Jay Morton - Full Interview with the Mulligan Brothers

[@dannyhubert22]

Hearing him say about school and not being mature enough really hit home with me. I was awful at school went on to join the army it definitely educates you, just in a different way. The best days of my life.

[@andrewmcneilismcneilis6596]

I’ve got some miles on the clock and am ex British infantry. This interviewer is the best I’ve observed. Sharp, laconic, incisive. Thank you. Drew the best out of your subject.

[@michaelingledew]

As an ex-squaddie who was always in the “go again” camp, I always considered myself weaker than my peers and somehow less worthy. But Jays perspective opened my eyes. Those character building “go agains” made me far more resilient and able to go further. Never thought of it like that before. Top interview.

[@dffrnttd9474]

Thank you, even though this interview hasn't got many views, it's one of the best I've wacthed

[@andrewmcneilismcneilis6596]

Agree. Alan wicker was the best chat show host ever cos the camera was rarely on him. This guy draws out gold from his subject matter. Erudite, sharp, laconic. On point

[@Scottishdevil98]

Ahh the Argos weight bench. I’m sure a lot of lads can relate

[@patrickgeorgegalvin7763]

100% I laughed at myself a little when he said it

[@jamesmorgan9474]

My generation (I'm 64 now) had the Bullworker to build that Charles Atlas physique. 😆

[@jayn8392]

Haha, I had to look up what you meant by argos as an American. Turned up some old school weight benches with the plastic cement filled weights with the chincy 1" bar. I'm in my early 30s and thats the same kinda thing I started on too. My dad had his set from like the mid 70s still growing up. I remember him telling me, I wanted a gym membership, that when I could do 10 push-ups I could have a membership. So I, with absolutely 0 knowledge of training, would hand out in the basement banging out set after set of curls, bench and overhead presses with those plastic weights untill they realized I was serious and got me a membership. Got some nostalgia wrapped up in that crappy old weight set. I kind of want to seen if my dad is willing to give up the bar and a few plates to hang on the wall of my garage gym.

[@tombragalone7250]

Wow, I can’t believe this isn’t viral yet, one of the best interviews I have ever had the privilege of watching. I wish I could have walked in jay’s shoes for a day. This man is amazing, always looking at things in a positive way no matter what they may be or how bad they are. He has the ability to set and conquer all goals and obstacles, something very few have. Very inspirational, thank you for posting. US vet.

Good talk and very interesting . That bit about struggle I can relate to, we all struggle growing up then we leave home get in a relationship get a career , if your working class life is a struggle everyday . Its only when you look back on your life and look at the trials and tribulations then you think , I've been through some shit . Most people are happy in a 9 to 5 job only because it pays your bills and you can get quite comfortable in that situation but many given the choice would throw it in if given other options . You only get one chance in life so make the best of it.

33:10 - This was the thing he said that I never want to forget. But he also said some other things that I almost want to brand on my brain. I'll definitely buy this book.

[@SpitfireLionheart]

Soldier? A very good read. Hope you found it useful too.

[@LearnWatercolorPainting]

@@SpitfireLionheart No. But I realize that I can learn a lot from such people. As for the book, when I first went to order it on Amazon, it wasn't yet available. And then I forgot about it. Anyway, I ordered it today. I also read the book by David Goggins who was marine. He does these ultra marathons nowadays. It's crazy stuff in my honest opinion but I admire it too. His book was a 10 out of 10 read.

[@carlkinsey8736]

My brother served in the green machine for 23yrs and then joined the Australian army training their recruits. Blown up 3 times by ied's and luckily enough just having bumps and bruises and concussions etc. Exactly the same as this guy. Nothing seemed to phase him. But in his last year before he retired he ended up in a psychiatric ward with a breakdown caused by ptsd he didn't know he had. He's one of the most positive people I've ever known irrespective of him being my brother. Just goes to show it can catch anyone out no matter who you are. But kudos to these guy's. Anyone noticed that not one of these interviews I've watched of our ex special forces, not one is a gym queen.

[@LighTeSoaKer]

Great interview, thank you 🙏

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Great interview. Never went into the Army as I hated being told what to do. Which meant I had many jobs over 50 years of working but my youngest grandson is just doing basic training and loving it. However he will not accept he is a bigger man than me for being able to take orders. But he is for sure. Really enjoying your interviews fella's.

[@joannegibbons3918]

Loved this and I've read Jay's book. One of the best books I've read!

[@SpitfireLionheart]

His book has become a favourite for me too. I found many of his points striking home though at first glance counter intuitive owing to the culture that exists at present.

[@jerryoshea3116]

He's probably been missed or ignored many times in his life&yet when all's said &done he's still there,still finishing,still on his feet, extremely unassuming,but at the same time extremely effective..He gets the job done!

This guy really knows himself, I guess he's had so many different experiences and ways of dealing with them but he just seems so sure of himself and what he's saying.

[@leetown6741]

It has took me a long to realise what jay knows and has done for years, I'm 45 soon and have this mindset he last few years. I just wish I'd got a grip of myself 20 years ago. Maybe if I'd had the balls to go in the military things would have been different. My old foreman was in the army, he told me to join when I was 18, maybe I should have

[@JohnCashin]

I'm much older than Jay, I went to school back in the 70s but I can totally relate to what he was saying about being in school. I felt exactly the same. The teachers just made everything sound as dull as watching paint dry and they nearly all looked so depressed and unhappy. The teachers today have a lot of pressure on them, in some way more than back then but they just look much livelier.

[@lizzienepia]

He has a rare mindset and I guess that's why he has had such a successful career.

[@lisalovelady5655]

[@danprice8738]

Think it’s interesting how jay morton transfers so quickly into a different emotion from laughing into listening like he can refocus his emotions on cue having good control of them. No doubt that’s come from his training experiences an intelligence.

[@mathematics5573]

Jay. I went to university like many in 1992 because we got interested in a specialised subject whether chemistry or history. My generation did not go because everyone else did it, which is a trend of the last 20 years,.because government has stupidly pressurised too many to go. As graduates, we become teaches, scientist, medics, engineers, and professionals in many other professions, and even soldiers and SAS Commandos. I know one ex SAS, who went to Oxford University. Yours sincerely. F I am a Biochemist.

[@pete3816]

I’m fairly sure there were many many people of your generation that went to uni because lots of others went - not necessarily because they had a specific interest in a specialist subject area. I know at least two from my own family - it was the done thing. Probably best to not assume your personal experience is indicative of a whole generation for the entire country.

[@mathematics5573]

@@pete3816 why do you have to put ne down? most people I recall from my degree days, chose to take up the degree, because they wanted to specialise!. Some probably were pressuriesed by school. maybe private schools. some did unacademic subjects like land economy. They may have been told to go
