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.
Stupid war, fight your own battle
@@vToneehhnah
@@vToneehhbanana 😂
Big respect for your fight!
@@vToneehhhahahahaha facts
The chat between genuine mates are the best podcasts
Good to see big Phil’s got his own channel going. This was brilliant, more of this please. Would also like to see content around gear, boots, ration packs etc.
@@ForceRadioHQ I assume u have heard of Christian Craig head ( formerly of the SAS).He received a lot of attention over here ,( there not shy about their adoration for their 'Heroes' over here!) And a Story about aSgt in the SEALS Eddie Gallagher..( his story might be of personal interest to u)
I've a mate ex regiment he said the yanks supplied them with kit in Iraq , speaks very highly of them .
My father was an MOD Police sergeant at the base in Hereford in the 80s and 90s. He told me next to nothing, but I remember asking him about people getting into the base. He said they couldn't really stop them getting in, but he didn't fancy their chances of getting out again - one of the few times my Dad cracked a smile that bordered on a laugh.
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
Thanks so much for the support!
Bill and Phil. Nice ring to it. Good idea man!
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
Absofuckinglutely
These guys are Government thugs, protecting the establushment that enslaves bith them and their fellow countryfolk.
They do not protect you, the breed hate that in the glibal village returns as terror.
Absolutely brilliant chat with two great men 👌
Absolutely over the moon that Phil has his own podcast! Congratulations and thank you for your service!
Much appreciated!
The more I hear about the SAS guys the more I admire them. I have a friend who was SF and he spends his time helping poor Indians in Southern India...this may surprise some people who think SAS guys are macho killers....Macho killers are Hollywood....I'm so proud of the SF mindset in the UK....these guys are driven by conscience and a skill set....
Thinking soldiers
SF are the definition of protect and serve. I dont see why they wouldnt continue after the fact.
What do you mean helping poor Indians
@@shrishtichaturvedi4813 like he said helping poor indians
@@pauljones8218now Britishers are becoming poor
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.
2 legends! Thank you both for everything you've done and are doing.
Put this on in the background whilst working from home. As an ex-mil this was a breath of fresh air to listen to. Much appreciated.
As much as I admire these guys, The average bloke on the st that kept a house over his family's head and gets up day in day out to go to work in the pissing rain, snow, wind and then gets home to take the kids to sports when he is knackered etc is just as high in my eyes as these guys
Well said.
As a natural born Floridian, I can relate to so many warriors like Billy, and others on this channel. I can't believe I stumbled on this GEM of a channel. Thank you for documenting so many incredible interviews with extraordinary individuals. Much love from Australia in America.
You mean as supposed to those unnatural born floridans ?!
Two legends just shooting the breeze! A big big Thank you for your service lads much love and respect ❤️
Just great could listen to you guys for hours , thanks to your service as well
Absolutely brilliant. You are a natural Phil. Mark was the epitome of a fantastic interviewee and you the interviewer....fluid and always having the listener hanging onto everything that is being told and everything being asked. Respect to you both for everything that you have done 👍👍
That was one of the most inspirational hours of my 50 year life. Thank you
Great to see 2 legends talking about life in and out of the regiment. Grounded and with humility... absolute respect.
Thank you for your service. Both of you. Tremendous role models 👍
Brilliant. And love the sign off: Always a little further.Pair of Legends.

Banging video. Love hearing these two just chatting away talking about their time in and their experiences. More please.
Myself and 4 ex service men have recently been to watch billy,s uk tour on stage in Truro Cornwall. Fantastic night out.
I was there too, Hall for Cornwall. Loved every minute of it! I left the forces in 1990 and still miss it.
That's a cracking conversation.. thank u both for your service
What a fantastic podcast. It's great to get a flavour of the shared culture experiences you both went through. Been a big fan of the Reg since a child and now an old sod. You guys are made differently. We need more of your kind especially now. Men's men.
Brilliant interview, looking forward to seeing your content as a big military history lover, thanks again guys.
Loved that, great watch ,two extraordinary guys. Glad phil is on the up and looks like your doing good. Thanks for everything those two have done.
Best interview I've seen of these two. Brilliant channel big Phil, and Brilliant chat Billy. 👏
Absolutely brilliant podcast... I had things to do but 5 mins in to this, and had to finish watching. Top men.
Absloutley loved this. So genuine. Two legends of the S.A.S! - I can't wait to read Billy's book.
What a brilliant podcast! 2 warriors that had mutual respect. But more than anything both down to earth lads done well. Worked hard and saved many lives. Respect 🙏
Absolute respect to these two legends.
I served in 2 rrf in from 1992-2004 we provide a security cordon for a 22 sas operation in banja Luka Bosnia July 1997..it was a honour to be part off that security cordon for them.
I'm also from a council estate in Walsall.
Guys up most respect and look after yourselves.
God bless
Craig
Thanks for your support Craig, we hope you become a follower of our channel!
I once held a mess tin an SAS guy had touched only hours before.
Great to hear stories from the guys who've been at the pointy end of the action and come out the other end, wow what to do after all that training and tough missions etc, what knowledge you guys must have to pass on, nice one.
Thankyou both for your service both legend s and both respected

Another belter of a conversation!
Fantastic, great episode Phil. Love listening to you, and Billy as well. I bet he was great to have as a Sargent. Billy's live shows are great and would recommend them to anyone.
OH YES PLEASE I will me making time to take this in. Thank you both for this.
Really enjoying watching this chat as it brings back lots of memories, although not quite the same as yours.
I joined the Royal Signals aged 17 in 1979, and after 2 years trade training, I was posted to 9 Signals Regiment at Ayios Nikolaos in Cyprus, and I was there at the same time that you referred to with the PLO attacks against the British bases.
Also having been in Cyprus during the Falklands War, I later went on a Spanish course and did my first Detachment to the Falklands in August to December 1984, and the second from October 1986 to February 1987.
In May 1985 I did the first of 4 trips to Belize, where for me, as R. Sigs and later Int Corps, I was fortunate to avoid the jungle as I served at APC and up at Cooma Cairn in the Mountain Pine Ridge area.
I don't know how true it was, but I remember hearing a story about the Paras "sorting out" a bar that a Belizean had stupidly named the "Exocet".
What a great interview, thanks gents👌
life is short do the best you can while you can great interview
I'm just happy to live in a place that has you unknowns walking around in it. You are all heroes and my local regiment makes me exceptionally proud. Thankyou
That's so kind, thanks for sharing
Absolute warriors
Thank you for the story on Johnny owen the matchstick man. Keep the name alive, the man is a welsh legend !
Thanks for watching!
Johnny Owen was a great Welshman. Was good to hear Billy mentiining him, keeping his memory alive. Charlie Magri too and Minter.
@@JohnSmith-le5oe rip johnny boy gutted when that happened
Brilliant interview! Onwards and upwards! 👍🏻🇬🇧
What an amazing pod cast between two great guys
Billy thanks for your service mate
Thanks for your support!
Fantastic Guys . Thank you.!
Great podcast Billy is an absolute hero 👍🏻
Very good episode. The disaster relief efforts were inspiring to listen to. Two great personalities. Phil, good to see you've binned those pyjamas you wore at the C2R charity event....stay safe and well.
Where did this come from. As ex army who did loved all of this this is gold . Thanks.
Big respect
Two hero legends . Fantastic show and so inspirational . Thanks you for your service. Makes me proud to be British knowing guys like you are out there protecting us.
Two legends !
Most amazing guys I ever met. Was at Gillingham Kent.
Billy you have a good heart - love your outlook.
Thanks for your service to the UK guys🎉
Thanks for your support!
You guys are awesome, stand firm gents ✌️
Great podcast, I love listening to Billy
I always remember his story about the song ‘ nothings gonna break my stride’ when tabbing.
I use it today at work, get my arse in gear
Thanks 🙏
Big love from Manchester - I think the SAS guys open up with geezers that have been through similar career paths, much more enticing! You can see Mr Billingham really open up
Made up for you phil wish you all the success with the new podcast brother.💂♂️
Amazing interview.
Total respect 👍🇬🇧🇦🇺
These are the sort of guys we need running the country especially the youth of today!
Thanks for watching!
These saps should be nowhere near kids.
Wow, what an absolute amazing story. The only podcast I’ve listened to in full from start to finish.
Wow, thank you for watching!
agree with so much discussed,absolutely fantastic,respect
Thank you for watching!
I’ll be so real I can relate to mark I was getting into trouble every other day not living with my parents growing up in care then being moved hostel to hostel Wanted to go into the military but unfortunately couldn’t due to a medical condition but that hasn’t stopped me changing my life around, I now have 2 kids but I wish I was atleast able to give it a shot I know your health matters but I wanted to dedicate myself to somthing that matters but I’m glad men like this exists they are living legends and a inspiration to to this new generation of young men and women total respect for mark and Phil and thank you for your service ❤️
Great to see you knocking the timber off Phil, id the same problem with reach to the old ring!! down about 20kg so far, good interview
Great interview. Thanks for that.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Two Ex Blades having a good old chat 👏 Billy is the kind of fella you would follow anywhere🏴☠️
Thanks for watching!
I remember Johnny Owen. Loved the guy.
The legend has got his own channel! Look forward to catching up on this.
Thanks for the support, we hope you enjoy our other content!
Great interview Phil
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'.
Great pod there guys! much appreciation from Sweden.
Great interview, Billy is probably one of the best, if not the best, British soldier that have served in the armed forces. What eye-opening career he has had. This guy needs to be knighted for his service. Great stuff 👍
Arise Sir Billy!
💯 % Billy should knighted for a 16 year old boy from a council estate in Wolverhampton with no education to join the armed forces to then working his ass off from a private showing gut and determination in the para to then becoming RSM of the SAS what mind-blowing achievement. To be honest, Phil, I respect you and everyone that has served in the SAS, your all special breed of men. Same with the SBS, I salute you all.
Brilliant Phil!
Absolutely BLOODY BRILL!!!! Xx
change one person... my best moment.... great talk guys.......
Amazing 👏
Fair play these guys are awesome
I love being British. My dad was a soldier and I was born on catterick in the 70s and I got a slap if I stepped out of line and truthfully I wouldn't like to be growing up now. So many kids now are really really dumb. Thanks for your service.
Thanks for watching!
Your dad would be inside now, getting a slap from some of his neighbours. Slapping kids is child abuse.
A slap on the butt or around the lug-hole has never done me any harm in my 70 years' life - punching and kicking etc is child abuse@@JohnSmith-le5oe
Phil and bill a great duo to top blokes thank you both 😊😊regards❤❤
Thank you both really enjoyed
I'm sorry to give you this name Billy cuase i know you will refuse it but here goes...
"Legend"....your dedication to your work & effort you put into your charity's is admirable m8,
