I FOUND PART 2 AND THORT IT WAS BRILLIENT LISTENED TO IT A5 WORK ON BUILDING SITE WITH HEAD PHONES BRILLIENT GENUINE GUY GREAT TALKER INTERESTING IV LISTENED TO 100S OF THESE GUYS AND MARCUS IS THE REAL DEAL IM SURE U COULD DO A PART 3 MADE MY DAY 'GO QUICKER THANK YOU

[@SurreyhillsRoofingExpert]

3000 fights!,what a ridiculous statement to make!😅

[@renedubois6392]

What is so wrong with numbers? 1 fight could be the end! So many mistakes are made intoxicated/drunk/frustrated. If a silly mistake is the decision,better hope You come across a guy like Marcus! You have no idea the numbers He settled ,just because of see it coming! Meaning , not taking advantache of situations. Heart of gold,no bad mindset. Not the average You want to.have a situation with. Not Me anyway! Peace !

[@ilck-ym-blals7385]

Rare example of someone whos not arrogant just because they have power , not afraid to show his kindness ....but definitely dont take it for weakness. What a legend ...loved listening to every word.

[@renedubois6392]

Spot on! It is very rare to do this work for over 3-4 decades and not end up in legal trouble. I know Marcus for a decent period. Me Dutch ex Doorman,have had many comversations with Marcus. It is a thin line! I could have been killed over 7 times!

[@DD-ro1zk]

Marcus seems so genuine, humble and has a lot of wisdom. Nice bloke

[@nathanreid2274]

I did 25 years in security in nightclubs on the door and inside, down in Tasmania/Australia. I have watch alot of doco's on people doing security work, but this is the best one I have ever seen. I have seen and been thru a fair bit myself but nothing like Marcus. And what a bloody awesome bloke and very humble.

[@djshocka2007]

ah yeah 🐨

[@JP-114]

I love Tasmania. Good man keeping people safe in the clubs

[@callumsaunders6048]

That woulda been tough fighting people with 3 arms and 2 heads 😂

[@troymcdougall8303]

Imagine trying to diffuse a bloke fighting with his missus when it's his missus and his sister😂

[@benfearn702]

Marcus, you come across as the epitome of a hard man with a sense of right and wrong, how I wish there were more guys like you to impart that knowledge and being to the youngsters of today, good luck mate.

Part 2 is on its way Kev 💎

[@nathanreid2274]

Kevin I have to completely agree with you. I think there needs to be a part 2, but not sure what they would talk about as everything was covered

[@warrenhallam7704]

I met Marcus out in Thailand about 12 years ago . And I can honestly say what a genuinely nice guy really nice guy

[@DaveE13nowagrandad]

Worked for him in East Sussex

[@geckotoe]

Wow what a life! I could listen to his stories for days! I'm glad he has a good head on his shoulders and has stayed on a good path. Such a funny and genuine guy.

[@guybarrett422]

No nonsense just straight up honesty.. nothing to prove, lived it, survived it, sharing wisdom.. Good work the pair of you🙏🏽

[@p.m.c..2.615]

What a great podcast . Very humble and not an ounce of flash in the way he comes across. One of the best podcasts I’ve seen anywhere . Top job .

[@DodgeWoodall]

Thanks PMC 👍🏼👍🏼

[@p.m.c..2.615]

Mate your podcasts are just quality . You let them tell their story and every podcast so far has been class . Long may it continue . Pete from Hackney 👍👍

[@kieransteers4663]

Worked in margate clubs 5 years ago, met marcus 1 time as he does the doors around the thanet area, very respectful and well mannerd, happy to help the bar staff out with any issues. Not a bully at all like people saying, my dad worked for him back in late 90s in the medway area as a doormen for club zone and a couple others, top geezer

[@adyp6296]

What an absolute incredible human being! Marcus is an inspiration of what it means to be a real man....Brilliant

[@tembomorley2428]

Dodge your recent video interview with Marcus, delivered a wave of nostalgia, invoking fond memories of the old days, Marcus, an old school bouncer, is known for his gentlemanly demeanour and professionalism and his don’t mess attitude. Having worked with him on the doors during the late 80's and into the 90's, I can testify to his exceptional character and strong work ethic. Marcus mentioned in your interview that he took up Aikido, and I had the privilege of being the Aikido instructor during that time. Those were truly good times, filled with camaraderie and memorable experiences. Marcus surrounded himself with a group of outstanding Guys, and we were a tight-knit team. Aikido aligned perfectly with Marcus's values and his approach to handling challenging situations on the job. He incorporated the principles of Aikido into his work as a Head Doorman, utilising techniques that prioritised de-escalation and diffusing conflicts without unnecessary force. As I reflect on those years, I can say with confidence that Marcus was an exceptional doorman to work with. I have fond memories of that time, and I genuinely wish Marcus all the best in his future endeavours. His impact on the team and the industry is not easily forgotten. I told myself I would not write war and peace but there is so many good things to say about Marcus, All the best Big Guy

[@DodgeWoodall]

Lovely message and I’ll pass it on to Marcus for you! Good man 👍🏼👍🏼

[@chrismeeson4725]

Best thing I’ve seen on here for years. Been in the pub trade for 35 years and can relate to a lot of this. Love how he came across

[@shed2546]

Marcus great guy - I met him many times when I was body guarding music bands and Marcus always looked after us. Well done.

[@nibzzy100]

I listen to podcasts all day every day and I could listen to that man talk all day every day. Genuinely nice guy no hype no bulls#it tells a good story. And well done dodge for asking the right questions and letting the man speak 👏

[@Danny-kt8zg]

What a brilliant podcast . Marcus comes across as a very humble down to earth man , with a very interesting life story. Love how the interview flowed effortlessly. Well done.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Good man Danny 🙏

[@christopherpick7074]

What a great humorous storyteller, as well as very articulate. Marcus seems like a decent moral guy unless you piss him off! !! Thanks for the video guys.

[@deejames9380]

Dodge's "less is more" style letting the guest tell their story, is what makes a great interviewer.

[@barefootlegend2395]

Great interview Dodge,one thing I realized is how many ex gangsters/criminals have matured and changed their lives,surely proof of the ability for (some)criminals to reform,a really positive aspect of your interviews 🙏👍

[@DodgeWoodall]

Thanks 🙏

[@keithhenry5755]

Changed there lives as it's easier to blow Ur own trumpet bullshitting about the life of crime and get paid.dont full for the matured changed life 😅

[@JohnConboy1]

Marcus is the best guest you've had on so far imo Dodge. Comes across as a top bloke with a great sense of humour. You can just tell there's no BS with the things he says. Glad to hear there might be a part 2. Well done both of you 👏

[@DodgeWoodall]

Yeah he’s a cracker and a proper character! Part 2 on its way John 👍🏼👍🏼

[@midzgaming]

My old boss here.. Marcus is an old family friend from those circles and he’s a great character

[@Leo-the-lion1974]

Kind words Leo 🙏

​@@DodgeWoodallold school doorman, people respected and feared old school doorman as they knew they look after you yet you play up they nice first give you chance realise what you doing ,but then night night , or in man I knew the welsh legend and in his prime was hardest man in wales malcolm price would do he ask have word in toilet put fear of death in you but if you get Dutch courage he ask you again for quiet word but if u ignore him then he come across bang and not just put you away he loses his temper puts all your mates or people in few yards u lol

No idea why this podcast ended up on my recommended but glad it did. What a bloke.

What a genuinely nice guy Marcus is! It's great to know that beneath the exterior appearance there's humanity and decency. I hope there's a follow up interview!!

"beneath the exterior appearance"? What do you mean?

[@davemellor4697]

Well spoken genuine guy who does not try to look hard.....he is just a proper hard man.

[@karlclark8625]

I loved this podcast, this was like sitting with my dad ( who sadly died last year) listening to his doorman stories. Like Marcus he worked in the 80s,90, but also in the late 70s. I would love for a part two. My dad always said watch out for the older doorman and the nice ones' because they can handle themselves as they have nothing to prove.

[@renedubois6392]

Sorry for Your loss! Your Dad was spot on! Hope You are ok now. I know Marcus for many years,and He is the best friend one could have. Imagine how rare it is , to stop trouble en still be kind to the troublemaker! He is besides supersmart,superkind. Ehn tough as nails as well ha ha. He does a lot of charity, helping friends ,the Man is a special one.

[@dan8495]

What a cracking podcast! Marcus seems like really genuine bloke. Great job Dodge.

[@Paul-vs8zq]

I've met Marcus in Pattaya. He's an absolute gentleman.

[@xpanthersocietyx]

From working the doors for 16 years/close protection and being an SIA trainer for 6 years and seeing loads of doorman documentaries, this is a solid representation of a doormans life.

[@ultratunisiafallegua4917]

However very few of us would have gone through the same amount of events as marcus. Some of the bouncers I know haven’t punched anyone in the face during a 29 year’s career

[@jimmynich4791]

​@ultratunisiafallegua4917 I only did it about 4 years part time, I didn't punch anyone but I restrained & ejected a few. I found if you're decent with people they will usually be decent back but you have to be alert & you have to have a good team with you.

[@xpanthersocietyx]

@@ultratunisiafallegua4917 same no one swung at me during my career. Your right as well people will respect you if your firm but fair

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Especially all the drugs, booze and birds/boys you done.

[@michaelkelly3638]

That’s because marcos was the boss. When I set up in 1990 the real trouble comes and it’s not confined to the club. It’s 24/7 fronting up. It could be my life he’s talking about​@@ultratunisiafallegua4917

[@robertplosky1001]

What a thoughtful bloke. Really enjoyed his company.

[@kerriparr615]

Absolutely loved this Dodge, you're amazing at this with your guests. Marcus is brilliant and I wish this didn't have to end. Would love to see him on again with more stories.

[@DodgeWoodall]

Cheers Kerri and thanks for the feedback. Part 2 on its way 💎

[@ohfatherjohn8108]

Some wonderful memories, Marcus really is a genuine kind man that does so much for Charity as well, he is also well respected.

[@ianholmes8570]

Great viewing, went to school with marcus, was a biker with him, you should have a part 2 talking about his biker days.. well done 😊😊

[@Anonymous.android]

This is one of the few guests of this type I’ve seen where it doesn’t feel like they’re making half of it up! Fully enjoyed this

[@DiscordantVice]

Agree mate, doesn’t come across as one the BS ‘gangstas’. Good listen

[@midzgaming]

Marcus is an old family friend from those circles and also my old boss and I was a head doorman for one of his contracts. You’re 100% correct with your analysis. Nothing he has said here is made up at all and this is literally the tip of the iceberg. I reckon he could fill 4 or 5 podcasts with the many experiences he has had over the years and still have some content left over 🙏🏼

[@paulstevostevens4813]

What an absolute quality podcast this has been... marcus seems like a real gent of a bloke. Look forward to pt2

[@RaphaelDawkinsCombatRadio]

This guy is on a level, doesn't glamourise anything. Very good listen.

[@jimschneeberger3385]

A lot of TV commentators could learn from Dodge. He listens and is genuinely interested in what his guests have to say. Dodge gently prods the interview along without being intrusive. Marcus seems like a real gentleman. Well done to you both. Best. Jim

[@philemmett3122]

What a wicked interview. I remember training at Marcus's gym back in the late 80's. Top bloke.

[@seanb3204]

Loved this one Dodge. You really do get the conversation to flow. Likeability shines through.

[@ultratunisiafallegua4917]

As a doorman I have always felt inadequate because of my job and I’ve always tried to hide what I do for living because people and especially women would judge you. After watching this legend I had such a sense of relief and I felt like the 9 years of avoidance and inadequacy turned into 9 years of pride and happiness. Although my career as a bouncer hasn’t been as eventful as Marc’s no where near, but I can definitely relate to a lot of what he experienced.Thank you gents I enjoyed every second of this podcast

Absolutely incredible interview, first time watching Dodge and he has asked some really good questions, questions that most people want to know but questions that most interviewers won’t ask, I’d never heard of Marcus before until watching this but what an absolute old school gentleman with a lot of wisdom and knowledge, having worked on doors myself many years ago I can relate and I’m now a fan and have to research more on this legend
