Big Herc 916 aka Marcus Timmons

Quite possibly the most mental background of anyone I have met. From straight A student and avid Skateboarder and Basketball player, to selling drugs on the streets, starring in Porn films, and robbing a bank at gunpoint, followed by a high speed chase in California. Big Herc is now a successful business owner and started his YouTube channel, Fresh Out Series 10 years ago! What a wild ride.

Matthew Jarvis

What a great guy Jarvo is, and he’s more than just a footballer. Over 400+ professional appearances, an England cap at a time when they had an abundance of talent, and played with and against some of the best players to grace the Premier League. Promotions. Relegations. Injuries. Dark days and unreal highs. He keeps himself busy now, and looks back on his playing days with a smile on his face.

Matt Jay

A class conversation about professional football, away from the riches of the Premier League. Matt is an Exeter legend, having spent the majority of his career there. His move to Colchester United has seen him step out of his comfort zone, and he’s working hard to make a positive impact. I get the feeling he’s different to most professional footballers, and definitely different to the stereotype that footballers get.

Sisilia Tuipulotu

Great to catch up with Sisilia after a whirlwind 18 months or so for her. Winning the league with Gloucester-Hartpury, getting her first Welsh Cap, playing in a Women’s World Cup, and being nominated for Player of the Tourn in the 2023 Women’s 6 nations. All that, and she’s only 20!

Cardiff Classic Shirts

Catching up with Dan who owns Cardiff Classic Shirts – We spoke about everything Kit and Collector Culture, vintage classics and teams that never get it right. I absolutely love collecting shirts and it seems to be a growing trend atm, with Football and Fashion seemingly interacting more too. An exciting space as a football fan.

Natalie Dau

Menopause, women’s safety when running, running ultra’s, being a mum, Social Media and writing a book. She lives a pretty busy life but finds time to have that 80/20 balance so that Instead of lean and cheat meals, it’s more of a lifestyle and balance.

Tom Halliwell OBE

From freak accident, broken leg and in to a wheelchair, to captaining your country at the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup. A wild ride for Tom who’s still only 24, yet he’s won it all already. It sounds like a humbling sport, and much harder than people may give it credit for! 

Ep165

Ep165

Ashton Hewitt

A heavy chat with the Dragons RFC winger about some really important topics, both on and off the Rugby pitch. Ashton is a clever bloke, articulate in his words, and he’s using his platform to speak up on subjects that make people feel uncomfortable, but need talking about. On the field he’s still after that Welsh cap, and is fighting fit going in to pre-season this year.

Lauryn Louise Davey

It’s amazing to hear about the lack of funding, having to work 4 part time roles, and try to become a doctor, as well as dreaming of the Commonwealth Games 2026, and the next Olympics! We also chat about being vegan, dating, and Instagram DM’s in 2023.

Ep163

Ep163

Nick De Luca

43 caps for Scotland, & played in some great club games, and yet it was fascinating to hear that he doesn’t always look back on his career with the fondest of memories or a focus on the positives. Philosophical, insightful and a thought provoking conversation about Rugby and Mental health.

Ep162

Ep162

Chris Cooke

We chatted about leaving South Africa, grafting for a spot at Glamorgan, and playing the different formats, including franchise cricket. Plenty of highs and some lows too, we are both in agreement from different sides of the coin, that Glamorgan are not a million miles away form picking up silverware in every format!

Gwen Crabb

Gwen has a drive and determination to succeed, and absolutely believes in her own abilities. Her outlook is class, and it’s proving a good navigation for her – 29 cap’s for Wales Women, and she’d have had more if it wasn’t for some pretty bad injuries. She’s on the rehab train now, after almost back to back breaks/tears, and yet it’s not holding her back!

Steff Hughes

Fresh off his first season at the Dragons, it was interesting to hear his story so far. Plenty of ups and downs, and that’s just the last few years since c*vid. A shift at the Scarlets, and now enjoying the Dragons and what they’re creating!

Harri Morgan

Fresh off his first 10:31 challenge this morning, Harri came over after for a chat. It’s only been 10 or so days since he announced he would be stepping back from rugby to protect his mental health, and the outcome has been so positive for him.

There are themes of suicide, depression, mental health and anxiety throughout this Podcast.

Richard ‘Baz’ Barrington

Great catching up with someone who’s done it all in the club game. 4 Prem titles, 3 European cups, and a whole lot of songs in the back catalogue #Remiiiiiix

Now plying his trade and going well in ProD2 with Agen, he’s loving his rugby, and life. Fingers crossed they continue to go well, and see them go up to the Top14!
