Payno and Hask are joined by Jason 'Foxy' Fox to talk about joining the Marines as a 16-year old and then into the special forces, his struggles after his honourable discharge and how he got to be everyone's favourite instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Foxy tells of Ben Foden impressing in the UK version of the show and of Sam Burgess's amazing escape in the Australian version. We also hear an incredible story of Foxy meeting the Cartel and the Mexican marines - none of us barely took a breath! Oh, and if that wasn't enough we find out the only celebrity that thankfully made Hask speechless!

Foxy is actually a brilliant story teller! The sound effects are appreciated 😂. Hoping he tours Australia one day
SAS and SBS could fold anyone in the world up like a deckchair.
The elite special forces in the world
As a British Armed Forces veteran myself I have nothing but utter respect for Foxy.
I was in the Falklands war, in a shell scrape and at the bottom of Mt Harriet the day after the attack in 1982. Every few hours we were getting incoming from 105mm field guns from Stanley and the nearest round landed so close I could put my hand out of my shell scrape and put it in the crater. My oppo and I climbed out of our shell scrape and got in the grater the 105 had made with the logic they never land in the same place twice. The crater soon filled with ground water so we climbed back in the shell scrape. My poncho (put above the shell scrape for weather protection) the Milan firing post and an Argentinian helmet I had acquired all had shrapnel through them. Previous to that we had taken part in the attack on Harriet, fired our Milans at 0.5 Argentinian machine guns and taken them out. I was in the working parties that dealt with our own dead and wounded and then the Argentinian dead and wounded. I was looked down on by the gravs as I was anti/tank troop. Tinnitus has driven me mad all of my life and I have often woken in the night and have to get up to watch TV or listen to a podcast (thanks GBR) to help. I was officially diagnosed with noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus and it was recorded at a medical board in the 90s. Combat stress say I have PTSD but because I have no thoughts of suicide, do not take drugs, held down good jobs and curtailed my anger they say I need no help. Even though all this is on all my medical records they have always refused any liability or that having a ringing in your ears (and a 7 decibel drop over 5, 6 and 7htz) for 40 years is a problem in any way. I fully realise my hearing loss and tinnitus are much less worst injuries than many other wounds but a continuous ringing in my ears does drive me crazy. In fact I have such pent up anger about this I was unable to go to the Falklands reunion as I could not look the senior officers in the eye. I care not if you believe me and I have no interest in glorifying any of this.
Take every day as a bonus and make each step a step forward Steve.
What a podcast and what a guest, hooked on every word, very few people can do what those boys do and hats off to every single one of them in the SF
This is, and with some serious emphasis, one of the best podcasts that GBR has done. If not THE best
100% agree. Had me laughing out loud.
What an incredible guy! Loved the fact that he was so open about the personal struggles he has faced. Fantastic show guys.
Absolutely love this episode. Foxy is an absolute legend. His show is amazing. Can't say how much he inspires enough.
In tears listening to this. Thanks Jason for your honesty and your work breaking down the stigma that unfortunately still surrounds men’s mental health. Hask & Alex as always bringing sincerity and humour to proceedings 🙏🏻
As a fellow Duncan, I 100% agree. Was laughing out loud on the train platform!
Absolute legend. Lovely bloke. Proper man
I’ve listened to a lot of Jason Fox podcasts and this is by FAR the best
Brilliant episode and beautiful delivery of some amazing stories. Thank you GBR lads; and thank you Mr. Fox for your service to our country! 🙏🏻🇬🇧
Great show, It’s interesting to mix it up with different walks of life. Top respect for Jason, keep busy, keep happy.
One of their best! Loved the insights into the Army Navy Rugby game! Coming up this Saturday by the way!
This was incredible. Jason Fox is so amazing. I was hooked straight away
What a fantastic interview and format. Massive fan of Foxy, what a legend and genuine guy. This was great, thanks fellas 😊
What an epic episode, enthralling. Respect.
Great episode, gbr great edit. Others would sanitise it you gave it raw
Brilliantly done!
What a top inspirational bloke Foxy is. Great episode lads, thanks.
Great words, and a massive help. One of the best podcasts ever. Brilliant place the rugby world. Cheers lads.
Brilliant, the burgess story is next level 😂
Sooooo good 😂
A story that echoes some of my experiences and realities with ptsd. Thank you! What I have learned is there is always an opportunity around the corner when you are honest and reach out to people! Mindfulness is the key to resilience. Certa Cito.
great guy, its so refreshing when someone can talk about their problems it gives people who are struggling, for whatever reason, confidence to talk about their issues and ultimately get help
Great interview - fascinating insights and good stories - thanks 👍
The best podcast I’ve listened to this year. It’s a joy to hear Foxy’s stories!
This for me has been the best interview yet - wow
Absolute quality. Best one yet
Jason Fox for PM. Hask as Minister for Entertainment. Sensational pod, thank you GBR.
Hask is happy with that 👌

what amazing podcast massive respect to Foxy, could not stop watching this great podcast cheers Fellas top show.
GBP smashing it with mixing it up with both Barry Hearne and the Fantastic Fox. This episode is inspirational.
Eddie Hearn 😂 but totally agree buddy 😊
Excellent episode I was sat on a commuter train laughing my head off, got lots of looks
Superb Episode. Entertaining and meaningful. what a legend.
That was brilliant, could listen to this all day.
The preview of this popped up in my face book. So just watched the full podcast. You guys had great banter. Foxy is honest bloke. Watched him before. But this chat was brilliant. 😊
Outstanding. Just stunning stuff.
Had not seen this
Amazing character it’s very reassuring that he is able to talk about standing on a cliff top.
I was stood over a railway line waiting for a fast train when my unit leader rang me
Had it been anyone else I wouldn’t have answered it.
I told them where I was and that I’d be late.
They guessed something was wrong and got me talking
I’m very grateful for that phone call
So glad you're still here mate, don't know you but I've been in a similar put of despair and I can look back on it now
Outside of military that phone call doesn't come .
the best episode by far. absolutely absorbing
Absolutely Brilliant show . Very interesting. Well done
Thank you to all involved in this episode. Loved it and took so much away from it. Much respect.
Incredible that you got such a great interviewee.
Another fantastic episode ❤❤❤
Great stuff, exceptional stories
Loved it. Thanks
Brilliant programme, what a geezer 💪
Brilliant episode 👏 great guest great story what a bloke 👏
Best pod I have ever watched
Foxy is a LEGEND - great show guys 🙏🏻
Great interview and fantastic presentation.
Absolute Legend
this is gold. from cliff edge to the coronet/church. never seen this guy before, but beyond charming and empathetic. kudos for letting him speak
I'm a bit to this but what a podcast. Foxy is a fantastic story teller, I could listen to him all day.
Incredibly insightful interview..
Such a good listen, top guy 👏
Watching this tonight and words from you all tonight really resonating.
Mentally struggling but words from you all having given me focus
Picking a tree , standing on a deck of a cruise ship middle of Atlantic
But somehow I am still here the good voices in my head stopped me jumping .
Talk talk talk to someone guys
Excellent introduction, thank you very much, I’m ex forces and have PTSD and I can’t stress enough how important talking is!!
Foxy's stories towards the end had me dying 🤣🤣
That was the best hour and a half of GBR I’ve ever watched , well done guys much respect
What a great watch/listen. Foxy is an absolute legend. Thanks for sharing
Read foxys autobiography , a lot of respect for this man
How good! Fizzing to listen to this one🤙
Brilliant guest! 👏
Best GBR yet
What an episode 😊
Foxy is a built guy, have a look at the mountain sitting to his right.... Jason's story is one of a handful I return to as a check in. My 54yo life has had much trauma, which I thought was no big deal until it creeps up on you. Foxy sets a great example, and yes, it is not easy, hence the routine and physical output. Stay well and be kind to yourself.
It wasn’t just that rain storm that saved them that day, it was Jason’s instinct and action to get them all out of there, and FAST! Thank you for featuring JF-he’s an icon.
Just brilliant
best podcast i've ever listened too
Lads that was absolutely magic interview.
As someone with some what id call pathetic internal issues that really helped.
Sometimes you just need to say fuk it and others you just need that extra bit of strength.
Thanks a mil 👍
Best yet
Foxy is great, inspiration
Loving the Ant Middleton interview. Nice one lads.
Loved this episode. Foxy is an absolute legend 💪
Total Respect Mr Fox and a true inspiration
Getting complaints about what he calls the computer made me laugh until my sides hurt. Too funny. Love it.
I seriously. Seriously, didn’t want this podcast to end.
What a fascinating show.❤😮
great episode...
That was brilliant
Best guest ever.
One word. Legend.
Haha what a chat !!! Heavy episode
Brilliant 👍
Top drawer episode!!
Such an important conversation. Think Foxy would have made an excellent 7.
Wow what a wonderful Englishman!
Awesome absolutely a fantastic listen
Shame Tinds wasn’t about, they could have compared medals !!
Such an interesting guest
Hilarious….just love the stories. Makes me miss the Navy lark 🤣🇬🇧⚓️🍻
Foxy is a great story teller
The best.
I can't like this video enough
His story mirrors my friends almost to a T. At 17 with no decisive plan for the future, though he’s a genius my friend walked for days, slept in ditches, and finally got to the recruiters office and signed. The way he describes PTSD is so vivid that again to a T. I think that men who put in the years like these guys do at such young ages then leave,a lot of the problem is that’s all they know, it’s not weak mindedness I know that, but the most important years of their lives, when you’ve not developed into the person you will be, the course is set for you. They have only 2 options… 1. Continue to take all of your guidance from military influence and decide you’re going to thrive and strive for self promotion, or 2. Take your guidance from the military and put your time in and get out. Either way those important years from 16-25 are all military structure and influence and I know that home was foreign and military made sense and when it’s over there’s no rhyme or reason and compound that with stress and the inescapable images of war I think this can take some people right off the rails. So glad I came across this because this is something unless you’re in it civilians will never truly know. My hats off to every single man and woman who’s out fighting these evils on our behalf so we can live our lives it’s always so humbling to me and though I’m American and think we have the greatest military in the world I’d be lying if I didn’t say they are all the greatest military in the world.
Fuckin love this . Im ex military and a hearty rugby fan. This guys my role midel niw and this show is absolutely champion love you boys
Foxy... I will shake your hand when I see you. This was a great show of yourself. Fair play to you.
I did 6 yrs as a gunner, did the tour expected and returned completely deflated. Almost like "is this it"... I completely agree its like loosing your momentum. I had no energy or enthusiasm to be there anymore. At the time i thought I was grabbing the milking tit just to get out, but actually i was suffering. Anyway, i was discharged and pretty much drop kicked out of Wiltshire although did 6months training TA lads in Malta Barracks in Aldershot. Its was an easy ride sat in a prefab doing skill at arms but then it stopped ..... dramatically! I was told directly, youre no longer needed! I then joined the Merchant Navy and in the same spiral... Time away, time hime... Or time home, time to run away. Fuck sake, its difficult. I really don't know where i am sometimes.
Quality
really loved this podcast. just a point on Haskell's promotion at the end of the Marseille cruise boat accomodation during World Cup weekends..its 975 euros per person for 3 nights! ! not including tickets (which I have). Cant get a hotel in Marseille..so me and m8 gonna sleep in car..
