Jason fox what a legend could listen to the man all day and learn a lot from him total respect

[@benmacklin3884]

This man is a complete boss. He has such a presence. Scary dude.

[@benedictearlson9044]

Funny as I don't find him scary at all actually. He seems a very pleasant and intelligent guy with a big-heart, especially for someone with that physique as a lot of blokes with big muscles have big heads for some reason.

[@hjr2000]

He's only scary if you're one of the bad guys, or being trained by him too I imagine!

[@jerryoshea3116]

@WrestleBase I think u nailed it there.He's a big guy,looks fit but displays a very unassuming demeanor.But I'm sure when he is required to go into his work/action mode,the transformation might be somewhat shocking or awe inspiring to some people..

[@jerryoshea3116]

@Will Harris Interesting?.But i think n Many SF units around the Globe share probably similar fitness levels etc(there's not much to separate them)..But as u pointed out It's the Brit,(which includes the ANZACS of course) Israelis and Americans,that are usually the most active&have raised the bar!

[@ms1coys446]

You'd be surprised how gentle he is. Don't let appearances be the one thing to fool you in life.

[@georgeyoung4881]

Watch Billy Billinghams interview, pretty sure the interviewer says to him “ Jason Fox pulled me up on referring to him as sas “ Like the thought of foxy giving him a telling off afterwards 😂

[@andyg6967]

Jason Fox is being to polite to tell him he was never in the SAS.

[@rhysthomas5816]

Andy G technically he was in both SAS and SBS. Ollie ollerton talks about it too. Wikipedia has a page that explains it

[@andyg6967]

Only in so far as the SAS and SBS both now come under UKSF and they do sometimes work jointly on operations.In a conversation I had with Jason Fox to clear it up he told me he was never in the SAS.

[@rhysthomas5816]

Fair enough! Wikipedia has failed me!

[@andyg6967]

rhys thomas No worries,I’m not mates with him or anything I met him at a book signing and asked him.

[@plummetplum]

Was he in SBS then?

[@johnobiro5202]

Got a lot of time for Jason. He’s a proper Man’s Man.

[@markspurgeon5646]

I have complete respect for this guy 👍

[@karina-6622]

I loved this. Great questions 😊 can’t wait to read the book!!

[@scipioafrikanus9511]

Got the book. Brutally honest. Good read.

[@chrisjohnson6631]

Such an inspiration and role model. Loved listening to this

[@flok1971]

Sooo much respect for Fox.. Hunest about his situation, and a big example for many...

[@daisies53]

How lovely and honest Jason is! Very refreshing! War is such a terrible thing to have to face and I cannot imagine how terrible to experience it!

[@jasonfox3871]

Hello thanks for the comments 🙏🙏 how are you and thanks for the support 💖🙏

[@robinh102020]

Great interview

[@andrewb3289]

Nothing but admiration for this man. You can see clearly he has he's shot together and why he was in the special forces. Great interview brilliantly put together. Be honest with yourself legend 🙌 foxy.

[@richardhukins1703]

What a lovely bloke.

[@mentalhealth4u240]

great interview and using Jasons' book as part of my research for my next entry in the book world.

[@tgchan]

Thank you~!!

[@daisies53]

What an amazing kitchen Tim!

[@achilles_wiggen]

Jason seems like a great guy. Very humble. Like!

[@Sebastian-pb9hm]

Would be amazing if Jason Fox could go on Jocko's podcast. Would be amazing to hear how his UK SF experiences compare with Jocko's being an ex-US Navy Seal

[@jerryoshea3116]

As a former Londoner who has lived in the U.S for over 20 yrs,most of the Americans i'v met are either not interested too much in the UK or what they do know is pretty limited (Apart from the usual stuff,Royal family,Shirlock Holmes,the Beatles,Benny Hill,etc,etc)Some may consider that ignorent, liimited, insular perhaps?but they might not think that,it's a massive country,with enough to keep them occupied. .But whenever I'v met any Ex Military,they always talk about their positive experiences working with the British Military..And for those who have had some kind of experience of either the SAS or SBS they,just show immense respect..

[@bluespig1]

Jocko who? Please...

[@00S3V3N]

I LOVE HIS BRUTAL HONESTY!!

[@dileas4892]

Job well done with the interview....very interesting ,humble and in depth!!!Jason seems to be a fantastic guy ,open and truthful.....going to look for his book, thanks

[@walster59]

WoW such an Honest Person, Good on ya Jason

[@virginiecb3790]

Absolute dream of a man physically and mentally

[@DannyB497]

It’s the SBS ffs how is it so difficult for people to understand, I’ve watched about 3 interviews lately with foxy not one interviewer has bothered to educate themselves?

[@aldozilli1293]

Isn't the SBS like a camper version of the SAS?

[@alistermackenzie4098]

@@aldozilli1293 SBS is special boat service, SAS is special air service.

[@aldozilli1293]

@@alistermackenzie4098 I know what it stands for, the sailor vibe must make it camper.

[@1889AP]

@@aldozilli1293 no lol, they aren’t sailors they are basically “frogmen” they do land focused SF stuff but specialise in water based warfare e.g. raiding ships and secretly inserting via water, they are on par with the SAS and both units do a lot of the same work, the main difference is that the SAS specialise with inserting via air (skydiving and parachuting) and the SBS as previously mentioned specialise with water based operations, however each unit will sometimes dabble in their counterparts specialty, for example the hijacked cargo ship that was in the English Channel a few months ago was retaken by a contingent made up of both SAS and SBS and there are times when the SBS will do operations utilising insertion by air, the SBS may be the “Special Boat Service” but they aren’t sailors that’s reserved to the navy. Hopefully this helped

[@glendafuller9261]

Great guy

[@shaunpage4831]

with all the crap going on in this country ,jason fox brings back the pride

Such a genuine awesome bloke, the books amazing ! Nothing but respect !👍✌️🇬🇧

Jason Fox is pure Class A Alfa male and should be championed as a role model for all young men today. What a guy :).

Coolest studio I've ever seen

[@jamoco1]

@@mmafan4958 I think it may be you who needs to stop doing that

[@SOSO-ey2fz]

Jason Fox is humble, articulate, and a hero in serving in the military, im fairly disgusted that numpty tim( nice but dim) lovejoy did not even research or digest Jason Fox's book enough to note that he served in the SBS. Also his reference to the original SAS soldiers as psychopaths that wanted to have more fun is at best crude, another example of his seemimg skim read approach to research. Tim lovejoy should stick to interviewing dumb popstars and actors that are on his superficial level.

[@jonathangilson5076]

It’s all free publicity for a book which all people, aka ‘Fat Civvies’, whether your fat or not for the easily offended safe zone/ snow flake types love to lap up and dream about. Good on people for expressing themselves in a literal way as opposed to an violent manner. Especially if u scraped a NAMET. There’s lots of former servicemen and woman who have a story or two to tell. Like the other 29 in a troop or squadron. Some of us just adapt to civvy street as regular men and fathers. We don’t continue to see ourselves as Steely eyed commando’s swinging the lantern. We change the record & move on with our journey . It’s a nice way to make a few quid but it’s a limited market which becomes old and boring eventually.

[@andyw9255]

The description of the original SAS soldiers as psychopaths is understandable. Ben Macintyre (the writer who appeared on Sunday Brunch) does detail a couple of key characters in the early SAS who did have strong sociopathic traits, and who committed genuine war crimes, arguably for pleasure. But the Originals' unifying trait was, as Foxy said of the modern Special Forces, "thinking outside the box" - and many of them were thoroughly decent people. I like Tim Lovejoy, but the football lad schtick doesn't work in an interview with such a thoughtful, interesting guy.

[@joespencer6287]

So embarrassing... Foxy let's it go every time.. He must be thinking you fucking prick

[@domzbu]

SAS sbs same thing

[@domzbu]

He was pretty respectful on the whole

[@tonyfab3543]

Marsh Seath I’ve met Jason and the guys you have to pass SAS selection and then go for the SBS

[@macchirpy]

@@tonyfab3543 SF selection, then you go into either sas/sbs

[@edwardbenjamin4293]

@Signs All those wishing to join UKSF (SBS or SAS) must pass a joint selection process. Depending on their chosen career path, on passing joint selection they will move on to further selection and training with their chosen unit. Candidates only get 2 shots at passing selection.

[@reetaylor9301]

macchirpy don’t forget the srr

[@milaskilathelab]

I'm sure it was a genuine mix up with saying he was in the SAS instead of SBS...

[@hjr2000]

No, the interviewer should have known the difference really.

[@Alex-mj5dv]

Lovejoy.. what a prat. Foxy.. legend.

[@frankiez7414]

read the book in 3 days, just couldn't put it down. Thought it would be just a money spinner but I tried it and was impressed. I think when you are dealing with shit, death and destruction it will take its toll.

[@lifeisgo3901]

A pity Channel 4 did not call the program SBS: By Strength and Guile which would have been more respectful to Jason, Ollie and Ant. Ollie, I've read, first attempted SAS selection but failed because he made contact with civilians. The SBS, the special forces wing of the Royal Navy, was founded slightly earlier than the SAS and was originally called the Special Boat Squadron due to consisting of only one squadron. Eventually, three extra squadrons were raised and the SBS now exist with Z,X,C and M squadrons, hence its now the Special Boat Service. Comments welcome if there's errors in the above!

[@andyw9255]

SAS and SBS selection are initially the same thing, called "Special Forces Selection", at the end of which (if successful) you either get an SAS beret (effectively on probation), or go on to further SBS selection. Ollie failed first time because his patrol bumped into a drunk farmer who gave them a lift to a checkpoint. Unfortunately the farmer had a fall after dropping them off, smashing his head, and to get out of trouble (maybe for drink driving), he then made up a story for the local police that he'd been beaten up by the SAS. The farmer gave perfect descriptions of the soldiers, so Ollie's patrol was identified and failed. Ollie later learned that catching lifts with farmers was commonplace on selection, including among successful candidates, but the trick was not to get caught!

[@taigolan8734]

@@andyw9255 They are now the same thing, about 15 years ago they became the same selection but before they were different selections

[@andyw9255]

@@taigolan8734 Think most the lads on the show would have been on the new format, given their ages. Ant Middleton joined the SBS in 2008 so definitely was. I guess Ollie Ollerton was probably the old format looking at it.

[@petehumphries3359]

Lovejoy say sf not sas as the fox was sbs!

[@itsbadlarry]

I hope he had a word before the podcast that he’d just use SAS to refer to UKSF as a whole for the sake of understanding. He could be an incompetent muppet, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

[@hi-rm8ei]

This is how many times he said army >

[@markspurgeon5646]

I notice a lot of comments on several of Foxy's interviews raising the inaccuracies when it comes to "SAS" and "SBS". Obviously there is occasionally some lack of knowledge from the guys doing the interview, but Foxy himself uses the more broad term "military" very often and for the obvious reason - the TV show (SAS Who dares wins). It could also possibly be argued that the SBS are less well known to the wider public. In reality, the SBS guys deserve just as much credit and respect for what they go through.

[@pimpmysniper]

Tim you need to sort out your subs mate, shocking effort

[@philsmith7343]

Lovejoy....Foxy was never in the SAS. He was in the Royal Marines, so when he passed selection into Special Forces, he went in the the Royal Navy equivalent of the SAS, which is called the SBS.

[@jameshickey100]

Shocking questions and terrible research but love Jason fox so humble and a true hero

[@ashscott6068]

As a woman, I don't think women should be allowed into SF unless they're in separate units. I've been punched in the face by a stray punch as I walked past a street brawl, and before I could turn and put my fingers through the guy's eyes, 4 other guys jumped on him. It's a fact of life. Men act differently around women. Also...if you're showering with women, going to the toilet next to them, watching them change a tampon...you're gonna lose all interest in the punani

[@johnbar1]

strange how he keeps agreeing that he's SAS but isn't actually, same as the others on the show they do apart from billy, and jay most recently, granted the training is the same now, but be proud of your own regiment.... By Strength and Guile

[@simonmorton8159]

Lovely feller

[@Rock-Steady]

Foxy was NEVER in the SAS. He's a former SBS operative. The interviewer should have known this and Foxy should have checked him on that fact.

[@l75rd83]

He was in the SBS, not the SAS. I don’t think you read his book…

I hope this guy felt really stupid that the whole interview he was saying all of the wrong things. Fox has composed himself very well hearing it. Some military folk find it insulting, and I bet in the early years of his military departure this interview would be different lol.

Lovejoy is the name of my favourite drama growing up so the name attracted me lol then I noticed you was from my former island home so I gave you a sub enjoyed this one keep it up and you got me as a regular sub I served only in artillery 😂drop short by name hahaha but I did several tours could relate to him a lot on the book I would right about my journey through burnout I would never accept PTSD not because I don't believe it exists I do but I had the mentality of I am going to live a good life now and progress in my brother's I lost,s honour I traveled to USA met my wife and I will never live in Britain again I will always love it but not to get political I can't see a good future there now I think the Muslim control will topple the average Brits eventually it pains me but sadly the left agenda in Britain is immense and until you leave you don't really see it
