Such a decent bloke! Big Phil always brings a smile to my face. Really admire him for sharing his frank and honest opinions and experiences. Big Phil has such a positive outlook on life, a real inspirational character.

[@leddielive]

I think most SAS operators would miss, 1) A regular salary 2) Worldwide travel & adventure 3) Meeting new people & shooting them Not necessarily in that order.😂

[@jamesbowring9528]

I love a good gregg's sausage roll, but cold now. Since they went mushy when they're warm, versus the 90s, when I remember them, I like the bite you get now when they are cold off the shelf in the packet

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Nice one 💪🏻

[@sirnodrick222]

Like in professional sports, where the best of the best inspire the youth to follow in their footsteps, do you think the British Armed Forces recruitment would benefit from employing some of the ex-SAS big celebrity names (You, Billy, Ant, Staz, etc) to aid in Army advertisements?

Love listening to Big Phil. Where do you send the questions or do you just write on here?

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Cheers for watching, you can drop your questions here in the comments 😎

[@patdennison4508]

My Question to Phil: During your time in the SAS, did you ever do an Exercise with the Reserve SAS and if so, were they up to scratch as a 22 Trooper or was there a distinctive difference in level? Thanks very much 👍

[@Nttmf]

Great stuff mate, very entertaining. Keep the channel going. I’m living in Thailand and I can tell you mate, I’m dying for a big greasy kebab. Can’t get it here like in the UK. Next time, have one for me with hot chili sauce and no shit on it. Cheers mate 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@elldee1995]

Do you have any funny dits from when you were on operations ? What were blokes like on a day to day basis? Ps been a big fan of big phill for years ever since I read born fearless - still the only book I read start to finish without getting bored 😂❤

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Thank you for your support!

[@naebadyersel]

Love the podcast mate. one thing that gets me is imposter syndrome. all throughout life even when im fully qualified to be there and more than capable to be there i feel like an imposter. ive left the army and made my way up my career ladder and now in a supervisory role once again and the imposter syndromes hit hard. any advice? did you feel the same when you turned up and in your head your like ‘im a sas man’ but your still you, you know??

Phil are you aware of anyone from any of the services that has passed selection who has come from a non combat role? If yes, what was the trade?

Someone was trying to be funny with the old " can i wear my daysack at night" and failed fucking miserably by missing out a word😂

[@adrianking8752]

Great show! Q: How dangerous is the jungle training in terms of big animals? For example being possibly hunted yourself by big cats etc, or is the jungle used chosen not usually home to these and would cracking a few rounds off be the norm if an attack by one was on the cards to scare them off?

Question for Big Phil, could you teach our Cadet Detachment how to build a Basha properly?!? They’re terrible at it 🤦🏻🤦🏻

We got these questions from instagram but you can leave your questions in the comments here 😎

[@Beakachuwu]

@@ForceRadioHQ Ok here's a question. I've watched loads of the podcasts with Phil and other high achievers in the military. They all joined young - 16 to 18. What routes are there into the forces for someone older, say late 20s - early 30s? What roles could they do? Could they make it in a SF / Elite unit?

Being scared of spiders, do you have any honking stories coming across them during your time in the military? Cheers

Should sf missions be confirmed by sf bosses instead of waiting for know nothing politicians who sit behind desks and have never seen combat.

QUESTION FOR BIG PHIL. WOULD YOU RATHER FIGHT A HORSE SIZED DUCK OR 10 DUCK SIZED HORSES????

My question wasn't answered despite being a legitimate question? Makes me think you screen them before Phil answers, or he just doesn't want to answer them?

Sorry mate, We get loads of questions, You can tell by the spelling mistakes that they weren't screened.

Where are the new quality recruits coming from that are good enough warriors for the SF. When you watch TV adverts its all women and ethnic centric helping refuges. The army need capable fighting men. We are screwed if we need to fight as a country right now. Woke wont help you when you need to fight off a big Russian bloke....

[@tridentuk6885]

"Follow my social media if you want to see my fitness regimen". Phil, why is your Instagram full of pictures of kebabs and Ulster frys? :D Making me hungry now. Agreed, Matt LeTissier was one hell of a footballer.

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Can't be shredding it in the gym all day now 🤣

[@ms16648]

Why would you not regret f*cking up and getting kicked out? It was a premature, ignominious end to what could have been a long career, and you suffered mentally from it. If you can't look back and regret that, then have you really grown from it? Only a narcissist has no regrets.
