Try and get a SRR or 18 UKSF operative on !
Please get as many SAS\SBS on as you can! Always love hearing these guys. Good work dodge. Thank you.
My pleasure Cpt Longhorn 😊
@@DodgeWoodall Please get BIG Phil Campion.. its a no-brainer!
Agree with this guy 💯 these are quality! Staz was brill too! Billy Billingham and maybe Rusty Firmin also
I quite like these 'new' faces of Special Forces, ie guys who haven't been interviewed much before or at all. I thought Si Jeffries was a very good one
@@thesaint8400 I’m exactly the same, have you watched Christian Craigheads first podcast? Quite a good one. I’ll look for Si cheers
"Goose green, whats that?" Never felt so old, thanks mate. 😅
What an eloquent, softly spoken, very interesting man. Another fantastic interview. More, more, more please.
On a side note my brothers served in Ireland and loved it but for years I hated the IRA. Really despised them.
Served with Matt in the early 90’s, was on the same patrol in NI that was referred to in this. Matt and the other guys on the team saved Al’s life. A super character that was bonkers about soldiering. Was always going to go on and do good things. Now he’s working hard for other vets today!
Thanks for your service 🙏
You still haven't defeated the IRA
@@declanosullivan1718 Stopped em having holidays in Gibraltar though didn't it?
@@ravingiron9356 nice hat!
@@declanosullivan1718 Yes, that pic seems to have gone way above you then.
Well done on the final part of this interview - the support and wellbeing of our soldiers needs to be discussed, not just the operational side. Glad you spent time on that, great listening and interviewing skills. Don't shy away from speaking about cancer, that's a tough discussion but needs to be aired because it affects so many people.
The content, the production, the level of skill behind the interviewing.. This is like a million sub channel. I was shocked when I saw the sub count. Keep it going Dodge, what an amazing outlet you're giving these individuals..
The best podcast on an individual who has lived an extraordinary life and career. Top man.
One of the best interviews I've seen. Respect to both of these guys.
I subscribed after randomly coming across Phil Campions Pod, you have an amazing pod show my friend and some genuinely amazing life stories. Something I can see/hear in THIS particular gentleman is he is so calm, casual and polite yet you know he is dead serious when he was in his uniform. Please keep the military/SAS videos coming
Love from Turkey 🇹🇷
Same!!!
Uncle Matt is a 22 legend. Met him few times. He is a solid sterling top brother, He does loads still for the lads and veterans. Massive Big up to the "Mr blue sky". Many Thanks Uncle and Dodge, nice one.
What a calm grounded guy for someone that's seen and experienced some of the worst sh... that humans can do to each other..really glad we've got him along with others on our side..Deep respect..
Top draw again fella.🙏😎
My jaw dropped when he said his pension as a SM in the most elite fighting force in the world after a lifetime of service was only 1200 quid 😨 loved the pod Dodge & enormous gratitude to Matt for his service.
Glad you are enjoying the podcast Simon and I was massively shocked too 😳
I was a reservist and whilst I was deployed the army matched my civilian wage. I got paid more than a Captain as a private. They get paid next to nothing, it’s ridiculous.
These volunteer cannon fodders are paid what they are actually worth and not what they think their worth
@@Tyrekickingwetdreamer well what I was saying is that they should be paid a lot more. On the whole they deserve to be looked after.
Seriously, tell me about pension, is not right? All I did in life was print the daily Telegraph on Guardian newspaper. I’ve got retired on the grounds of ill health walked away with over half £1 million pension. The world has gone mad if that’s the truth. Quick message to the government sort this out bang out of order. If any member of Parliament got kidnapped, who would they want to come to rescue you of course, the British special forces, SAS SBS. Remarkable people. Members of parliament I put forward these guys get double what I got for God sake, I’ve just printed newspapers
Deep respect!!
It's hard to fathom the amount these guy's get paid compared to what our so called "stars" of sport and screen receive for doing something they also "enjoy" doing!
I mean they're literally defending capitalism... its harder to be a prem footballer than SAS
Rgrt
Matt is calm, authoritative, articulate and highly interesting .... Dodge managed it very well asking great questions to open up and also clarify some of the jargon for his audience when required ....
Nice one CT 😊👍🏼
Really echo so many comments, people like this make me so proud to say I'm British, I wish my dad was still alive to hear all the SAS podcasts from you Dodge, his heart would be full, the SAS were his heroes.
This should be compulsory watching at all U.K. schools. Great interview and thank you for your service.
The leftist teaching unions would complain that if was detrimental to someone's mental health or some form of phantasy phobic
We don't 'thank you for your service' in this country - that's an American import.. 🥔
They bloody well know we're grateful. 🇬🇧
Fantastic interview, massive respect to lads like Matt.
This guy 100% needs a book doing,one if not the best SAS trooper interview I've heard! Incredible
Yeah Matty defo needs to bring out a book 💥👌🏼
Great interview. Nothing but total respect for these outstanding men.
People like Matt are almost a different species. Most of us are so domesticated and weak that they're operating on a different level than the rest of us. Huge respect, and as always superb interviewing skills Dodge.
Love these special forces podcasts they never disapoint.. 👌
Matt Hell Yeah..🇬🇧
I really, really enjoyed this one Dodge. Amazing man. Thanks ever so much for all your fantastic content. Big love, kindest regards, Richard U.K
What an amazing interview could have listened to him all nite total respect to him for putting his life on the line. Thank you Dodge x ❤️
My pleasure Jeannette and it’s amazing to hear what these men do for our country 🙏👍🏼
A TON of those UK special forces guys went through Junior Para... It was apparently extremely brutal and they eventually shut it down, but it produced a bunch of very hard "old school" SAS guys. Fascinating.
Fascinating life and a genuine pleasure to listen to. Great interview Dodge 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Neil 😊
I had the please of going on a trip with matt and the pilgrims and can honestly say he's the most interesting, kind gentleman I've ever met, would give you the shirt of his back.
Yeah he’s a proper gentleman and mentally one of the toughest men I know 💪🏼
Another fascinating podcast. Thanks very much for this, mate. Really enjoyed listening to it. With guys like Matt Hellyer and these other SAS types on our side, there is still hope for this country.
My pleasure and messages like this gives us the boost to keep bringing even more great guests onto the podcast 👌🏼
Absolutely superb interview Dodge. So interesting and Matt delivered it brilliantly. I could listen to his stories for hours. Thank you both, keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Much appreciated 😊👍🏼
Top man Matt. Great listen. Good luck for the future.
Btilliant podcasts with yet another great guest 👌 I'm wading my way through the playlist and loved all 3 I've watched so far 👍
Great interview, great to see Matt open up a little.
Such an interesting interview. Matt is clearly the real deal. So knowledgeable and experienced. And dodge asking questions at precisely the right moment to open up the conversation. Fascinating
What is clear is that the UK is far far behind the US and others in looking after veterans.
Another excellent interview Dodge! The way Matt explains the ins and outs of things is very good, keeps you riveted. Could watch this guy all day nice one mate!
Matt all the best and thanks for your service
Much appreciated Kenny 👌🏼
@@DodgeWoodall have to rename your channel Down to earth Dodge haha!
All the best fella 😀👍🏻
Another fantastic interview dodge 👍
Matt is a lovely guy who went to the very top WO2 SAS 👌
Absolutely appalling how the bosses turned their backs on him & his family when he got ill
So good he’s now ok 🙏🏻
Cheers mate 💥👍🏼
My new favourite podcaster, usually listen to james english and shaun attwood but dodge has smashed this. Listened to every episode, jimmy tippett jnr has been my favourite so far. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Glad you are enjoying the channel Ben and lots of exciting guests lined up for 2023.
Good man 👍🏼👍🏼
Great interview Dodge, got to respect these guys!
Yeah they are on another level Gregg 😊
Excellent interview, respect to both you and Matt. He is a very understated and humble man. Best wishes to you both.
By far, the best podcast you have ever done, mate 👍
Thanks Matt 😊
This was one of the best podcasts I've seen, you wouldn't think he was ex SF. Very humble guy. I was in the Scots guards in the 80,s and only once met the SAS on the border in a checkpoint and to look at them you wouldn't know.
WONDERFUL GENT. I'M PROUD TO HERE HIM TALK. GUESS HE'S A BROTHER TO BE SO PROUD OF PLUS HIS MATES.
Another great episode Dodge 👏🏻
Fantastic insight and advice from Matt. He is on point about the support required for those leaving the forces. There needs to be many more of him out there helping Veterans transition, as well as managing the extra issues such as PTSD that can come with that.
An individual with a huge amount of expertise and experience. And a lot of respect for it. Clearly an excellent entrepreneur and highly respected professional within the close protection and high risk security industry.
A very enjoyable interview with a very sophisticated and established individual. Wishing him well with his health, which clearly was another challenge that he put a lot of thought into. Impressive.
His relaxed demeanour belies a sharp level of expertise and thinking. And immediately puts the people listening to him at ease with his natural and confident delivery.
He is the sort of person who, with very little effort, could persuade a person to jump off Everest, without oxygen or a second parachute, comfortable and confident that they would be okay!
Ive been watching this channel almost non stop the last few day's. Absolute fantastic production and Dodge does a wonderul job of interviewing his guests without being condescending or asking inappropriate questions that mainstream media tend to do. Been thoroughly enjoying the SF interviews the most. Thanks Dodge, keep up the good work
Really good to hear from someone who as done it all ,
Say that the army done not help you when you leave.
Really enjoyed this again. Great podcasts
a well respected man earned , great to listen too cool as ice
Another top interview 👌
Top guy, so glad these guys are there to protect us, so proud of them.
Another great interview
Nice one Paul 😊
Again respect earned as Londoner lifelong civvie ran pubs may of played with laws few times great too hear Croydon bad boy reaching unbelievable level protecting my manor/county so impressive amazing channel great laid back attitude on very serious subjects
This is a good podcast, Matt actually tells you more than heard proper interesting people the special forces
Nice one mate 👌🏼
Was in the province the same time as Matt, 1980s and done five years (never met Matt) in HQNI, Derry/Londonderry, Belfast, Omagh. It was a war and everything this man says is true. But we had good times as well as bad. People are surprised when they hear the stuff Matt's saying here, even today. Managed to get on a contract in AFGN 2012. When we came home on leave most families had absolutely no idea what was happening and we never talked about it. The pensions we get are rubbish and a council worker gets much more.
Thank You.
Again a fantastically interesting and brilliant soldier we all owe a debt of gratitude matt. Brilliant interview and unable to switch it off. Thank you for great interview and thanks for your service matt ❤
We've welcomed in the Caliphate, they're currently staying in hotels all over the country. Our alert level is 'substantial'. I'd have loved to have heard his take on this.
Operations as had been done, needed in Western cities, and other towns, where the hidden rioters are.
Fantastic dodge n matt. Keep up the good work
Cheers Steve 👌🏼
"good luck in Civiy Street" grief, never a truer word. THIS IS INCREDIBLE insight, gentlemen thank you both.
LOVING ALL THE PODCAST DODGE
TV INTERVIEWS FOR THE BIG CHANNELS
This man makes me feel proud to be British. Hero mate.
Outstanding dodge not butting in when they’re talking. Really interesting and engaging to listen to 👍🏻
Great interview
I have the pleasure of knowing and meeting Matt on a couple occasions through a few mutual friends .....What an eloquent interview.
Great watch
Dino
Brilliant Podcast.This soldier has nerves of steel.Respect.
Just had to make another comment, his direct eye contact says so much about a person, and I love the calmness
Thankyou gents, god bless you and your service
Our pleasure Al 👌🏼
I went to afc Harrogate, I met a lad from a hard background foster kid, he turned out to be one of the best soldiers I’ve ever met, he made the Army his family, life is what you make it even the Army 💙👏🏻
Massive respect to this bloke avoiding the courts working his way into the most respected revered regiment in the world.
excellent guest,Thank you
As always Matt outstanding
Loved listening to matt it was full of inspiration .
This was the most in depth interview I’ve ever watched 💙reference our Special Forces GTC ex 1 Para 👹👍
Great interview, not even cancer had a chance with Matt. An amazing man from every angle
Great interview, I came across these podcasts on Facebook and now I’m glued to every single one! PS where can I buy that adidas jumper from 👌🏻
Welcome on board Jack 👍🏼👍🏼

Outstanding Interview. Matt is a Gentleman and Legend. 🇬🇧🙏🇬🇧🖤💥
Cheers Anth 👍🏼
Yes Matt is a proper gentleman and is well respected on so many levels 🇬🇧👍🏼
As always, great work, Dodge!
Next time you get someone from The Regiment on, ask them about *The Increment*
Cheers Steven and will do 👍🏼👍🏼
Impossible to find anyone who’d talk about that in any depth
@@Giantist is it actually real?!
Hi @DodgeWoodall , am so glad I followed you. i love this isht. Am from Kenya and Id love to see you interview the SAS officers who smacked terrorist a** during the terrorist Attacks at Dusit Hotel and Westgate Mall. Especially the one man warrior SAS guy who handled lots of Business at Dusit Hotel. He got lots of coverage for his valour. These guys are living legends.
You can find him on TH-cam. Just search Christian Craighead.
@@ianscott5293 thanks I found him, he actually talks about the event. he has a local nickname here "Odi Wa Nairobi". Basically some kind of Urban legend 😁
@@mashariki it’s actually Obi Wan Nairobi
@@ianscott5293 what ever i got his drift wasnt hard tbh
Massive respect to all of our soldiers 🇬🇧
Fantastic interview, great guest and fantastic interviewer.
Good man James 👌🏼
Another awesome podcast Dodge, I was going suggest Big Phil aswel he would be awesome and it would be another intriguing conversation 😊
Cheers Sam and leave with me 👍🏼👍🏼
@Dodge Woodall you'll be chuckling to yourself for days after big Phil pays ya a visit. He's a colourful character, is our Phil
big phil popped by now twas good
"Drinking and drugs never helped anyone with any anxiety, any depression, any of these mental health problems. They only make things worse. " I wish more people knew this.
What about psychedelics?
No. But they help blot out all the shit. Psychedelics used in many mental health issues, leastways lot of studies out there. Wouldn-t advise or not advise, taking drugs. Each to their own.
@Dominic sean Mccann "to each their own." I work in the medical field. A lot of absolutely ruined lives, bodies, and family's lie on the end of that thoughtless phrase. There are other ways to block out the shot, brother.
@@garrettsasser4565 what putting them on anti depression tablets??? Yeah right! That's your way to block it out.....lol
@@garrettsasser4565 and? Society creates alot of victims; as I said I wouldn't condemn or encourage. It's a sad fact of life. Been there
Loved this
Great podcast, what a really modest hero, Amazing story. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Glenn
Wish you well for your health and the future mate
Imagine how many of these silent hero’s have taken out these dirty scumbags, that we don’t even know about. Gives me chills. The SAS/SBS is nothing short of fascinating! At least in my opinion. I’m obsessed with these guys and the psychology and being the hardest and most dangerous people on the planet… love it!!!
Amazing interview with this amazing man. Just like Phil Campion they are both cool guys.
Great series, love the podcasts.
Letting the person talk.
🙏
Facanating is the word for ghat. What a bloke! Wow. Very interesting. Great interview mate. I had a feeling he'd have some involvement with pirates aswell!! Brilliant mate. 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼
Great podcast
I lived 500 yards from the woodburn in protestant suffolk, we all loved 3 para
Very good. Did enjoy the scrap in the Union Jack shorts on Tooting High St story.
Please forgive me. I have only just come across your channel a few weeks ago. Fantastic content. You seem to know the most people in the world. Brilliant you’ve got a fan in me.
Nice one Mark and welcome on board 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice one really enjoyed this one bro ☮️❤️🙏🏻
We're back for another fix of what I imagine is going to be another great interview 👍
Hard and nails spring to mind, we were stopped once by the navy in a boat I think they thought we could of been pirates lol I was only 16 that was a hairy moment
The quiet voice. Totally disarming. I get it! Great episode. Thank you
There is another good guest, Alistair, always interesting to hear this stuff.
Yeah I really enjoyed chatting with Matt too. A proper gentleman! 👍🏼👍🏼
Best Interview yet instead of prattling on about himself a brilliant insight into Ptoffesional soldiering, especially the pivotal role the SAS played in Northern Ireland and menvtioned the pitfalls of PSD and the lack of a support network for young men that serve our country leave the Army with all kinds of Issues...........
Hoofin interview 👊🏻
Glad you enjoyed Mark 👍🏼👍🏼
Good interview
Great episode. These guys are very professional men. Extremely proud to be British. I think the less we know about 22 SAS the better to be honest.
