Always been big.

5:46 Yeah, I was um I was quite a mischievous kid.

5:50 So, I was expelled from primary school.

5:53 Had to go to two primary schools.

5:54 And then I managed to get to year I'm going

5:57 to say just the start of year 10 in high school.

5:59 Like end of year nine.

6:00 I was expelled from high school.

6:02 And then I was just home homeschooled.

6:03 No way.

6:04 But um decent grades,

6:06 but just didn't quite fit in with the society of being told what to do.

6:11 Yeah, mate.

6:13 Yeah.

6:12 I mean, what's that all about?

6:14 Being told what to do.

6:15 There's quite a lot of people that do that nowadays.

6:17 I think school is I mean, it's a cliche thing,

6:19 but you do go and just become[ __] an employee somewhere.

6:24 I mean, we're not we're not built out for that.

6:26 I mean, look at us, bro.

6:27 And that's what that that's what school is.

6:28 It's training to be a sheep.

6:30 Yeah.

6:30 And no no offense to anyone.

6:31 It's training you up to do that 9 to5 role for the rest of your life.

6:34 That's what school is.

6:36 Do your kids go to school?

6:37 Yes, they do.

6:38 Yeah.

6:39 I mean, I'm a living example of, you know,

6:42 you don't need academics to be successful in life,

6:45 but I will push them for academics.

6:48 Do you know what it is?

6:48 Some people do, though.

6:50 I think we're uh it's the kind of thing, you know, where it's I mean,

6:53 everyone's talking about this whole like

6:54 manosphere[ __] you know, everyone's getting

6:57 telling everyone they can grow up, become a millionaire.

7:00 It's not for everyone, bro.

7:01 And I feel like school is good for the majority of people, you know?

7:05 It's good social skills.

7:06 It's I mean, I've met some kids that are homeschooled and they're[ __] idiots.

7:10 Yeah.

7:10 I mean, they look at the floor when they're chatting to you like,

7:11 "Oh, son." But uh yeah,[ __] him.

7:15 If he goes, "Mate, I kind of rate the, you know,

7:17 the way the the the kind of gypsy way of living

7:20 and the they the dads kind of take their kids

7:23 scaffolding with them or whatever." Like just on jobs from young.

7:26 You need you need both.

7:27 You need both worlds.

7:28 I agree.

7:28 You need the people that are going to work

7:30 the normal jobs and be doctors and nurses.

7:33 Agreed.

7:33 You know, lecturers and whatever.

7:34 And then you need people like me that do the other

7:36 side of things and people that set up their own businesses.

7:38 You have to have a good mix of everything, of course.

7:41 So, Sideman inside,

7:43 I[ __] miss you.

7:44 You know,

7:45 I knew, mate.

7:46 It's uh it was really nice to be in the house with you for one week.

7:48 I'm surprised.

7:49 I knew you was going to get into the final.

7:50 Did you think you'd win?

7:52 No, not in a million years.

7:53 Yeah, I I honestly went in with just no expectation.

7:57 I think that actually did me a load of favors.

7:59 I just wasn't asked

8:01 in the slightest.

8:02 See, I don't think people actually believe that.

8:04 But there was a lot of people.

8:06 I think by the time the final six come around for the final,

8:10 I don't think anything g I don't think

8:11 anyone gave a[ __] about the the prize money.

8:14 And I said from day one, I didn't think I'd make it past episode three.

8:18 Um but I was like, mate, I mean, why the[ __] didn't you guys vote me out, man?

8:22 Pure BS.

8:24 Like just just why could you vote someone else's like Yeah.

8:26 Just like the life the life of the show, literally.

8:30 Exactly.

8:29 It would have been absolutely boring without you there, mate.

8:32 So

8:32 love you, bro.

8:33 Yeah.

8:33 What did you learn from uh your time inside?

8:37 Um,[ __] hell.

8:38 I mean, look, it taught me a lot of patience, a lot of tolerance.

8:42 It's It was tough for me to be out of my comfort and and go

8:46 and live with 12 other people in a in a[ __] studio for for seven days.

8:51 It was tough.

8:52 Um, yeah.

8:54 I mean, just told me just slow down and just enjoy

8:56 the moments cuz stuff like that doesn't come around very often.

8:59 And then, you know, when when you're in it, oh, this is wank.

9:02 But when you're when you're afterwards, you're like,

9:03 "Actually, that was kind of missed it." Yeah, it was an experience.

9:06 I'd do it again.

9:06 Genuine.

9:07 Yeah, you would do it again.

9:08 I would do it again.

9:08 Definitely with the same crowd.

9:11 I mean, one thing I learned from being inside is I need a[ __] sleeping machine.

9:15 What's that thing you've got?

9:16 CPAP.

9:17 Sleep apnea.

9:18 Sleep apnea.

9:18 Yeah, you definitely got sleep apnnea.

9:19 Do you reckon?

9:20 You was quite adamant on this.

9:22 100%.

9:22 Yeah, I've It was bad, bro.

9:24 It was bad.

9:25 I think I've got like a dust allergy, though.

9:27 I wake up and my sinuses are all just blocked.

9:29 No, I just think you've got too much[ __]

9:31 fat around here and it's really just closing your airways.

9:33 That is what it is, isn't it?

9:34 It's being fat.

9:35 Yeah.

9:35 So, either lose weight or get the So, how's it work?

9:37 You cuz you were sleeping on your back.

9:39 You put the mask on.

9:40 Just a little a little nose cushion and all

9:42 it does is just force just normal air.

9:45 Just keeps a constant pressure.

9:46 Just keep your airways open.

9:47 Stops your snoring.

9:50 Okay.

9:49 And keeps that oxygen piling in so you're never starved of oxygen.

9:52 So, you actually get much better sleep with it.

9:54 Cuz I've woken up suffocated some nights panting.

9:58 That sleep apnnea, man.

9:59 Yeah.

9:59 __] That could kill you in it.

10:01 Yeah.

10:01 And that if you're doing that all night

10:03 without you won't even know you're doing it.

10:04 You're doing that all night like every

10:05 10 minutes holding your breath for 2 minutes.

10:08 That's going to completely fry your CNS and like

10:11 you just wake up feeling like[ __] all the time.

10:14 All right.

10:14 That's something worth looking into.

10:15 It's worth worth going for a sleep study.

10:17 Definitely.

10:18 Yeah.

10:18 Beef dick.

10:19 Yeah, beef dick.

10:20 I was uh I'd like to say thank you for uh

10:23 face[ __] me on in front of a global audience.

10:25 I was saying on my Twitch stream that You're welcome.

10:28 Yeah.

10:28 My dad uh you know worked his ass off for generations.

10:32 They were in a in a village in Turkey.

10:34 He done everything he could to bring his family here

10:36 for his son to end up sucking dick on on Netflix.

10:38 I mean I can't imagine it was the proudest moment.

10:40 He actually my dad ended up watching episode one.

10:44 Then he ended up on season one.

10:48 Right.

10:48 So he's like he called me the next day.

10:49 He goes, "Oh, I'm watching the show." And uh where are you?

10:52 Yeah.

10:52 He's like, "Oh, it's like loads of new people." I was like, "Yeah, yeah.

10:55 Keep watching that one.

10:56 We're coming.

10:56 I don't want him to get to that[ __] episode where I'm uh shoving

11:00 Oh man, that's that's like that's proud moments.

11:04 I mean, it takes a real man to[ __] go a dick for the team like that.

11:07 Agreed.

11:07 For, you know, to spend 12 grand on a hot water dispenser

11:12 and then 5 minutes later suck dick to save 10k.

11:14 I don't really know where the balance is in that.

11:16 Completely made sense.

11:18 Content first, baby.

11:19 I knew what I knew when that plate when that what's them things called?

11:22 The the

11:23 serving dish.

11:24 Yeah.

11:24 Yeah,

11:25 when that uh the clch, is that what it's called?

11:27 Was raised.

11:28 I knew what time it was.

11:30 I knew what time it was.

11:32 I kind of don't know what to do now.

11:33 What do we[ __] talk about?

11:34 Like that Monday following, you know, the final episode, I was like, great.

11:38 Like, I'll just[ __] laugh over.

11:41 Yeah.

11:41 What do we do now?

11:42 Oh, we just go KMS.

11:43 Die happy.

11:44 Yeah.

11:45 Well, yeah.

11:46 Not expressions.

11:49 Oh, you know, people have been getting on to us.

11:51 I think we've taken the expressions thing quite literally.

11:53 We love him.

11:54 It was a game show.

11:55 It was a game show.

11:56 He was a snake, but you know.

11:58 Yeah.

11:58 He He needed bullying out of there and we bullied him out.

12:01 We did.

12:01 Perfect.

12:01 We did.

12:02 Yeah.

12:02 Uh yeah,

12:03 there's no room for snakes in life.

12:05 Yeah, there isn't.

12:05 If that was a real life friend, he'd be out of my life

12:09 100%.

12:09 Like Thor's there.

12:12 I think that's quite brutal as well.

12:13 Lydia's elimination.

12:14 I was like, Lydia, Thor, she was lingering.

12:17 She was chilling, bro.

12:18 She was in the house like refusing to leave kind of.

12:20 The door's there.

12:21 Yeah.

12:21 Hurry the[ __] up.

12:22 Hurry up.

12:23 Thanks.

12:24 So, uh, Eddie, you are the world's strongest man.

12:28 Now, what does this mean?

12:29 Are you actually in the world right now, the strongest?

12:33 What?

12:33 Well, I won the title back in 2017,

12:35 but once you've won the world's strongest man,

12:37 you are always the world's strongest man.

12:38 It's a bit like when you win

12:40 the heavyweight title of the world in boxing,

12:42 you're always the heavyweight champion.

12:44 You know, you never really lose that title.

12:45 So, what you first won it when?

12:48 2017.

12:49 2017.

12:50 Yeah.

12:49 How old are you, Eddie?

12:50 I'm 38 now.

12:51 What a[ __] G.

12:53 Yeah.

12:53 So I retired at 29.

12:55 Really?

12:56 Yeah.

12:56 Retired from what?

12:56 Being the world's strong man.

12:58 Retired.

12:58 So I won the World's Strongest Man and the next day I retired.

13:01 Ah.

13:02 But you you was winning stuff.

13:03 You was the UK's strongest man for quite a while now.

13:06 Yeah.

13:06 Six years in a row.

13:07 Six years in a row.

13:09 Ah.

13:09 And then you went on to worlds

13:10 and then won Worlds.

13:11 Yeah.

13:11 So tell me, how how does one become the world's strongest man?

13:14 I mean, all right, let's go back.

13:15 Yeah.

13:15 So growing up, when did you realize cuz you've got what they call it?

13:18 Um the the Hercules gene.

13:20 Yeah.

13:20 So, when did you realize you had that?

13:23 I would say I was quite blessed in in sport in general,

13:26 you know, like even like sports days,

13:27 I'd be like always the top one or two kids,

13:31 you know, like running, race, anything, strength, I'd always be top.

13:34 Really?

13:34 Yeah.

13:35 And then I um my mom was a swimming

13:37 teacher and my elder brothers were into swimming.

13:39 I saw this.

13:40 You was a national swimmer.

13:42 So, I I ended up going to national championships at age 10

13:45 and I won every single every single front call race you could do.

13:49 what uh 11 12 13 did the same just won

13:53 everything set British records and I was on like

13:56 I was on like the world they call it

13:57 the world class potential squad it's basically the junior

13:59 Olympic team and I guess that's where I

14:03 knew I had a talent you know where whether

14:06 I put my my heart and soul into something

14:08 I just had the genetics to excel at that

14:11 this big guy just winning everything.

14:12 Yeah it was nuts.

14:13 Fast forward[ __] 20 years later he's winning inside.

14:17 So wait, what was you competing?

14:18 The swimming is what?

14:20 100 m.

14:21 Yeah.

14:21 So I did I did all distances.

14:23 So I won the 50 m, the 100 m, 200 m, the 400 m, and the 1500 meters.

14:28 I won them all.

14:29 What is 1500 meters in the water?

14:31 So a mile just under a mile.

14:32 How many?

14:33 Go hit the wall.

14:34 Go hit the wall.

14:34 Yeah.

14:35 Yeah.

14:35 So four lengths would be 100 times that by 15.

14:39 Good times that by 15.

14:40 Uh yeah, 1500.

14:42 So a lot of lengths.

14:44 __] hell.

15:03 I'm in your ass now, Eddie.

15:05 Get in that[ __] pool.

15:06 I don't think the camera's frame rate will pick it up.

15:09 I'm that fast.

15:10 It's pointless.

15:11 I rate it.

15:12 So, 13.

15:13 I I hit a bit of trouble.

15:14 It's I got expelled from school.

15:16 Um, got in with the wrong No, well, not even the wrong crowd.

15:19 I just got myself into a bit of dirty situation where I was

15:22 addicted to heavy drugs and I used I used to drink a lot.

15:26 Like what type of drugs?

15:28 Cocaine, cannabis, whatever.

15:31 That's the good[ __] though, bro.

15:32 Yeah, it's the good[ __]

15:33 And then I I I would honestly go and buy a crate

15:36 of beer every single day and drink a crate of beer to myself.

15:39 That was a real life Homer Simpson.

15:40 Oh, mate, it was nuts.

15:42 What beer?

15:44 Hey,

15:43 what beer?

15:44 Uh, usually the stellar artisa and we used

15:46 to call it stellar[ __] you because every time

15:48 you get to about your eighth can you'd

15:50 have a pipe guaranteed you'd be in a scrap.

15:54 So that was right.

15:54 Come here you.

15:56 Yeah.

15:56 __] hell.

15:57 So yeah, that that sort of whole happened at once.

15:59 I got a nan that was very close to diagnosed with cancer.

16:02 I managed to get a girl pregnant

16:05 and then obviously because of all that[ __] my swimming went downhill very fast.

16:09 I was kind of like

16:10 swimming in m.

16:11 Yeah, swimming in m.

16:12 So wait, hold on.

16:12 You're still 13 these times?

16:14 Still 13, 14.

16:15 Yeah.

16:15 __] off.

16:16 Yeah.

16:16 And uh the the swimming hit hit rock bottom.

16:19 I s all my times just sort of dipped

16:20 and that and then I got a very heavy bout of depression.

16:23 Like really bad.

16:24 Diagnosed with depression.

16:26 Uh prescribed Prozacs.

16:28 I had to see a psychiatrist once a week every week for two years.

16:32 You[ __] prick.

16:36 It's funny.

16:39 Oh, I'm really upset.

16:42 you couldn't.

16:43 But during that time,

16:46 there was like some really dark, horrible moments in my life.

16:49 And it was actually my mom that one day,

16:52 you know, I was probably about coming on to 14,

16:54 15, and and my mom sort of said, "Look,

16:56 look, you can't stay at home all day wanking." And

17:00 mate, this is so[ __] I'm going to say something very similar.

17:03 Anyway, so my mom joined me in a gym and I

17:06 ended up uh going to the gym and give it a month,

17:09 every time I walked out of that gym, I felt better.

17:12 I got a feeling of selfworth.

17:14 My anxiety and my depression just sort of melted away very very fast.

17:18 And that was it.

17:19 I was hooked.

17:20 I was I was a gym addict, you know,

17:22 and I guess I'm a very I've got a very addictive

17:25 personality.

17:26 Very addictive.

17:27 This is why I was addicted to to cocaine,

17:29 to to drugs, and you know, and alcohol in essence.

17:32 And that was replaced with the gym.

17:34 Um, and that's when I started my weightlifting journey when I was like 14.

17:37 And uh, yeah, I never looked back.

17:38 Blessed enough to go on and make a career from it.

17:41 Yeah.

17:41 You know, it's mad that you said that thing about your mom.

17:43 Yeah.

17:44 So, I smoked weed for the first time when I was 18 years old.

17:48 Yeah.

17:49 And

17:50 that's late.

17:51 Very late.

17:52 That's very late.

17:54 I lost my virginity at 18 as well.

17:56 You[ __] That's

17:56 Everything was quite late.

17:57 Yeah.

17:57 That's proper gay.

17:58 Yeah, I know.

17:59 Yeah.

17:59 Very super gay.

18:01 So good.

18:02 He was a guy as well actually.

18:07 So uh I suffered with something called depersonalization.

18:13 Depersonalization.

18:13 Yeah.

18:13 Which is basically you start seeing yourself you trick

18:16 your brain into thinking that you're you're in a video game.

18:19 Yeah.

18:19 And you start seeing your POV almost detached from reality.

18:25 Right.

18:24 So I suffered from this for about six, seven months.

18:28 Uh no genuinely for the best part of a year.

18:30 And I was in bed kind of bedrotting most days.

18:33 I was about 18 19 these times.

18:34 I had a job.

18:35 I started working at Vice.

18:38 But I just mate I was in I was just constantly in bed.

18:42 Yeah.

18:42 Thinking that there's something wrong with me.

18:44 And I've done everything.

18:45 I called people, spoke to help lines.

18:48 Mate, you know what it really took for me to actually get the[ __] up.

18:51 And and a lot of people might disagree with this, but I don't really care.

18:54 My mom came into my room one day.

18:56 Yeah.

18:56 And she goes, "Get the[ __] up out of bed.

18:58 There is nothing[ __] wrong with you.

19:00 go outside, get fresh air, and[ __] pattern up.

19:03 And you know, from that day, call it tough love,

19:06 call it whatever you want, call it[ __] being realistic about the situation,

19:09 mate.

19:09 I've just been like, just crack on.

19:12 Just get on with stuff.

19:13 And honestly, like I[ __] love my mom to bits.

19:17 I'm a mommy's boy at heart if you couldn't tell.

19:19 Yeah,

19:20 __] And uh yeah, mate.

19:22 Honestly, it was my mom coming in that day.

19:24 So that was a very When you said that part, I was like, "Fucking hell." Yeah.

19:28 So now now now Jim now 500 kg now I'm like Eddie.

19:32 Yeah.

19:32 Sometimes you just sometimes a good stern word

19:34 from a parent can be that that turn of the key.

19:37 Well there's like

19:37 different pathways.

19:38 Yeah.

19:38 I see all this soft parenting[ __] online nowadays and it worries me man.

19:42 Oh it's

19:43 it worries me.

19:44 It it is very worrying me.

19:45 I mean I get it with my I'm very hard on my son and then

19:48 and then and then you know the message is is very very soft on him and

19:53 it's a good dynamic.

19:54 I think that's a good dynamic as long as you don't override each other.

19:57 So when I'm giving him the drill,

19:58 he comes in and saves it, it ruins it and then they become Yeah.

20:03 I don't really I don't really rate all that.

20:04 I I honestly think like a very motherred boy and and someone

20:07 who's very very protective and has everything done for them

20:10 like you know the the washing done,

20:12 the you know the food for them and everything.

20:14 I think you're setting that person up to be for failure

20:18 a failure but a narcissist cuz then they

20:20 expect everything in life to be handed to them.

20:22 Yeah.

20:23 And that that in my opinion,

20:24 that's the problem with today's society is everyone's waited on, oh,

20:29 your feelings all right, everything's[ __] so sensitive.

20:32 You're going to go online, you're going to see people say[ __] you don't like.

20:35 You're going to go to a restaurant, your food's not going to be cooked properly,

20:37 you're going to have you're going to be given Fanta when you ask for co.

20:40 Like, it's like crack on.

20:41 Do you know what I mean?

20:42 Yeah.

20:42 But people people are melting these days over the small.

20:44 You're going to get voted out episode one.

20:46 Like just[ __] Yeah, it is.

20:49 I mean, snowflake society is again it's it's real life though, is it?

20:53 You do see it.

20:54 You do.

20:55 Yeah.

20:56 And it's funny because I think the Yeah, people are entitled nowadays.

21:01 Everyone must think the same.

21:03 Everyone must mind, mate.

21:04 There's so many things wrong with today's society.

21:06 One of the That's one big problem is everyone's too[ __] morbid and sensitive.

21:11 The other problem I see is um it's this it's this um it's the reward.

21:18 It's it's the hard work reward scheme we've got going these days, right?

21:22 So, back in my day, if you wanted a nice car,

21:25 you'd have to work your[ __] dick off

21:27 to buy a car for like £1,000, £1,500, right?

21:31 Whereas nowadays, a 17year-old can walk into[ __]

21:35 Mercedes and get a 40 grand car on finance.

21:40 So, they've had this massive reward and they've done[ __] all for it.

21:43 Yeah, I agree.

21:44 And it it it's setting them up for failure for the rest of their life.

21:48 Yeah, but that that's that's a social media thing though already.

21:50 Everything's accessible.

21:51 Everything's online.

21:52 Everyone's got this way of I don't know.

21:54 We just everyone wants to be lit.

21:56 They do, mate.

21:57 Yeah.

21:57 It's it's But everyone's got this like,

21:58 oh, live in the moment sort of mentality,

22:00 but I I'm a very and I always have been a very forward thinking person,

22:05 you know.

22:05 When I was 18, I bought my first house the day I was 18.

22:09 A house?

22:09 A house.

22:10 Then shut the[ __] up then, bro.

22:11 You have 40 grand.

22:12 You bought a house at 18.

22:14 What are you on?

22:15 Well, this is the thing, though.

22:16 I I'd rather buy a house.

22:17 And I drove around in a shit£,000 car.

22:20 I agree.

22:20 Right.

22:20 And I bought a house at 18.

22:22 I bought my second house at 19 and so on and so on.

22:24 And I always drove[ __] cars.

22:26 But people would look at you and think you've got, you know,

22:27 and it wasn't until I was sort of 24, 25, I start,

22:30 you know, start buying nice cars going to do well for myself.

22:34 Yeah.

22:33 And now I can I can go and buy a[ __] tank, you know?

22:37 But it's because of that forward thinking.

22:39 It's because I always fought for the future

22:41 and didn't spunk all my money up the wall

22:43 as soon as it came into the bank.

22:44 You know, paying 800 quid finance, 800 quid insurance, 800 quid on fuel,

22:49 and then it's like, right, how how have I got money to save for a house?

22:52 __] I haven't.

22:53 I spent it all on this[ __] car that I can't afford.

22:55 Drive a smart car, act your wage.

22:58 Yes.

22:58 Yeah.

22:59 And go get Yeah.

22:59 Get stacking.

23:00 I I can handle not say at some point I was

23:02 driving on in like a[ __] shitty banged up Ford Fiesta,

23:06 you know, at some points, you know, like early teens and that.

23:08 Don't get me wrong, I've had my nice cars,

23:11 but and you you see the comments and everyone say,

23:13 "Oh, you see your mate have a brand new BMW."

23:15 And I always said to myself,

23:16 "Fucking crack on cuz you'll be a[ __][ __] when you're older." And they are.

23:19 They're all Yeah, they are.

23:20 They are.

23:21 They got[ __] all to the name.

23:22 They probably still live with the[ __] mums.

23:24 Yeah, most of them do.

23:25 Yeah, that's I mean I drive around in a tank so Yeah.

23:29 relatable.

23:29 I mean, what's that trying to What are you trying to say there?

23:31 I'm just saying it's like a very small dick cheap tank.

23:34 It's That's big dick energy, mate.

23:36 It is big.

23:38 Yeah.

23:39 Taking up like the whole Lamborghini and Ferrari is small dick energy.

23:42 Yeah.

23:43 Yeah.

23:43 All day long.

23:44 Yeah.

23:44 Tank big dick.

23:45 Yeah.

23:46 How How much are them things?

23:50 Um I mean they've really rocketed in value now since the wars began.

23:53 I would say something like that.

23:55 Probably 3 to 400,000.

23:57 __] hell.

23:58 Um really and they're getting less they're getting more

24:00 rare because the roadleal tanks are getting dismantled.

24:03 They're getting sent off for war.

24:04 They're getting less and less and less.

24:06 I honestly think in 15 20 years that'll be a 2 million pound tank

24:10 because there'll only be like 50 left in the world that are road legal.

24:13 What's the maintenance like?

24:14 Pretty good.

24:15 Really?

24:15 Yeah.

24:15 You just keep the keep the level.

24:17 I'm a mechanic.

24:18 Windscreen fluid.

24:18 Windscreen.

24:19 You're a mechanic?

24:20 Yeah.

24:20 I was anything you don't[ __] I was a mechanic for 10 years.

24:23 So I I understand engines.

24:24 Every time I jump in, I check the oil.

24:26 If any lights come on, I know what it is.

24:28 You know, if I hear something bang, I'm like, "Oh,

24:29 that's the alternator gun." I just I just know[ __]

24:31 That's the land mine I've just driven over.

24:35 Yeah.

24:35 __] hell.

24:36 I was looking at um Yeah, there was a Discovery,

24:38 a Land Rover Defender all taken apart and it

24:41 did have um a roof mounted[ __] LMG.

24:46 So, that's a that's a genuine 50 cal on top of there.

24:50 Really?

24:51 Yeah.

24:50 It's a genuine 50 cal.

24:52 Got the certificate to say it's decommissioned.

24:54 Yeah, that's a genuine gold.

24:55 Genuine 50 cal.

24:56 Have you ever been pulled over in that?

24:58 Loads of times.

24:58 Has it got number plates and everything?

25:00 Yeah.

25:00 Yeah, it's very legal.

25:00 What does the V5 say?

25:02 The beast.

25:04 Uh, it doesn't say it's a tank, weirdly enough.

25:06 It just says it's like I forget the name

25:08 of the It's like a brand that makes the tank,

25:11 but yeah, the V5, you wouldn't think it's a tank.

25:13 Yeah.

25:14 Normal car.

25:15 Yeah.

25:16 And then you got a smaller tank out front as well.

25:18 Maybe we can put a picture of it.

25:19 What's that one?

25:20 As if the big tank weren't enough.

25:21 So this is this is um an Abbott.

25:24 So that's like a tank destroyer.

25:25 So that's about 20 ton really.

25:27 And that's accurate to about 11 miles.

25:29 That's like a proper that's a proper war machine.

25:32 And then the smaller tank, that's a CBRT.

25:34 And that's more of um it's more of like a get in get out tank that does 70 mph.

25:40 __] hell.

25:40 It's[ __] rapid.

25:41 And that's more for getting infantry in and out of battles very quickly.

25:44 You know, it's got a cannon, but it's more it's more for getting moving troops

25:50 on the ground.

25:50 And then you got the big beast out front as well, which is[ __] big.

25:53 It actually tanks the tanks.

25:54 Yeah.

25:55 But uh we got a big Ram truck out front as well.

25:57 I was looking at an I might get an F150.

25:59 I[ __] love them, man.

26:00 But like American imported, you know,

26:02 not these Ranger Raptors in uh that we get in the UK.

26:04 Yeah.

26:04 So that's that's the equivalent of the F350, right?

26:08 Yeah.

26:08 That's like the equivalent.

26:09 Yeah.

26:09 So the F-150 is a bit like um like a Raptor, in it.

26:12 Yeah.

26:14 Yeah.

26:13 But Raptors are not they look Yeah, bro.

26:16 It's made for you.

26:17 The American Raptors are[ __] mint.

26:30 What's a full tank on the tank, Eddie?

26:31 Uh it's like 600 liter capacity and it's about a mile a mile a liter.

26:36 So it's four miles to the gallon.

26:38 How much is a full tank?

26:40 __] hell.

26:41 I mean right now probably 13,400 quid.

26:44 __] hell.

26:45 Tank.

26:46 But that's got a 600 mile range on it.

26:48 So drive 600 miles on that.

26:50 Yeah.

26:51 Still though for 1,300.

26:52 Yeah.

26:53 Could fly 600 miles for less.

26:55 You've had some You've had some funny moments online.

26:58 There was where we are now, a family pulled up and they tried it.

27:03 I think they only wanted the photo already.

27:05 Why'd you do that?

27:06 Yeah.

27:06 You couldn't.

27:08 It was nice.

27:09 I just give them the picture.

27:11 Yeah.

27:11 Well, look, man.

27:12 I'm not here a lot.

27:13 Okay.

27:13 That was a big moment, by the way.

27:14 I must say it was a big moment, right?

27:16 And I'm I'm not here a lot.

27:17 And here from all honesty, you know,

27:19 I I I sleep in a different property a lot of the time

27:22 for a lot of reasons.

27:23 And I just happened to be here.

27:24 I was having a I was I was by that fire pit there

27:27 having a cigar with my son and I heard all this[ __] beeping.

27:30 I ignored it.

27:31 I was like, "Whatever, you get it.

27:32 People beep going past the house all the[ __]

27:34 time." And then uh Alex came out and said,

27:38 "Look, there's been some guys at the front.

27:39 They've been there 20 minutes.

27:40 I've asked them to leave three times.

27:42 Like they won't[ __] go.

27:43 Like they've been rude to me." And I just I just sat there.

27:47 This happens all the time, man.

27:49 Where people come

27:50 a bit of a especially for a town where you know where we are.

27:52 This is probably the biggest thing they've got going

27:55 other than the sainsburries that looks like

27:56 a well your sainsburries looks like an airport.

27:58 Yeah.

27:59 So it was like, you know, I was just fed up of people taking liberties.

28:03 Yeah.

28:03 You know, just knocking on, oh, can I have a picture?

28:05 And every time I'm like, look, man,

28:06 this is this is like some of a meet and greet or some bodybuilding expo.

28:11 And I refuse.

28:11 Point blank.

28:12 No, I don't do pictures anywhere near the house.

28:14 People drive by.

28:14 Oh, can I have a picture?

28:16 Like, no, mate.

28:16 This is my[ __]

28:17 Cuz you're you're you're letting people know that it's okay, is it?

28:20 Right.

28:21 And these[ __] just wouldn't let it go.

28:23 So, I just took a deep breath and I was like,

28:26 I'm not even going to give these guys

28:27 the[ __] justification to tell me why they're here.

28:30 I just went down

28:32 and I was just open I just opened the door.

28:33 I was like, mate, just[ __] off.

28:36 Yeah.

28:35 He's but but I don't[ __] care what you've got to say.

28:38 I don't care who the[ __] you are.

28:40 Just[ __] go.

28:41 And then I moved on to the next car.

28:43 He drove off.

28:45 And then the last car,

28:47 that[ __] just arguing with me, so I just want a picture of my kids.

28:50 I says, "Well, you're[ __] you're beeping your[ __] horn.

28:53 My kids are in.

28:54 __] it.

28:54 What about my[ __] kids?" True.

28:56 Anyway, so __] off, whatever.

28:58 And then he just he he started creeping away.

29:00 Just as he started creeping away, he looked me dead in the eyes.

29:03 He was like, "I'm going to knock you the[ __] out." And I just saw Red.

29:09 I was just like, you know what?

29:10 Like,[ __] this.

29:11 You're having it.

29:12 So, I chase after him and um and one of the[ __] was

29:16 filming out of his window and I spotted him and I thought, "Right,

29:20 I'm going to grab that[ __] phone and I charged

29:23 at him just and I mean just missed the[ __]

29:25 phone and he managed to get away and then literally

29:29 an hour later so like someone sent me a[ __] message.

29:32 One of my close pals was like, "Mate, have you seen the[ __][ __] online?"

29:37 This is when they spun the narrative.

29:38 And this was like an hour later.

29:39 The son had had it on their[ __] page.

29:46 Every single comment was like, "Oh my god, Eddie Hall scaring kids,

29:50 chasing people down the street." It just made it look

30:12 "I've seen what's I've just let you stew on it, but I'll tell you now.

30:14 Like, you've not had a single order today on your website." And I was like,

30:17 "What?" He's like, "You are being."

30:19 He's like, "You are being cancelled.

30:21 Like, no one will buy any of your stuff because it looks

30:23 like you[ __] scared a load of kids and threatened some people unnecessarily."

30:31 Sent it off to an editor.

30:36 And I watched it back and I was like,

30:38 "You[ __] bastards." They were literally sat out there

30:40 for 20 m 20 minutes beeping their[ __] horn constantly.

32:15 What's it What's in the uh is that the is that the the AB blue for your tank?

32:20 What you drinking there?

32:20 We're on the electrolytes here.

32:21 Oh, nice.

32:22 Yeah.

32:22 You got your own beast uh electrolytes, right?

32:25 I've just started taking creatine.

32:28 Yeah, it's the best thing I've ever done.

32:28 But but I dry scoop it.

32:30 Apparently, you shouldn't, mate.

32:32 __] snort your bum off if you want to.

32:34 Sweet, mate.

32:34 I I went in the gym.

32:35 Listen to this.

32:36 55 kg on bench pressing now.

32:38 Oh,[ __] That's good, man.

32:39 Mate, I couldn't even do this time last year.

32:42 I could couldn't do shopping bags,

32:44 but uh I've noticed a difference with creatine.

32:46 I'm about two weeks in.

32:47 I'm just[ __]

32:49 boy, I'm going in.

32:50 So, uh watch out.

32:52 Watch out, Edward.

32:53 Yeah, my my 13year-old son can barge past 120 kilos.

32:56 Yeah.

32:56 Well, you know, Yeah.

32:58 Well, yeah.

32:59 Yeah.

32:59 Well, how about I just knock him out?

33:00 Yeah.

33:00 I I I genuinely think he'd knock you out to be fair.

33:04 __]

33:03 He's a big bastard.

33:04 17 stone.

33:05 He's a big[ __]

33:06 __] know.

33:06 He's got the Hercules gene as well.

33:08 You know what?

33:09 I don't actually We did the testing from memory.

33:10 I don't think he has, but um it was in my jeans.

33:14 I've got another gene.

33:15 I forget what the[ __] it was called, but Levis's.

33:20 It's the here all day, bro.

33:22 Yeah.

33:22 So, I've got a gene like I I really I really

33:25 struggle to get the lactic buildup as what other people do.

33:28 So I can do like more reps for longer, right?

33:31 So my endurance is a lot better than everybody else.

33:33 And that mixed with the Hercules gene is like a like a perfect

33:37 What what is the test for a Hercules gene?

33:40 So Hercules gene is everything big.

33:42 So Hercules gene, right?

33:43 So you have to go and get a DNA test

33:46 and you specifically want to test for the MSTN gene.

33:50 Okay?

33:50 Right.

33:50 And have you ever seen the Belgian blue cows?

33:52 So cows with muscles on muscles and muscles like huge.

33:56 They've got a deformity.

33:57 It's called the MSTN type 2 and there they basically got a myostatin deficiency.

34:02 And myostatin is a hormone that limits how much muscle mass your body can hold.

34:07 If that myostatin doesn't exist,

34:09 your body doesn't know when to stop putting on muscle.

34:12 So you just pile muscle on and on and on.

34:15 So I've got the type one, which is like the lesser of the two,

34:20 right?

34:19 Um but basically my skeleton can hold a lot more muscle than any other skeleton.

34:23 It's just just the way just the way the jeans work.

34:26 Yeah.

34:26 Does that impact you later on in life when you're elderly?

34:30 I think it's it's all down to how you control it, you know.

34:33 So, if I lift weights and and carried on eating loads of food,

34:36 I'd probably just keep getting bigger and bigger.

34:38 And if I eat less and do less weights, it it sort of subesises, you know.

34:41 This will sound madier, but you know,

34:42 all the heavy weight lifting you do cuz on the World Strong Man, is it 500 kg?

34:47 You said you you lifted.

34:49 Mhm.

34:49 And in the gym, you said you can deadlift 90 kg.

34:54 No, sorry.

34:55 190.

34:56 You got the mentality of a[ __] 5-year-old sometimes.

34:58 I swear.

34:59 Oh, really?

35:00 I didn't know.

35:00 I didn't see that after watching a[ __] every episode of

35:03 Intellect of a[ __] toddler.

35:05 Listen, you Darth prick.

35:08 Sorry.

35:08 Uh, no, not 90.

35:10 Obviously, it will be 90.

35:11 A ton.

35:12 A ton.

35:12 So, the most I've ever done in the gym is 455.

35:15 Okay.

35:16 And then, yeah, I did 500 on on a in a in a competition on a platform.

35:19 Right.

35:20 So, can that not stunt growth?

35:24 No.

35:24 You're not going to have like a an arched spine?

35:27 I think look, I think lifting weights it will shrink you.

35:31 But I I think you get that with old age anyway.

35:33 Yeah.

35:33 You know, people look like your spine compresses.

35:36 Everyone hits a peak and as they get older that the the spine compresses anyway.

35:40 I said genu I was a genuine Did you put the urgent on?

35:46 __]

35:45 Is it good?

35:45 So I was a genuine 6' three at one point

35:48 in my life and I'm like just over 62 and a half.

35:51 Really?

35:51 Yeah.

35:51 So I've chunk half an inch and that's that's gen I've lost half an inch.

35:54 I think that's the hair

35:55 probably.

35:56 Yeah.

35:57 I like the hair.

36:49 You know what it was?

36:50 It wasn't even the money.

36:51 It was the fact that I didn't want to let my team down.

36:53 I didn't want to be the one.

36:55 That was like That was the best clip of the show.

36:57 Yeah.

36:59 Like, everyone in the room would like was just in like belly laughing.

37:03 Yeah.

37:03 Every single p like old people,[ __] women, every single person.

37:07 There was cuz on a team I mean this is

37:12 Yeah.

37:12 So when we do the challenges there's about 20 30 people mate

37:16 as that dick was like advancing

37:19 you know what I mean in and out and I just saw more people coming from like

37:22 outside viewing gallery and just it's like we have to be in the studio for this.

37:26 It's a moment.

37:27 I want I wonder where that dick is now.

37:29 Also an eating challenge that is just straight

37:39 I know.

37:39 Well, I don't know.

37:40 I don't know the dicks that you've seen, Eddie.

37:41 But for me, that was way below average.

37:44 Yeah.

37:44 Well, in in terms of eating dicks, it was a big dick.

37:47 But can you Is that I mean, butchers do people cuz it was boiled.

37:51 I think it must have been And there was a hair coming out the[ __] tip.

37:54 Yeah.

37:54 __] hell.

37:55 It was rough, man.

37:55 I felt for you.

37:56 It was rough.

37:57 No, but you did the right thing.

37:58 I think if you' have ate that, you would have

37:59 You can't You can't, mate.

38:00 You can't You can't It looked[ __] chewy as well.

38:03 Yeah.

38:03 Just straight literally cartilage.

38:05 Yeah.

38:05 Fair enough.

38:06 Beef[ __] Beef gum.

38:08 Beef dripping chips.

38:09 You've done other like strongman[ __] You've done the whole pulling planes.

38:12 Uh you've done a truck.

38:14 Have you flipped a car before?

38:15 Yeah, I flipped a car.

38:16 Yeah.

38:17 Um

38:19 do you remember the old Citroen C2s?

38:21 I think the old

38:22 They're like like an old VW Bonnet kind of thing.

38:24 Yeah.

38:25 Flipped one of them over.

38:26 I see one of them the other day.

38:27 You know, still going them.

38:29 Yeah.

38:29 The[ __] French very It's just You look at that.

38:32 Yeah.

38:33 And then we used to pick up used to like stand in cars

38:36 and pick them up and run with them.

38:38 No way.

38:38 That is a Volkswagen Beetle.

38:41 Sick.

38:41 Yeah.

38:41 Like harished up, pick it up in the middle and then like Fred.

38:44 Oh, mate.

38:44 What?

38:45 Oh, is it little little tikes?

38:46 What them things?

38:47 You know the red and yellow cars that kids used.

38:49 Yeah.

38:50 I've got one somewhere.

38:51 Yeah.

38:52 __] hell.

38:53 Pick up a beetle.

38:54 Yeah.

38:54 And what about pulling the plane?

38:55 Tell me about that because that is

38:57 so the planes the planes are a specialty because

39:01 I mean the planes we pull somewhere around the 50 to 60 70,000 pounds.

39:07 Yeah.

39:06 You know we're talking like 30 plus ton.

39:08 The planes are[ __] heavy things.

39:11 Yeah.

39:10 And I'll be honest, there's no human on the planet that can pull a plane.

39:13 Yeah.

39:14 There is doesn't exist.

39:15 Right.

39:15 So what they do in the strongman contests is they put a very

39:18 very very slight decline on it just so you can get it going

39:22 and then it's who can get it the furthest so

39:24 it flattens out and it's who can get it the furthest.

39:26 So that's how they do it basically.

39:28 But um yeah, it's tough, man.

39:30 Like there's no other way to train for it other

39:32 than to get harnessed up, get a big[ __] HGV.

39:35 Yeah.

39:35 And pull it off the street.

39:36 That's literally how you train for

39:38 Well, you that that was your training for that.

39:40 Yeah.

39:40 I would go to skip companies like, you know, pick up skips and whatever.

39:43 Can I just borrow a truck and just pull it

39:45 outside the business and just pull it up the street?

39:47 That's how I train for it.

39:48 __] hell.

39:50 Yeah.

39:49 Any of them snap?

39:51 No.

39:52 A lorry free free falling back down.

39:54 the Yeah.

39:55 Yeah.

39:55 Your road.

39:56 No, you was I was the one in the driving seat.

39:57 Yeah.

39:58 Mad.

39:58 So, what did you get the plane the furthest?

40:01 Uh, I think the the the year I won I was the I came third.

40:04 Third.

40:04 Yeah.

40:05 Yeah.

40:05 So, it's like And we finished 25 m.

40:07 Quickest 25 m and I was like.5 of a second, half a second off winning, but then

40:13 Well, there's a pilot up there.

40:14 Handbreaks off.

40:15 Yeah.

40:16 __] sick, man.

40:17 Yeah.

40:17 What else have you pulled?

40:19 __] a

40:22 birds.

40:22 Yeah.

40:22 One thing he hasn't.

40:23 Funny that, eh?

40:24 Funny.

40:24 All this strong man bollocks.

40:26 Yeah.

40:26 Well, at the end of the day here.

40:30 When's When's the last time you pulled a bit?

40:32 Thursday.

40:34 Thursday.

40:33 Yeah.

40:33 __] 2004.

40:36 Is there anything that you haven't achieved that you're

40:38 kind of pissed about cuz you've won inside now.

40:40 You've won you've done you've done UK strongest.

40:42 You said six years in a row.

40:44 You've done what?

40:44 You're world's strongest man.

40:46 Did you do that just one?

40:47 I mean, once and that's it.

40:48 You get that title.

40:48 Yeah.

40:48 I won it once.

40:49 came third one year, the year before, then won it and got out.

40:53 Yeah.

40:53 You retired the next day, you said.

40:55 Is there anything that you've wanted to do and you've not been able to?

40:59 So, I'm working towards another goal now.

41:00 So, I'm So, I'm getting into this fight game.

41:02 I did I did an MMA match in Poland.

41:04 Ah, mate.

41:05 Are we not talking about Yes, bro.

41:07 Yeah.

41:07 So, that that was a good match

41:08 cuz I fought Marius Pnosowski who formidable fighter.

41:12 He fought for a European title not too long ago.

41:14 So, he was like top dog, you know, not not[ __] not to be messed with anyway.

41:18 and I beat him in 27 seconds, whatever it was.

41:22 And I've got like I quite fancy the MMA game cuz

41:27 really with the MMA, boxing,

41:29 boxing is tough cuz like the bigger and stronger

41:30 you are in boxing almost the more it hinders you,

41:33 you know, because muscles don't mean[ __] all in the boxing fight.

41:36 Whereas of MMA, bigger they are, harder they fall.

41:38 Yeah.

41:39 But with MMA, strength is a massive advantage.

41:42 Yeah.

41:42 Like when you're grappling, if someone's stronger than you,

41:44 they've got a huge advantage.

41:46 So my strength in MMA sounds daft is my strength.

41:49 And if I get you on the floor like with that Marius,

41:52 I I just held him down with one arm.

41:55 He couldn't move and I just put my weight

41:56 onto him and just smashed him in the head.

41:59 But he he genuinely he was trying to get away from me.

42:01 He just couldn't get away and I was just pinning him down with one arm.

42:04 27 seconds.

42:06 So I I feel like MMA is something like I really want to get stuck into.

42:09 And I I've said it to my team.

42:11 I I quite fancy at the end of this like win, lose or draw.

42:15 Just fight for a[ __] wheel title.

42:17 Really?

42:17 Yeah.

42:18 Just like go all out like a Europe Europe title, a will title.

42:21 Just go for a[ __] like the hardest[ __] I can think of.

42:24 Right.

42:24 Let's have a[ __] scrap.

42:25 Who Who's the hardest[ __] in the MMA world now?

42:29 So Tom Aspenol would be number one of course.

42:31 He's just Did he quit?

42:32 Did he quit UFC?

42:33 He just cut his ties.

42:34 Yeah.

42:35 Um we got like people like Francis and Ganu.

42:38 Um we got KSW Euro.

42:41 He's like the he's the world world title in KSW.

42:43 Phil the freeze.

42:45 So like something something like that, you know, just go in last fight.

42:48 Let's just have a[ __] let's have a round win or lose.

42:50 Put my hands up.

42:51 Do the best.

42:52 I mean I just imagine if I won that though.

42:54 Oh mate, that would be unreal.

42:55 Like just be[ __] unreal.

42:56 Like

42:57 but you you're saying your strength is your strength in uh in MMA.

43:01 Yeah.

43:02 But some of these guys I mean some of these fights I watch, bro, they're nimble

43:05 and they're rapid.

43:06 They're moving.

43:07 They're mantling stuff.

43:08 I don't you're you're big.

43:10 You are I saying you're like a Clash of Clans character.

43:13 You're like the giant or the hog rider.

43:16 It's um Are you Are you interesting one?

43:18 Cuz I I I I my I've really learned how to kickbox this last couple of years.

43:23 Like you can't kick high.

43:24 I can head kick.

43:24 No, you can't.

43:25 I can kick you in the head.

43:26 No[ __] problem.

43:27 But you wouldn't.

43:27 Would you Eddie?

43:28 I wouldn't.

43:29 I wouldn't.

43:29 But I could.

43:31 N you can't.

43:31 Mate, your your leg is your foot is not reaching above your waist,

43:35 mate.

43:36 I've done like spinning cresant kicks and all sorts.

43:39 I can I can head kick, man.

43:40 Dangerous as well.

43:42 So, like that's come on.

43:43 And then the gra like I'm just working real.

43:45 Obviously, not at the minute.

43:45 I'm in this box boxing camp, but like the grappling I really enjoy really

43:50 because it's it's it's I'm just such a huge guy.

43:52 I've got very experienced guys, you know, black belt and jiu-jitsu.

43:55 Yeah.

43:56 I start I do a bit of jiu-jitsu

43:58 and you know, I'm grappling with these guys

44:00 and they're not getting the better of me.

44:01 You know, they cannot they cannot tap me They just

44:04 I mean they belly wrap their legs around your calves.

44:06 This is the problem.

44:07 This is the problem.

44:07 It's like I'm not a normal human.

44:09 Flex a muscle and they're spazzing.

44:10 I'm not a normal human.

44:11 Even a big fighter in the MMA world's like 120 kilo.

44:14 I'm 160.

44:16 Who?

44:17 __]

44:17 So it's it's a different it's a different ball game.

44:19 And you said you got good stamina.

44:21 Yeah.

44:22 Yeah.

44:22 I pay good money to be an MMA an Eddie Hall MMA fight.

44:29 Exactly.

44:28 Have you reached out to Dana White?

44:31 That can't be impossible.

44:32 There's been a few conversations.

44:34 The UFC is off the cards cuz the weight limit is 260 lbs and I'm like 360.

44:38 __] hell.

44:38 I was even talking with the, you know, the bare knuckle the Conor

44:41 McGra.

44:42 Yeah.

44:43 So they I would love to see you on Power Slap.

44:45 So they're doing the 25 million pound

44:47 tournament in bare knuckle bare knuckle fighting, right?

44:51 And it was like an eliminator.

44:53 So you'd like you'd fight one and then you

44:54 get to the semi-finals and the quarterfinal and then

44:56 you'd go into the like the final and the final one if you win it's 15 million.

45:01 And I was like, "Fucking sign me up for that bad

45:03 boy." So I put my name down for it.

45:05 And then they put a weight limit on that at 260 pounds.

45:07 And I was like, "What the fuck?" And the title is the baddest man on the planet.

45:11 So I sent the[ __] an email.

45:12 How the[ __] can you say it's the baddest

45:14 man on the planet with a[ __] weight limit?

45:17 It's so[ __] wank.

45:19 Yeah, I reckon uh that's I think the weight

45:21 limit is purely to not have you in there.

45:24 They know that you're going to[ __] cost them.

45:25 Well, I I think it's I think it's

45:27 to entice all the the lighterweight world champions,

45:30 you know, like people like Mike Perry who only weighs like 210,

45:33 220 or whatever, right?

45:34 People like him come on board and then it makes it a bit more fun, doesn't it?

45:37 Like a a lightweight versus a middleweight versus a heavyweight.

45:40 Okay.

45:40 And then but if you got Mike Perry against someone like me,

45:44 you know, 220 versus a 360, it's like[ __] hell.

45:46 That's that's a dangerous fight.

45:48 So yeah, I've kind of

45:49 I guess why I knew why they've done it,

45:50 but it was a bit[ __] to have that like and I read it online.

45:53 I was like, "What the[ __] is this[ __] shite?"

45:56 Well, if there are any uh what they call them, leagues, titles,

45:59 if anyone would like to take off their weight limit

46:03 to have Eddie Hall in the in the in the ring in the octagon or whatever it is,

46:08 this thing like KSW didn't[ __] care.

46:10 They'll have me on and but UFC won't.

46:13 This is, you know, it's just weird.

46:14 Weird.

46:15 So, your fight coming up, man like Tommy Fury.

46:20 Yeah.

46:19 Please fold that[ __] Please.

46:22 He's such a[ __] gimpony, huh?

46:27 Is that what you think?

46:28 Oh, mate.

46:30 Come on.

46:31 I think Tommy's a nice lad.

46:32 He's a good lad.

46:33 Yeah, I think you're a bit of a[ __] in that vest.

46:35 Thanks, man.

46:37 Uh, just joking.

46:39 Uh, yeah, he is a[ __] though.

46:41 He is, mate.

46:42 What are you talking about?

46:43 Like,[ __]

46:44 You call him a[ __] all you want.

46:45 I mean, the man's made millions.

46:47 Yeah, I do respect that.

46:48 Got a[ __] very, very good-looking wife.

46:50 Two, one kid.

46:51 one kid on the way.

46:52 You know, when you talk about who's winning in life, he's[ __] winning.

46:55 No, definitely.

46:56 You can't hate on that.

46:57 You can't hate on that.

46:57 You can't

46:58 agree.

46:58 What's the uh what was what's the what

47:00 was the thinking behind the Tommy Fury fight?

47:03 So, genuinely, it it came up out of the[ __] blue.

47:06 It was not orchestrated in the slightest.

47:08 I was having a back and forth with John Fury.

47:11 Okay.

47:11 The dad.

47:12 Yeah.

47:13 And um he's got a he's got a[ __] temper on him.

47:15 I know, mate.

47:16 He's the star of the show.

47:16 He takes over them press conference.

47:18 He's got a temper on him.

47:19 And it was all through like exchanges online on Instagram.

47:23 Okay.

47:23 And I just in the end, what was he saying to you, mate?

47:26 It's it's just basically like you can't beat any of the Furies cuz I I

47:30 really wanted cuz I've seen Tyson Fury was

47:32 putting MMA training up and I was like,

47:34 "Oh, really?

47:34 Yeah, that would be a good fancy me versus Tyson Fury in MMA." Like boxing,

47:38 he would[ __] destroy but MMA.

47:40 I read that you kind of I think[ __] I think I'd[ __] do him in MMA.

47:44 So, I was like trying to lure that in.

47:46 Um, and then John's like, "You couldn't[ __] beat any of us furies.

47:49 Get out your[ __] head." And then before I know it,

47:51 I've literally got a contract under my nose to fight Tommy Fury.

47:54 And I'm like,

47:56 straight away I ring Tommy up and I'm like, I wanted to go like, "What?

47:59 Like, do you want to do this?" He wouldn't answer the[ __] phone.

48:02 So, I'm sending him a message.

48:03 He's like, "Mate, is this for real?

48:04 Like, do you want to[ __] reply to me

48:06 and I was like, okay, he wants to[ __] do it." So, here we go.

48:09 I'm[ __] Tommy Fury.

48:10 It was genuinely

48:11 Oh, you're calling him on like, "Are you sure?"

48:13 I was[ __] shocked.

48:15 Oh, you're you're you're trying to give him welfare chats,

48:17 saying you might not want to do this, bro.

48:19 I genuinely was, though.

48:20 I genuinely was like like Tommy, do you really want to do this?

48:24 Like I thought we were pals and he's it seems

48:26 as though and this is the thing with the Furies the

48:29 It can still be friendly though.

48:30 They're quite sensitive, aren't they?

48:31 The Furies.

48:32 Look at John.

48:32 __] me.

48:33 You say something slightly out out of tune and he's[ __] trying to headbutt you.

48:38 Um and it seems as though, you know,

48:39 you fall out with the dad, you fall out of everybody.

48:41 So I fell out with John and that's it.

48:43 All the furies[ __] hate me now.

48:44 __] them all, bro.

48:45 __] them all.

48:46 __] them all.

48:46 Line them all up.

48:47 Line them all up, bro.

48:48 I will knock Who can I knock out?

48:50 __] hell.

48:51 __] it, Molly.

48:52 Tommy's daughter.

48:53 Yeah.

48:53 Bambi.

48:54 Off you go.

48:55 Oh,[ __] Who's that in the air?

48:57 It's Bambi.

48:59 Can you Well, you've got Tommy here.

49:01 I'd like to think so, mate.

49:02 I think

49:02 he's a good boxer, though.

49:03 He is a very good boxer.

49:04 And you can't you can't sleep on Tommy.

49:06 You can't,

49:06 you know, you got to look at his fights.

49:07 He's won everyone.

49:08 He's 11 and0.

49:09 Um, and then you got to look at the AJ and Jake Paul fight.

49:12 J Paul although lost he I mean to last six rounds with AJ was[ __] impressive

49:17 and he landed some big hits and you got to think

49:21 honestly if them hits just like another like two inches on the end

49:24 of his chin a bit more power he'd have[ __] rocked AJ 100%.

49:28 And that's where the that's where I think this has stem from as well.

49:31 It's like that David versus Goliath every[ __] watch that fight

49:36 and that's why I think the me versus Tommy is kind of like the same.

49:38 It's like it's really interesting.

49:40 Tommy's got the skill, hands down, he's got the skill on me all day long,

49:44 but I've got that that power.

49:45 I think they got to[ __] jab you hard

49:47 on the chin and you're going to sleep, you know?

49:49 But it's it's making that connection and that's

49:50 where the that's where the fun bit comes in.

49:53 So, what's training looking like at at the moment?

49:56 Very intense.

49:57 So, I'm fight training four times a week.

49:58 I'm swimming four times a week.

50:00 Doing sounds a bit lame, but I'm doing like fast walks.

50:02 That's the That's the best cardio I can do.

50:05 Hey, man.

50:06 I'm overtaking joggers when I'm walking, I tell you.

50:08 Are you doing the hip the hip walk?

50:10 Yeah.

50:10 So, like proper You've seen the Malcolm in the middle

50:12 when he does the when he does the walking.

50:15 He's getting the Yeah, that's me with a weighted vest on.

50:17 Yeah.

50:17 __] weighted vest and all.

50:18 As if the[ __] don't weigh 160 kg as it is.

50:21 Let me just add on weight.

50:22 You had a fight before, in it, and you were massive then.

50:25 You was even bigger.

50:25 It was up.

50:26 Was it another Was it the the four guy?

50:29 The mountain.

50:30 Yeah.

50:30 You lost that, right?

50:31 I did.

50:32 Yeah.

50:32 Haha.

50:32 Yeah.

50:33 Cheers.

50:33 Yeah.

50:33 Couldn't move a mountain, could you?

50:34 Yeah.

50:36 Couldn't.

50:35 Yeah.

50:35 can mop me up on the You can mop me up in the inside shot, but yeah, you can't

50:39 mop you up this tournament.

50:40 My bad.

50:41 Yeah.

50:43 __] big for nothing.

50:44 Yeah.

50:45 Went in that ring and lost.

50:46 No, you can't you can't lose this one.

50:48 Oh, mate.

50:49 Can you imagine if Tommy Fury knocked you out?

50:51 Oh, that would be a wounder.

50:53 Oh my goodness.

50:54 That would be a wound.

50:55 Oh no.

50:55 We can't have that.

50:56 Do not do that.

50:57 I think it could happen.

50:58 No, no, no, no, no.

50:59 It's not going to happen.

50:59 We're not going to jinx it.

51:00 That's the fight game.

51:01 And you know what?

51:01 It takes balls to go in with with the[ __] chance of that happening.

51:06 I don't care.

51:06 I don't care who you are.

51:07 It takes bollocks any man to get in the ring and have a fight with somebody.

51:10 It takes bolts.

51:11 Takes What did you think of Andrew Tate for fight?

51:14 I thought that was a bit disappointing.

51:16 I thought that

51:17 Did that look like a world a four times world kickboxing champion to you?

51:21 It did, mate.

51:22 And and you know what?

51:22 I kept I watching it.

51:23 I watched it and I was like, you know what?

51:25 10 years ago, Tate would have[ __] absolutely destroyed him.

51:28 Two minutes flat.

51:30 Yeah.

51:31 100%.

51:31 Where there's a few factors there.

51:32 Not fought for such a long time.

51:34 massive adrenaline dump.

51:35 I don't think his sparring was obviously up to up to standard.

51:38 I think he had easy sparring leading into that.

51:40 It just didn't look like he he'd had any good scraps, you know?

51:43 I think he he got chinned a few times and he

51:46 Yeah, I don't know if you've done any sparring,

51:47 but when you get hit once hard and sparring, if you not had that for a while,

51:51 it's like[ __] it can make you go weaken the legs, make your arms drop.

51:54 And I just think he I think and there's loads of stuff against him.

51:57 He's obviously had all that court[ __] been in jail.

51:59 Yeah.

51:59 And like he came up with all these things excuses, but that's genuine.

52:04 You think?

52:05 Yeah.

52:05 Like you go[ __] jail for two years and see

52:07 how see how you feel when you come out.

52:08 See how your body is.

52:09 Take you two years to[ __] recover from that.

52:12 Agreed.

52:12 Yeah.

52:13 Yeah.

52:13 I got a friend who's in at the moment.

52:16 __] into his calis calisthenics bodybuilding.

52:19 Wham, mate.

52:19 He's been in for about six months and he's just looks like[ __]

52:22 It's like a raisin.

52:24 Yeah.

52:23 Yeah.

52:23 It's a jail's no[ __] joke, man.

52:26 You're in there.

52:27 You're in there to be punished.

52:28 There's no[ __] ribeye steak dinners.

52:30 Yeah, agreed.

52:30 You're having[ __] bread and butter and

52:33 I'd like to confirm freedom.

52:36 Yeah.

52:36 Secondhand[ __] steaks.

52:39 Yeah.

52:38 So I I So I trapped my dick in between two plates once.

52:43 __] So you know when you like the metal plates cuz you never go the

52:46 No.

52:46 Shut the[ __] up.

52:47 But when you put metal plates on in the gym and you you bang them together,

52:50 it's like a nice sound.

52:51 It's like it's like a little orgasm.

52:52 Like ding.

52:53 First question.

52:54 What What is your dick doing there?

52:56 Hang on a second.

52:57 Right.

52:57 So, I'm on the leg press and you're banging the weights

52:59 on and the and the weights are like sort of dick height.

53:02 Okay.

53:02 So, I'm banging them on and then I must have been distracted by a girl

53:06 or something and I slam this weight on thinking I'll impress this girl.

53:10 Bang.

53:10 No ding.

53:13 __] hell.

53:14 I was Yeah.

53:14 Put my hands down.

53:15 Put put it out this[ __] board everywhere, man.

53:19 I[ __] The amount you wouldn't believe how much you bleed out of your[ __] dick.

53:24 Really?

53:23 It was[ __] insane.

53:25 __] hell.

53:26 So yeah, that was that was the little story there.

53:28 I trapped my dick in between two plates.

53:29 It was And what how much blood did you lose?

53:34 15 liters.

53:35 __] hell.

53:36 From the cocky.

53:37 I nearly bled out.

53:38 __] I would have done mouth to mouth on that.

53:41 Yeah.

53:43 Mouth to tip.

53:44 I would I would have let you as well.

53:47 Not even let me just[ __] force.

53:52 Is it true that in your peak when you were doing the bodybuilding,

53:56 you was eating 10,000 calories a[ __] day?

53:58 More like 12?

54:00 Really?

54:00 12,000 calories?

54:01 __] hell.

54:02 How do you move after that?

54:03 What is 12,000 calories?

54:05 What is that in a day?

54:06 N it's a lot.

54:06 It's a lot.

54:07 Like I'd have two breakfast, two lunches, two dinners.

54:10 You'd have to eat a lot.

54:11 And then all the snacks in between.

54:12 Full English breakfast.

54:13 I'd have a second breakfast would be a porridge.

54:16 Snacks would be like flapjacks,[ __] bits of fruit, beef jerky.

54:20 uh lunch usually half a kilo of meat like chicken,

54:25 steak, whatever, pork chops, lamb chops, a kilo of pastoral rice,

54:31 200 gram of vegetables,

54:33 and then I'd always have a half a family cheesecake after my lunch, right?

54:39 Mid second lunch would be like, I don't know,

54:41 tuna sandwiches, flapjacks, energy drinks on the way to the gym.

54:44 Get to the gym.

54:45 Why I said train?

54:46 I'd eat raw meat steak.

54:47 Really?

54:48 Yeah.

54:48 I'd eat raw raw fillets.

54:50 I just got this concept in my head

54:52 that if you're eating pure protein whilst you're training,

54:54 you're absorbing it instantly.

54:55 So, I used to eat raw red meat whilst I trained.

54:58 You mad man.

54:59 I'd have um full fat full fat cream like you know the gold top cream milk.

55:03 I'd have that with my protein shakes whilst I trained.

55:06 Um come back and have an evening meal.

55:09 That would be like huge amounts like uh like like a huge curry or a spag bowl.

55:16 talking like a kilo of meat, kilo of carbs with a bit of veg,

55:20 and then and then I'd have the over over half of the family cheesecake.

55:25 Here's one.

55:26 Here's one I devoured earlier.

55:27 Yeah.

55:28 __] hell.

55:28 And I'd throw in like liters of ice

55:30 cream with protein shakes throughout the day, you know.

55:32 Um and you go for a swim or a run or Yeah, man.

55:35 I used to eat and this is the thing with strong

55:37 man because I'd train for four hours in the gym.

55:39 Yeah.

55:39 I would eat literally to the point of being sick and then I go

55:42 and train because and I had to do that because you you train for so long

55:48 you'd have to train on a full stomach because by the end of the four

55:50 hours you were just so depleted so you had to eat on a full stomach.

55:54 Train on full stomach.

55:54 Let me ask you this here cuz you said you started doing the strongman

55:57 and gym stuff as a that was almost your reaction to depression, right?

56:03 This is the way.

56:04 Is there was there ever a point where

56:06 in doing all of this it become depressing in itself?

56:09 No, it was definitely my savior.

56:11 Yeah.

56:11 Yeah, definitely.

56:11 It was like um scanning that much food on a daily basis, you know?

56:15 It was like right put it this way, right?

56:16 So I like my life was that[ __] miserable.

56:19 Genuinely was that miserable.

56:21 I hated my[ __] life.

56:22 I hated work.

56:23 I was a mechanic.

56:24 I[ __] hated it.

56:25 I[ __] hated having to struggle to pay my[ __] mortgage.

56:28 I hated I hated not not able to buy a[ __]

56:31 fancy cars and all that[ __] I[ __] hated my life.

56:35 So it was almost like the the the mission

56:38 of becoming the world's strongest man was my suicide.

56:41 Does that make sense?

56:42 I just didn't give a[ __] Like if I'm going to kill myself,

56:44 I'm going to kill myself.

56:45 If my dick's going to bleed out in the middle of the gym.

56:48 Yeah.

56:48 Let it Exactly.

56:49 If I'm going to kill myself, I'm going to kill myself doing something.

56:52 Yeah.

56:52 To win the lottery.

56:53 That's that's how I saw it.

56:54 If I can win the World's Strongest Man,

56:56 that will be the flick switch to get what I want out of life.

56:59 So, it was almost it was almost like a[ __][ __] or bust.

57:02 So, that was that was my suicide attempt.

57:04 Sounds stupid saying that.

57:06 My suicide attempt was trying to become the world's strongest man.

57:08 And then the day you're stood up there and they say,

57:11 "Right, you've won the World's Strongest Man, Brav." Yeah.

57:14 What did you do that night to celebrate?

57:15 __] man.

57:16 I[ __] um went out for a big steak dinner with Brian Shaw.

57:20 Yeah.

57:20 Family cheesecake.

57:22 Definitely Cheesecake involved.

57:24 Yeah, 100%.

57:27 Um, yeah, man.

57:28 It was um that was a huge emotional time for me because it was

57:32 it was like all that work cuz I've been training since I was 14 and I won it.

57:36 I was 29.

57:37 So, it's like 15 years 15 years of[ __]

57:40 really obsession obsession like no days off.

57:42 I miss sessions.

57:43 I wouldn't miss meals.

57:44 I wouldn't miss physio sessions.

57:45 Nothing and it was like a massive relief like I don't have to do that anymore,

57:49 you when I've sort of made it and uh it was like what next?

57:53 It was it was it was a real head[

57:55 __] because coming back from the World's Strongest Man,

57:58 sounds stupid to say this, but it almost put me immediately

58:01 put me back into depression because I had nothing to chase.

58:04 Nothing to do now, is it?
