Bring your weak shit, wear the wolf and owler That ain't just a mistake, that's an awful howler
Both of them are known to pull up at your shows Have the crowd witnessing the murder like they're rolling with a gang of crows
Fuck their censorship, let them see the whole thing
They stay dressed to kill, never sheep's clothing
Dark enough to turn the sun to the moon, you'll see nothing
All you hear's a huff and puff and a...
Expect killings, red spilling and flesh ripping
Impressive innit, the death bringing its head spinning
Just kidding, every word in this song's about you grown men dressed up as a bird and a dog
So that's a little wolf alone it
Won't for the podcast inside
Yeah, you broke like a dog money on a damn it's time for
Hello welcome to the wolf top on car. Yeah, what's happening? So sorry for the delay, we didn't do one last week.
Really, really sorry. Really sorry for that.
We're sorry for that.
And then we probably all chatted out because we haven't seen each other for a while.
We spent about half an hour before...
A beautiful half an hour. A beautiful...
In...
...Went!
You good, my guy? You good?
By the way, Jumper, that might be the best Jum the best jumper I've ever seen or fleece. It's fucking sick boy
Really? It's a nice. It's a lovely bit of kit. I'm I'm enough the I'm enough the official. I'm enough Eddie. Thanks, man
How I haven't seen you for ages, but I've missed you sweet sweet. So I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. Yeah, you know what?
I am good. I don't tough. I'd say I got talked. You know what? I had a tough week
Last week the reason we had to delay this slightly personal things
I'm gonna bring this up too much and down about had a very hard week of
Like a really tough fleet few days and then like a combinating the Friday
To think Friday not this Friday Friday two weeks ago and my not this Friday, Friday,
two weeks ago, my cousin's funeral, which was pretty tough.
Which was fucking horrible, actually.
Another weird thing, where I was filming,
that day I was meant to be filming,
and they gave me a two hour window
to go to my cousin's funeral,
and then I had to be back on set,
and then they kept me sitting around.
But, you know, weird thing of like, you know
I didn't know you had to go back afterwards
Yeah, yeah, man
I didn't get to do the burial or really start awake and they were like you can go to the service and then we need
You back it was
Yeah, this is quite bizarre situation really and shout out my
Shout out Olly Aziz because he was fucking amazing trying to sort stuff out and managed actually
Yeah, but yeah, it was um
touching and then I went to the so I was sort of in a bit of a bad place, but
Yeah, quite sad. Then I went to the boxing on Saturday and had my first drink in like 18 months. I
Did a Connor Ben you you back fight that was I need so I just I just want to I just want to
Just if you don't mind, I know you just come off the back of talking about a difficult
situation yeah I just want to pick you up on the your first drink in about 18
months if you don't mind because you've said you've said you've said things like
this a couple of times now when we did your charity gig at the Hackney Empire
you were very sort of held caught in the dressing room
about how you don't drink anymore,
you've not drunk for ages.
You just said that you've not had a drink for 18 months.
Are there some, can I just ask,
are there some drinking sessions
that you're just not counting as part of the thing?
So do you, I just want to ask you a genuine question.
Just want to ask you a genuine question.
On Saturday, when you went to the boxing I just want to ask you a genuine question. I shouldn't ask you a genuine question on Saturday
Yeah, you went to the boxing and you had that sweet sweet taste of get it alcohol
Guinness yeah, yeah, what's that the first time you had drunk in 18 months?
It would have been a failure about it from last last one thing. I'll probably had a drink
I'm trying to think what last time for that was I think it was my mates
Because we can drink at the wall for now live last time degree hmm
And then I think it's probably my mates golf to the golf weekend. I think
Well, what do you think it was? I don't know but it's just I don't know but I just know that I hear a few stuff
I get a few texts moving and again saying falling off the wagon a little bit
I've eaten shit. I sometimes use that if I'm eating badly.
Right, okay.
So do you get pissed off chicken, do you?
No.
I should say, I was as drunk as I thought.
I think there was so much...
Anyway, I've interrupted and this might be a false accusation.
Let's strike that from the record. It's a very facetious yet very probably true...
Anyway you're at the boxing.
I can't remember another time but anyhow.
So I went to the boxing, U-Bang vs Ben.
Absolutely incredible spectacle.
Amazing. I would say that the boxing crowd...
Whose side were you on?
I'm good mates with Tony Sims who Who's the trainer of Connor Ben? I did pick up
I probably picked up the most amount of trolling and a hate that I have ever had on the fact that I
picked Ben.
Did you do that did you do that name dropping at the event as well? Because that's probably...
Yeah, I was in the ringside.
And said that I was...
And I was sort of...
I like Connor, I think he's sweet,
but I actually think Chris Eubank Jr. handled himself with absolute distinction.
I think he's a great character for the sport.
And I will say that the moment Chris Eub Eubanks Sr. and Junior came to like,
came out to simply the best,
was up there with the best sporting moments I've ever seen.
But yeah, I mean, so then also watching it in the,
watching it in the stadium,
I then tweet, I put up an Instagram,
sort of saying how unlucky that Connor had been.
And I literally had just a barrage of people
just laying into me.
Just, yeah.
Well, that's so weird.
That's not like boxing fans.
So they gave you a shitload of abuse
because you disagree with their opinions or something.
Well, can I say the amount of fights
that were in that audience was terrifying
every way you looked.
It was so full on.
But kind of like a, yeah man,
kind of like a great thing to go to,
but it was, you know one of those things
where you feel very like,
if I'm on it, I felt very,
I mean I was texting you a lot about it
and we'd spoken.
I'd had a week of quite a busy week, gigs,
and I'm not very good at dealing with things like, yeah,
death and whatever.
And I sort of push a lot of that stuff.
You don't like, you don't like, and you know, over and above the loss of your cousin and
going to the funeral, you have what a lot of us have, which is when something like this
happens, it's a reminder of how short a time it is that we have on this
earth and that sends you into a bit of a spiral whenever it happens, isn't it? And that's totally
understandable. I think a lot of people can relate to that where you get reminded of your own
mortality. We basically spend our days not thinking about that or trying not to engage with it, right?
And then every now and again, something really heavily reminds you of that and it's a bit horrible.
Yeah, I think it's that thing of from a young age having that weird
relationship with it. I suppose it's that thing of, and then, yeah, I suppose when someone's only a
few years older than you and she was very, as a person, someone who sort of, you know,
my formative years have been very supportive
and you're a very lovely person and incredible,
so left behind a family, you sort of,
you don't really want to think about it.
And there's a part of our job that you're almost,
I don't know, sometimes if you let that stuff in,
it can, you know, and it's very,
look, I mean, I'm fucking fucking I don't want to come across like
I know how blessed I am to do what I do but I think when you're you don't when
do you think about it like I kicked I think four times that week I was filming
that week I had so there's not a time really where I'm yeah that's it wasn't
like and to leave like a service and then go straight to show to filming and put you know, you put a wig and become another character
You just you're not really dealing with stuff and that that's paramount to me with quite a lot of stuff
Well, I think about how she I'm not really
dealt with this that this you know you and
I think to be fair with with my cousin Diana. I hadn't even talked to anyone about it really I've not like spoken to obviously Catherine but you know, you can't you know, Catherine was sort of cocky
Seeing it, you know if I was alright or whether I'm how I was feeling with stuff
I don't really I find it very difficult
That stuff so
So that night that you went to the boxing.
Yeah.
Because I don't want to talk about this.
I'm not saying that this sounds like now I'm
nervous to mention this because now it looks like I'm just
trying to crow by this thing.
But I did the marathon on Sunday,
so the day after you went to watch the boxing.
But the night before, on the Saturday night,
I went and stayed at a house.
Because they had like a coach picking up
some of the participants taking them to this hospitality tent yeah
so the pickup for that was at this hotel in town I went up the night before with
James Cooper who by the way this is the podcast was really very happy about what
he said about his face you know like you said the other sort of face that you'd
kill anything.
Yeah.
He's buzzing about that.
I think he's more excited about that
than doing the London Marathon.
Anyway, we pulled up at the hotel,
Chris Eubanks' car was parked up outside the hotel.
We're at the same hotel as him.
Wow, did you get to see him?
No.
No.
We're not gonna have a look at his car though.
Give it a little kick.
What car was it? I think it was, I. Give it a little kick. What kind of it?
I think it was I'm not really a car expert, but I think it was a McLaren
He's he's got some I tell you how I knew is his cars because he got a personalized number plate which I
Yeah, well I find I always find personalized number plates a remarkable decision from anybody
Yes, I got somebody I say that somebody whose mother's got a personalized number plate.
She really? Your mother's got a personalized number plate?
Oh my god, that makes for me love her ever more.
Anyway, listen, let's get the morose stuff out of the way.
I do need to say thank you for, you were very, very lovely and decent.
When I had opened up to you and told you the situation,
which I'd sort of felt a bit weird that I hadn't spoken to you about it before you were
like, like I knew you were big bit, you know, you were very very supportive and very genuine
and as you always are, I feel very blessed to have you as a brother.
No you are, you are listening.
You're one of the good guys.
Yeah, well thanks Matt, it's very sweet of you, it's very sweet of you and I wish more
people realised that you know, Certainly on my social media.
And then you went and did it, and it was quite amazing because you went and did the marathon for Tina's Cancer Trust
Yes, that was that was that was um, it was like a mad day first of all so James and I stayed at the hotel
next morning next morning I like
You know
James and I kept
having this chat, we're just gonna have a good day tomorrow.
Don't worry about like ripping it or whatever. Just have a good
day. Just have a good day. That's all. That's our mantra for
doing the marathon. I come out, I come out my hotel room, the
coach is coming to pick us up at like, I don't know, 715 or
something. Come out the hotel room, there's an American guy,
just like a fucking like guy in his 20s just goes, you doing
the marathon
I go yeah, and he goes fuck yeah, and then I'm so god no disrespect to the skater, but we've not got the same energy
Yeah, and then we get to the left another American guy gets it and these guys are I don't have to explain it. They just
They just look great in their marathon gear
Do you know I mean like the shorts fucking, they fit their thighs perfectly.
The running vest looks sick.
Do you know what I mean?
Even like the number, like everything about them,
they just look fucking great.
And I think it's one of those situations
where they can tell there's three of us in the lift,
one of us is from a different species, right?
It's obvious to all three people in the lift.
Yeah.
It's just plain ridiculous.
Yeah, but is that not in your head?
Do you think there's an element of some of this? Poss you think possibly possibly but I thought it might be on my head also by
the way what insane question to ask you when you come out of your room in your
marathon clothes are you doing the marathon yeah you got no no just a very
exuberant supporter of it I'm gonna stand by the sidelines shouting we get
into the left and the two Americans
are chatting to each other.
By the way, this is how well they can tell
that we're different species.
They immediately gravitate towards each other
and talk to each other and do not involve me
in this conversation.
This guy knows I'm running the marathon.
Then he sees somebody that's of the same kind of ilk as him.
So they start chatting.
And I just feel like-
Where were you sat in the lift? Were you in the three? Were you in the middle?
Yeah, I was in the middle. So imagine them two talking across me and I'm like this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of them guys, I heard, heard the temperatures are going to be a little bit high.
They told us not to go for a PR.
Fuck that, am I right?
I didn't come here to relax.
And the other guy goes, you fuck that, man.
Britt's always going about the temperature.
I fucking ran Miami, wasn't a problem.
Anyway, we got the lift.
Already my anxiety is now fucking through the roof.
Yeah, it's peaking.
Peaking. We go down to wait for the coach waiting for the coach was Jenny Faulkner and
Adam would yet so have a little chat with them
It's so bad at another marathon, isn't it so which
In bill, by the way has he's actually become like I've started checking in on it
Like he's not fucking incredible with his right. He's like got obsessed with running isn't it?
Yeah, he's super into it. Is he still is he still we in bill or is he now left in bill?
I don't know. He's still in it. I'm pretty sure he's still in it. Anyway, he
He's just like a fight. I've never met him before but what a funny bloke
Well enough play football with him. he shouted at me, but.
Yeah, that's not me, that's hilarious.
So anyway, we go get on the coach.
I literally, this has made my life
that you've become best friends with Ian Beale.
I've not become best friends with him.
But I'm gonna chat with him.
As we walk up to the coach with Jenny Falkner
and Ian Beale, Adam Woodger,
bump into Alexandra Burke,
who's also running the club. Wow. I just tell you that. Jesus. or in Ian Bale, Adam Woodrow, bumping to Alexandra Burke,
who's also running the club.
Wow.
I was telling you.
Jesus.
Get all the coaches.
You're rolling with the nines.
Well, I think it's because they put all the presenter types
in the hospitality.
You were staying in the Celebrity Hotel.
No, it's not.
No, it's not the Celebrity Hotel.
It's just where the coach picks up from
I mean like I said as well Chris Evans. Yeah. Yeah, Chris Evans
Yes, anyway, we get to that we get to hospitality tent, you know, and this is
Probably no disrespect to anybody else probably my most exciting
Spot the person I chatted to up there definitely up there. Maybe the top. I'd probably this up actually meet Lisa McGillis was running the man
Oh, yeah, it's a girl. Yeah, I saw she did it
Yeah, I want to anyway, so we go do that we go do the marathon
I could go into a lot of data here, but I'm not going to first half of the marathon
Was great
Absolutely flying right hit our bridge. That's a. James and I are having a great time.
James, by the way, big shout out to James.
He just was talking me through it the whole way
and keeping track on the timings.
He's just an amazing guy.
He was incredible.
He was incredible, right?
You know what you found is you found your Merlin
or your Gandalf of running.
Yeah, I do know him.
You're like Frodo or Arthur,
and you had like that person by the side of you.
Like almost like he was on his great white horse
just by the side of you just running.
Yeah, but I think the difference is that
for Merlin and Gandalf,
when they're sort of helping those people,
they're helping people that are the only people that can do it.
If James wanted to,
he could have run the marathon a lot quicker.
And in fact he was sort of carrying dead weight.. Well can I just say both Frodo and Arthur were
chosen to be great very much like yourself you have fucking such Frodo and
Arthur energy so how dare you to pretend that they could have run along with
anyone. Okay so anyway we do the first half of the marathon and you can
feel it's hot right you can feel like it is like I don't know we're talking a 26
we're talking a 26 degree right yeah so so so then suddenly you start to see
people just fucking falling to like just people are passing out dropping out
Joel Domic collapsed yeah Joel Domic collapsed it is here's the thing for you So like just people are passing out dropping out. I saw Joe dummy. Joe dummy claps. Yeah, Joe dummy collapse
It is here's a thing for you. Joe dummy collapse spent an hour in an ambulance. I beat him by 50 seconds
right that
Joe tell me right collapsed got put in an ambulance
Got out the ambulance, but I do know what, I might as well finish,
and I beat him by 50 seconds, less than a minute.
Even supportive Tom Davis can't fail
to see the comedy in that.
You still beat Joe, he's like a fucking,
like an incredible athlete.
Listen, this is the way I see it.
He pushed himself.
We're like the tortoise and the hare. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, you are basically, himself. We're like the tortoise and the hare.
Do you know what I mean?
That's it.
Yeah, you are basically,
yeah, you are exactly the tortoise and the hare.
What great fucking, you are the tortoise.
I tortoised him out of that race,
beating by 50 seconds, do you know what I mean?
You know what, in a way, you probably beat him
because you got inside his head
and then he fucking thought he could just destroy you
and then fucking ended up, you know,
but I mean, shout out to Joel, by the way I said that is a fee of that is my finish it
If I'd have even tripped over that's the end of my marathon
Let alone spend the load of time in an ambulance
What the fuck are you doing so much?
I got so knowing Joe Domit would have been lovely in the ambulance as well
He wouldn't have just been sitting there quietly. It'd be very very affable chance people. He wouldn't have just sat. there quietly. It would have been very, very affable chatting to people. He wouldn't have just sat, you know, he would have, you know, he probably...
Well, actually, actually, um,
because he covered my radio show on Saturday.
Yeah.
I saw him. Shout out, yeah, Gus Kahn on there.
Shout out Gus Kahn.
So one of the things that apparently Joel said,
and this is a, it's both
funny and a damn insight of where
people like us are, where our priorities are.
As he fainted, started toatters out, is anybody filming this, is anybody filming this,
this is really funny. Sort of in his delirium. And then look, because he's obviously like,
if you're passed out like that, you're sort of all over the shot.
You're somewhere between the ether and reality, right?
Exactly right, yeah. So then he gets taken to the ambulance. He starts saying to the St. John's ambulance people
Do you have Gabby Logan's phone number?
She needs to know about this
Why Gabby Logan?
Because she was doing the coverage. She was doing the BBC coverage.
I'd love it if the ambulance drivers, yeah we've all got a hotline to Gabby Logan to say.
You know when you faint, 70% of the time when you faint, you defecate or piss yourself.
So he's so lucky that neither of those things happened.
Yeah, no, he's really lucky.
I mean, I don't even know.
I had to come back from just publicly shitting.
Cause I-
Well, you've gotta run the rest of the marathon
with no pants and shorts on.
Yeah, I guess, I guess you do.
Or you get a spare pair of pants off one of the
St. John's ambulance people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's probably bad.
And then you say to them, this is them, this is a little souvenir for you.
Early on in the marathon, I was lucky enough to speak to, well, this is a mad experience.
There's like a kid stood by the side side like mile three or something like that. He stood he's got a GoPro attached to his head
Right stood by the side and he's just holding my autobiography out into the right Wow
Wow, so I run up to him. I
Rounded him. So obviously like he doesn't see me. Right? So, I mean, thank God I saw him.
He was, like, looking out for us.
So then I stopped and had a chat with him.
He, like, just wanted his book signed.
He'd come to, like, the tour,
just wanted his book signed, had a little chat and then was off.
15, 16, maybe, I think.
Oh, amazing. Okay.
Anyway, so then we carry on running.
Every time, by the way, you gave him a gift by that autograph and then the chat
He gave you a gift because every time you had to pitch in and fucking tried you for your best
You could just think of his little face. Yes. Yeah
Just man. Yeah, so what cool name is well, thanks
Anyway, then midway fruits
So we I got interviewed by Gabby Logan at the beginning of the marathon and then they said
The BBC want to chat to you on your way round. All right, do you is that okay?
And then I just said no not like in a bad way, but I'm just like I'm gonna be like
Fuck so I don't know how well I'm gonna be able to do the marathon
Anyway, I go round we carry on doing the thing. So I'll just say to James, by the way,
we're not doing any interviews on the way around.
And then I get stopped by somebody,
well, I guess the message didn't get to them.
So I get stopped by this producer, like, runner person,
and they go, can we get an interview,
can we get an interview with you?
So they stop me, pull me around.
There's nobody there to do the interview.
So I stopped.
By the way, you've got then, so what's this, 20 minutes?
What do you mean?
How long does this take?
How long does this take out of 20 minutes?
It does take ages.
It's like two, three minutes or something.
Do you know what I mean?
Because I'm here to be your supporter, right?
Yeah.
I can't not be Team Ramesh.
So you say an hour that Joel Domit
was in that fucking ambulance, right?
Yeah, I know you you've done at least seven minutes with Louie and that you autograph
Okay
That I know these interviews with producers how long that will take you're talking 15 there, right? Let's just give this a yeah
Let's just give this what it is. Let's just say that's 20 minutes. That's 40 minutes that Joel you've got on Joel
Okay, thank you. Thank you. Let's just say that's 20 minutes. That's 40 minutes that Joel you've got on Joel. Okay.
Thank you, Tom. Thank you. That's really sweet of you. So then I got so anyway that go round and go round and then on
Tower Bridge. Now this doesn't really say this doesn't stop me
but it's that I'll get interviewed on Tower Bridge. Like
they grab me on Tower Bridge and they sort of run with me and
interview me on Tower Bridge.
By the way, that's that's one of the coolest things. They only
interview the best people on Tower Bridge. I don way, that's it. That's what the coolest things they only interview the best people on Tower Bridge
I don't think that's true. I swear it is. That's okay. It's the most spectacular bit
Yeah halfway point. This is this is the embarrassing bit. So first of all, I don't I'm think to myself
How does this coverage fit in? What is this interview? I didn't realize it's live
right, so I'm
Luckily, I didn't swear anything, but I don't know how I I didn't know how this fits in I thought they're just doing little bits
and then they'll show them at the end of the day or whatever I was on live
television and then as we go around the corner I look down and my like bib has
like come off right like the top pin is like come undone away yeah so I stop and
then James sort of like does the the like puts the pin back up on the on the bit
And he's not by the way. Yeah
Minister for I know anyway as James is doing it
He's sort of leaning and trying to get the pin in or it looks like quite an intimate moment
Anyway, they fucking film that that makes part of the marathon coverage
Somebody's kind of somebody gonna be a screen grab somebody says she's screaming grab of James and James reattaching my big block with lovers
Jimmy then but are we you are marathon lovers?
Like what into right look can I just say right that in itself?
I if I was you I'd have that I
Probably go out finding really good paint in the local area and have that picture of you and James painted where he's doing your bib up
Right because sometimes it's about pulled muscles sometimes. It's about personal best
but sometimes it's about a pin that comes undone and a really really fucking embarrassing moment for someone and
You know how many fucking human beings would have just let you carry it on one of you bit falling down
The James to have done that guy. Hey, hey, hey
You're not going into that board with the neat with the fucking tie like that. You're fucking both eyes come undone
So yes, what he's doing you on the dance floor, baby, and I'm gonna make sure you look amazing. Yes
What blessed human being he's really sweet guy really sweet guy
Can't tell you how much I adore this guy. I've never met him in a way. I don't want to but do it
Yeah, that's weird. Just because I
Held him in such a state. I get it. I get a way I don't want to but do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's weird. Just because. Oh, you don't want to meet your heroes.
No, because I held him in such esteem.
Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it.
Anyway.
You meet your heroes and it's like.
I would say genuinely the second half of that marathon was the most physically demanding
thing I've ever done in my life, right?
Like I, the exhaustion, like I was sweating so much my shirt had salt on it
Just like shit loads of like salt stains and stuff like that
I was cramping up like both my legs were just completely cramped up
I was having to like stop every now and again and stretch them out because they were just burning up and to the point
How many times how many times did you stop and how long for I must have stopped to stretch three times
Can I make can I take can I tell you that's a minute or two? So literally by the way?
This hour that you had on gel domain in my mind. This is half an hour, right?
Yeah, you're right, but
Overdo things you under do things if you're a cake maker if you're fucking bake off you give me a cake I'm like this is fucking soggy at the bottom
Ramesh because you never proof you know you never fucking you never give things
as much as you should you know you don't pay for cake you don't okay but so I
tell you what somebody did after I finished the marathon there's a bit
where I was like cramps and I was like crap bent over trying to stretch my
calves out somebody just took a fucking selfie with me. I didn't realize it's just like me
Just holding on to the railings with my head down
Yeah, somebody's smiling next to me like this just go
Anyway that towards the end it was really embarrassing and I've got to say I've got to apologize to it because people at the London Marathon were amazing
like the support
Was incredible like the atmosphere was mad towards the end. I was so battered. I stopped acknowledging
I was I was walking long Tom
It was a bit it was giving Jamie Lang ultra marathon Jimmy what I was doing. I was like
Jamie Lang ultra marathon. Do you know what I was doing? I was like this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh!
Oh!
Like that for the last section.
It's quite, it's actually-
Yeah, but you can't help your body.
Yeah, but it was just a bit-
The wise man once told me,
don't fight against your body.
It's a battle you'll never win.
Right.
Well-
Unless you're that Goggins guy.
Yeah, that's true.
If he beats his body all the time.
Actually, James said to me, he goes to me, he was talking to me about the pain.
He goes, now I'm going to tell you now, from what you've described, you're not doing yourself any permanent damage.
So just do whatever you can. You're doing really great.
He's like Pep talking me through the thing.
He goes, I promise you, he goes, as soon as you cross the finish line, this pain will disappear.
He goes, I promise you.
So we just keep going, keep going. And then the last bit the last because let's pick it up now for this last little stretch
I didn't think I could do it start picking up run over the finish line
He was right soon as I cross the finish line pain stops
In there's something about
Your body and he's so warm with your body more than you are. Okay, so yeah, it's pretty I mean, it's pretty
Amazing amazing. Yeah, he He got inside of you and ran the marathon. Well, okay. Okay. Okay. I
Had a feeling you're warming to your theme a little bit too much, but let's just leave it there. All right
He was great. No, he was great
And the good thing is the good thing is, genuinely,
flat to America the next day to film Robert Romesh versus,
this is what the most miraculous thing about my training,
don't feel like I've run a marathon at all,
I've been totally fine.
And last year, I could barely move.
So, really good.
That means you're conditioned now.
You're a fucking, so you're an athlete now. You're a fucking athlete.
And also can I shout you out man because everywhere, you know, it was my birthday on the 27th.
I've got to say I wasn't as integral in your running as I was the year before.
That's probably done me good because you're a giant. I knew you were a big fan of James.
But everyone I spoke to and the bits I saw of it it that heat for that marathon for a lot of people as well
I know who ran it was said it was one of the most people have run it four or five times before
I've said that's the most barbaric year they can remember by heat wise so shout you out brother for and also you fucking beat your
best
If you run a marathon enough you can get a PB the next time
If you run a marathon slow enough, you can get a PB the next time. No, no, no.
Don't take the shine off, brother, because that's no man.
You fucking beat your best time.
You beat Joel Domit.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, no, you're right.
Can I just say, by the way, you beat Joel Domit.
How much did Joel Domit beat you by the year before?
Well, actually, he only beat me by 40 minutes
because he's running with that Piranha costume on wasn't he?
No, about an hour, just under an hour.
Yeah, okay cool. Well basically,
so this time, even if you give him that half hour fucking head start,
that he's accrued in the ambulance,
he'd have only beat you by half hour.
So, you're catching Joel Donner.
No, it feels good.
Are you going to do it again? That's the big question. Everyone keeps asking me wherever I go.
Is Robert Drang and A-Fing going to run the marathon again?
It's currently undecided.
I think you will.
I think you will.
Why?
You've got like a fucking vibe about you when it comes to it.
I don't think you can leave running.
I think running is you now.
I think there's a real chance I'll leave comedy before I leave running now
That's where I'm at now. I think you by the way, I think you should go and run the New York marathon
Like do another massive listen Tom. It's so it's mad enough
That somebody at my level is running the London marathon to then travel abroad to run at the level that I'm running. It's fucking
But you know what I said this and I've said this to like you and I've said it.
I find what you've done so fucking inspiring. You know, can I just say, this is insane to say,
feel free to pick this apart. I don't know if it was the Guinness or knowing that my best friend
was running a marathon the day before. When I was at the boxing, I got a chat to someone from DeZone,
a couple of beers in, he starts chatting to me and he said oh would you have a fancy misfits and in my head I'm like I was going no
no no but then another Guinness or so later I went up to him and was thinking
well Romesh has run a marathon I went if you can get me a good someone to fight
I'll give it a try and he went it's quite grueling and a training all I
could think of is what you've accomplished that I go fucking
Oh, he put you put your mind to something and you fucking smashed it. I think that's a fucking
I was like, that's very sweet. He tried something. So Tom, that's very sweet of you
But what I don't want is me training and running the marathon to lead to you making a huge mistake, which that would be
Okay. Let me let me be crystal clear
a huge mistake which that would be. Okay let me let me be crystal clear do not fight in misfits okay let me just I just I can't reiterate this enough I do not
want to be the reason you do misfits okay it let me be clear I don't want
there to be any I I Ramesh Rang do not think, in fact I know you shouldn't do
a misfits fight, okay, do not do it.
No, no, but it put in my head, I'm like,
maybe I need something like that to work towards.
Yeah.
Because I can't do a hydrox or a choc.
No, but the problem is-
You did hydrox as well.
You're like, out of the two of us,
you're the elite sportsman.
Can I tell you, first of all, I'm not, can I tell you the other thing that I found out about, first of all, you're the elite sportsman. Can I tell you, first of all,
can I tell you the other thing that I found out about,
first of all, it's high rocks.
But I wanna tell you,
do you know what high rocks is short for?
This is so embarrassing.
I can't believe that this is what it is.
High rocks sounds cool, right?
Right? Yeah, yeah.
Do you know what it's short for?
Go on. Hybrid rock star.
Oh my God, really?
Yeah. That's a lot of stuff for you.
I've got a double check.
Somebody told me that.
It's so egg it can't be true.
Hybrid rock star.
No way.
Mate, it is. I'm looking at it.
It's not for me that.
I can't vibe off that.
What, high rocks?
Yeah, I salute anyone who goes and does it
I'm just gonna love to anyone who rocks is hard. I was planning on doing it
I was planning on doing another one two days after the marathon two days before oh my god
But you're insane. I don't get my hadn't trained for it. So that would I think if you're doing all this stuff
The very least I can fucking do is take on Ross camp in a boxing match, please
First of all, are you being serious right now? Are you going to do it?
Yeah
There's an element of me that thinks if they're offered to fight like Ross camp or someone with that ilk
Do I mean similar age similar build look you've done amazing. It's a child. You look incredible
But you do never miss it
You're gonna have to you're gonna have to do something. I don't want to see you doing that sort of fake trash talking where you're like, I would do that
I would do that. We have to you have to you got a build on the fire. No, no, no, no
They're all doing that. I heard from fighting. I'd say that we can do this
We can get it on and it's about two old guys getting everything
I know that feature unless I'm really couldn't stand the person then no
Unless I'm really could stand the person then no, and it's not
You generate interest in the fight. Yes, sir. I think it's enough interest in the journey
No, you told me also by the way
Just can I just say by the way, can I just say by the way, right? I know my place in the scheme with this. I'm not they're not gonna be getting me to headline the O2 fight in Ross camp
It would very much be an undercard fight.
It wouldn't be like, it would be one of the fights
where I had the easy ones there.
Which by the way, can I say something's inexcusable
for boxing?
The idea that you think,
that you say you're gonna be fighting at the O2
is you being humble, is fucking incredible by the way.
No, but those events take place in big places.
I'm gonna be the eighth fighter. Let me tell you this.
Let me tell you this.
I am meek and I'm humble and I know my place.
I'll only be on the undercard at the O2 Arena.
Doing my boxing match.
I'm not getting above my station.
Let me be the co-op live that I'll be doing this at.
Alright?
I know my place yeah what a fucking what a
down-to-earth grounded guy you are you're you're Ross Kemp
the bat under the board is be quite good buddy yeah the United win me or us can
who do you think we win tricky that in that because Ross Kemp has I think you've probably had a tough
You've had a tougher I'm assuming you've had a tougher upbringing for them than you ask him
But he but the thing is I think there there might be an argument that he wants it more than you
Because he's done this, you know Ross Kemp on gangs and like a little bit of his his cache and his notoriety
Is based on him being a bit of his his cache a his notoriety is
Based on him being a bit of a hard man, whereas you don't have that. Yeah
As far as to say that you shy that you sort of
You're part of your kind of thing is to undermine that a little bit. You know me is it so yeah, of course Yeah, so I think it's gonna be and I think he's got an element to him
That's quite insane at times when I watch his videos. Yeah
It wouldn't surprise me if he'd like midway through fight this fucking bit your neck or something. Yeah. Yeah, he's got that to him
Yeah, just like I don't think even that even though he's he's from honorable stock
I don't think he's necessarily be an honorable fighter at times. No, I think you don't think you
Stop, I don't think he's necessarily be an honorable fighter at times. No, I think you don't think you
Savagery rules. It's savagery. Yeah, if he was what if he was losing on points, I think he'd be really mean
Yeah, I do too. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I don't want to get into trash talk now I don't want to be like saying horrible things
What would you say what's often might you say if you're in a trash talk?
I'll be you know, I kill him with kindness. I'd just be lovely to I say grand Mitchell's one of my favorite characters ever
It's an absolute joy to share the ring with you
Even so little little do you know that that is sort of trash talk because you're suggesting
It's done nothing of any worth since being grand Mitchell and EastEnders. I wouldn't know
He's done other good stuff yeah, you know like what he did that he did that version of Scrooge Friday
I never watched that I get a deck letter
Well, I mean you put you were in that way
Jesus I was still working on building sites at that point
He was smashing that's when he was smashing it he's presented to you presents that game show now though, doesn't he? He can do nearly everything and he does it all at the same time.
He could literally walk from being Grant Mitchell in the morning to go and present a game show in the afternoon
to then go and shoot at Ross Kemp on Farsley, where he's going to be in the evening.
And he literally would just be like, that's the same. He just does the same thing. It's pretty amazing.
Why have they suggested, first of all,
did they, were they asking you because you are going to be,
are you going to be fighting in a missus fight?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I genuinely, I'm being honest, like,
they, I think they meant it in jest,
but I was, it was that thing where you sort of like,
you sit, I mean, you're at the boxing, you've been to the boxing, there's an adrenaline
fuel thing there.
I've boxed for a number of years.
I quite enjoy, I enjoy it as a fitness thing.
I quite enjoy a little spa.
And then I was thinking like, I haven't like, I haven't done that.
I haven't done anything in my life that's just, like all my football stories, all my
sporting stories are complete fucking embarrassment. I haven't got any of them that are cool. Like, you know, your
boys can look around and look at two fucking marathon medals and go, wow, fucking hell,
dad did that. That's, that's an incredible feat. Do you know what I mean? Like that's
amazing. You've done high rocks, right?
Yeah. But, but when we, we went out, so first of all, I phoned Lisa from the finish line, I don't think you'll mind me saying this.
I phoned her from just after the finish line.
And I was a little bit in motion,
towards the end of the race, I don't know if this,
I think I was close to fainting.
It felt like I was, because towards the end of it,
I started to get pins and needles across my face.
Were you using the mandrel electrolytes by the way?
Yeah, I was, yeah.
I was on the Mandrake, yeah.
Good, good.
I feel like you've not shot on the live TV interview.
Well you're not allowed,
specifically not allowed to do that.
Anyway.
How are they gonna stop you if it's live?
Look, if Mandrake wanna sponsor me on the next marathon,
I'll do a live marathon.
Wait, I've happily sponsored you.
I think you're exactly the sort of person
we're after sponsoring.
What does that mean? What does that mean? Because, can I just say this is the intent of what I'm
doing. I'm not about champions, I'm not about fucking people who are out to win, I'm about
people taking part. I'm about the person who isn't fucking signing up to be Anthony Joshua, Tyson
Fury or Alexander Ousek. It's not about your Cole Palmer's or your Sackers or your fucking
Celebers or your Jarabai.
It's about the guy who just gets up in the morning and wants to do a little bit better
than the other day before.
It's about the woman who goes, you know what, maybe I'll give that a chance.
How will I get the best version of myself?
I know, I'll get some electrolytes down there.
I'll get a little bit more protein.
It's about the taking part, not the winning.
And that's what we represent. What are we talking about, Manjul?
Which, by the way, as you know, I'm a huge fan of the Electrolytes.
Can I commend you on the sort of the branching out into being kind of a, I guess, what is Mandrill now also? It's like a comedy
content creator, isn't it? Sort of the little sketches and bits and pieces. And by the way,
if you're not following Mandrill, it's well worth checking out. Not only do they do sort of in the
moment kind of reality stuff, there's some like actual written sketches and things like that.
It really is, they really are pack. It's a place to go
Yeah, it is the place gate. I've not seen another brand that generates as much kind of just sort of
Mandarilla taken it I'd describe mandrelism They're taking a sideways glance at the world of supplements and protein shakes and stuff
And let me tell you, hilarity has ensued.
I particularly enjoyed the, when you're walking
around the shop looking for a mandrill toy.
Yeah, yeah.
I enjoyed the sketch about you speculating
on how much a mandrill weighs, that was good.
Yeah, which by the way now has become massive
because of this 100 man versus a gorilla thing.
I don't want you to get dragged into that
because I hate this shit.
Well let's have a chat about it,
because actually I had an argument about it yesterday.
I went out for a roast dinner with the lister and the boys.
And can I give a shout out to Heathy Farm in Crawley, great place.
However, I did, and can you just tell me what you think of this, right?
Go on, hit me up.
I walked in with the kids and this guy just sort of you saw
By the like as I walked in just sat like this
With his phone started filming me and taking photos of me and talk to his mates about how is me That's it. It's not me. Not is it in excuse or am I no I want to know the genuine
I'd love to know what people think is this that's that's a act. That's a act
Yes, it's all right. We are No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, You're a teacher you walk into a restaurant with your free children and your wife Right you just stay with your three kids and there's someone else follow just filming you a guy's just filming you and your three sons, right?
That's creepy as fuck
Tom Davis walks into a place. He's a scaffolding. You've got my daughter with me
I've had it and someone's filming me and grace gracious three. Someone's just filming us. That's fucking creepy
Well, whoever else Josh cafe if someone's filming you and you're with your children, right?
That's creepy as fuck and it shouldn't be acceptable
It doesn't matter whether you're a celebrity whether you're famous or they like you where they don't or whatever you do for a living
That isn't right. That's wrong
It's not cool and that sort of stuff and they like it happened to us the other week
I saw it and I'm like happened to us the other week I
saw it and I'm like what are you doing I hate it I think it's like coming out
for a picture I'll do a picture yeah but to film you if you when you have your
sons yeah anyway I put them front and center just a sort of a human shield and
then we wanted what did you say to the person I did I just gave him a look
first of all first of all I turned around because because of the truth is
And I just want to pay devil's advocate. He's not to know this right, but the truth is I will always say yes to somebody
If they want a photo always doesn't matter from with my do you know me because I get it
Do you mean I do totally get it, but I was slightly
You know I'd literally just I'd got back that morning from filming.
I was so excited to go, and then,
so I'm tired and you react in a bad way.
So I don't want to be like this,
that's why I'm asking, is this bad, what the guy was doing?
Cause part of me is like, who gives a shit?
Do you know what I mean?
The guy's just like, he's seen a comedian walk in.
He's just doing, he doesn't know,
he's not thinking in that way.
But also, anyone he shows that to, that footage, if he goes, Oh, I was in a Heathy
farm the other day.
Look at this.
That's me.
I'm filming Ramesh Ranganathan, his family walk into the restaurant.
I've just been filming them.
That's me filming them.
He didn't know I was there.
He's not going to believe this.
I was on Heathy farm the other day.
You're presenting it.
He's not going to go, I was at Heathy farm the other day.
Ramesh came with his family. look, I'll prove it to you.
And then he just shows the video.
He's not gonna be like wanking as he does it, is he?
Yeah, and anyone normal who knows him will go,
hold up, you filmed him.
You could have just told me that without fucking...
I didn't need evidence.
Romesh is always in Heathy Farm. He loves it there.
Okay. So anyway, we go in there, we're sat there,
we're having a nice time, really nice.
And then we come on to the topic of
the one man versus
100 men versus a gorilla, right?
Theo is so adamant to the point where
We start voices are raised at our table, right about this discussion. Okay now I'm gonna tell you how it breaks down
Charlie Okay, now I'm gonna tell you how it breaks down Charlie
Alex and myself Lisa abstained from this but then
Then fell into with us believed that the gorilla would die the hundred men would win Theo
Not only does he believe the gorilla would win in that scenario
Proceeded to tell me that he was losing respect for us
It's just like in our levels of intelligent of intelligence because we thought the 100 men would win.
My question to you Tom Davis is, 100 men versus a gorilla, what's your take?
So the men are unarmed right?
Correct.
Have you ever seen a gorilla, and we're talking by the way, we're not talking about those
lady gorillas.
Sounds so much like Theo now.
Well, you know, it's not a trained gorilla, okay?
It's an average gorilla, all right?
It's not an average gorilla. You're not putting an average gorilla.
If you've got the pack and the word comes into the fucking...
Like, the pack and someone goes,
-"Oh, we've got to send that best man to fuck." -"Tom, Tom, Tom."
It's not fucking Planet of the Apes.
Like, just... It's not...
It is Planet of the Apes.
There's no backstory.
The scenario is, 100 men, a gorilla. There's no back story. This scenario
Fetters around and go. Oh who's gonna fit? I'll get that foul second shit in the corner. Okay
Yeah a gorilla and its prime. I was able away when we went for the manager expedition
Right and we went to the to this zoo, right?
There's quite a few lazy looking gorillas there look like the best is behind him And in that case, I'd go 100 fucking ape men would probably beat this gorilla.
Right, we're talking about one that's been out in the wild, and it's had to like get by
of its own accord, right?
Gorilla from the wild, yes, correct.
Okay, right. So it was probably ripped to shit. It's probably a big strong gorilla, right?
And then the hundred men, what are we talking?
We're talking we're picking the best hundred men on this planet
Or is it just an average?
Best you're not picking UFC fires, but I'd say you're picking a
hundred men who are
Physically, you know physically fit they do crossfit. Let's say all right if it's crossfit as the grillers got it all day
Well, whatever I don't know.
Do you know what I mean?
They're not sedentary is the point I'm trying to make.
So what we're saying, a gorilla,
let me just get this out.
I'm going to get the world's strongest gorilla, what's his sizing?
Why is it the, why are you getting the world's,
you don't need to look at the world's strongest gorilla.
Right, okay.
So what we're putting in, average gorilla sizing.
Yeah. All of this
happened at the meal yesterday by the way, these kind of googles. Oh fuck it, it's only
5.5. That's shorter than Rob Beckett isn't it? Yeah, I mean it's weird that that's your
metric but yeah, shorter than Rob Beckett. It can weigh up to 205 kilograms, so it's small and it's strong.
Okay.
Dense muscle.
Man, they've got fucking, they've got two,
their arms can reach 2.6 meters, right?
Yeah.
That's big.
My thing is, right, that is such a dense muscle mass.
Men running in and punching the gorilla, right? There's no weapons and they're punching it, right? That is such a dense muscle mass. Men running in and punching the gorilla, right?
There's no weapons and they're punching it, right? The gorilla, one swipe from the gorilla,
one grab of the throat. Yeah, let's just say he's had a couple of fights in his life up
against other gorillas and it's won. It knows its way around a fight. I'm telling you now,
I do think that the gorilla might have it.
Against a hundred people. Yeah, I'm just a hundred a hundred people. I'm just sat wrong, right?
I'm saying one hundred people Tom wrong. Can I just say they come flying towards it, right?
You've got people coming front on right those arms are swiping right? You're gonna be taking out 10 15 people a time
Right, it's a couple behind
You're gonna be taking out 10 15 people a time right it's behind
So if you saw the side of the grizzly take out 10 people
Well, just to put into context that arm span right is the size of me the length of yeah, they're short So they're stocking they've got themselves down like that and they're bobbing and weaving bang
They take outside with that arm bang with that arm you come from behind. They're gonna turn around
This is what I understand about both you and Theo's do is you think while the gorillas taking out these people the other people are just gonna be waiting patiently for their turn
Like a shit martial arts film everyone is bundling the fuck out this gorilla immediately, right? Yeah. Yes. I'm sure people
Are gonna get it. Yeah, I get it. Well, I get that I understand what you're saying
I don't think you say what I don't hang your head just jump on top of him. Right? He's not having that
It's not his choice he's having a
He's having his wall should be throwing people off breaking legs breaking arms. I'm sure there's gonna be some casualties
But I'm telling you a hundred people you're gonna be he's gonna get knackered
You could like are you joking? I'm telling you, 100 people. He's gonna get knackered.
Are you joking? Mate, he runs a marathon every day
just to get his breakfast.
Okay, they're vegetarian.
Tom, I've been with gorillas, right?
I went to Rwanda.
They do fucking food everywhere.
They're vegetarian.
They're not hunting.
You're saying that he will literally lose on the fact that he hasn't got any fitness?
No, he's got fitness.
That's a sad sight of affairs for that family of guerrillas everywhere.
No, Tom, he's got fitness.
Also, by the way, if he's worried about this fight and he's one sister, you've got this
big fight coming up against 100 men, you'd like to think he'd get a bit of training in.
Tom, it's not organised like a misfits fight.
It's basically 100 men just fucking and a gorilla face off bam
So I say by the way, then if a hundred men walk into his natural habitat, he's got his family. Yeah, you know
Shame on every one of those guys by the way fuck. I was shame on them, but he will defend himself
Honorably, I'm sure
himself honorably I'm sure
Guys could I just stop a second? I realised that this
how fucking dare you
this guy was just bowling about minding his own business
a hundred of you
have governed together to kick the fuck out of him
what do you think here's a question for you mind your own business. A hundred of you have gathered together to kick the fuck out of him.
What can you think? Here's a question for you. What if it was? What about 100 versus two gorillas?
Okay. There we go. I think that's the better. I actually think that's better than the one, you know.
Two gorillas, mate, you're fucked. I don't know if you say they could take on 500 people. Well, the problem is now you've got, if if they're back to back you've got yourself a situation now. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? That is very
difficult to catch them off guard. I'd say four gorillas strapped together
invincible. It's hard to get one. Yeah it's hard to get one because they're
constant if you watch gorillas even the lazy ones they're constantly at it.
They're like a bloke who's sitting in the corner of a pub who's on a load of
coke. Yeah. It's like that. They're looking around everywhere. They're like a bloke who's sitting in the corner of a pub who's on a load of coke. It's like that. They're looking around everywhere.
Yeah, yeah. Here's a question for you.
What do you think has better chance against a gorilla?
Alright. 100 Tom Davises or 100 Ramesh Ranganathans?
What do you think?
Oh, that's tough.
I mean, I'd say I'd probably have a little bit more fight training, but also I would say
that I think you are a lot more, you'd be a lot more logistical.
You've also got a lot more fitness about you.
So you're 100 versions, 100 clients of you are going to be a fitter than me.
Okay guys, now listen, we might not be physically, we might not be physically adept,
but what we have got is ability to coordinate
and think very carefully about this.
Remember, you're in physically, you're in good shape.
You're fucking angry.
I think you'd be... I think the Robert Schragger-Mathens might do it.
Tom, I'm going to tell you this now.
I think you'd probably just go charge.
No chance.
Tom Davises have got this down. I don't even think it's actually a discussion.
I think 100 Tom Davises are so much better equipped to take on a grand. Here's a more realistic one,
100 Tom Davises versus 100 Ross Kemp, who do it? Now we've got a fucking discussion on our hands.
discussion on our hands. Ross Kemp just looks so like, yeah, it just looks like such a I've just had you know, I think I might have had my best idea ever gone. Genuinely ever on
the history of this podcast. Tell me. I've been looking around saying as a physical feat,
right? I think what it could be is a WWE tag team match right me and you versus
Ross Kemp and Ian Bill first of all let me just unpackage how insulted I am by
that just needs a price just need to work my way through that what that says
about what you think about us relatively speaking what that means how you what your perception is of me as a
person no no it's not because of a matter you're saying I'm fucking
comedies Ian Bale and also the energy you do in your impressions of me is very Ian Bale.
Oh please don't leave.
I'm just saying, are you a similar stature to Ian Bale or is he shorter than you?
He's slightly shorter than me.
Okay.
But he's got a bit of a back.
Yeah, he's got a bit shorter than me.
Yeah, mate, he could be a nasty little fucker.
He's been through so much in his life. Yeah, it's me. He could be a nasty little fucker. Yeah, he's been through so much in his life
Yeah, right. Yeah, he's certainly not gonna he could be quite evil and nasty. Yeah
At the end of the match after he pins you just go
Yeah
What and Ross Kemp's doing that? Yeah, cuz you'd have bit, Ross Kemp would just literally have you like fucking smashed up against the side.
So hold on.
Is it me and you versus Ross Kemp and Ian Bell?
Yeah.
OK.
I thought it was me and Ian Bell versus you and Ross Kemp.
No, fucking hell, no.
It's not a pain to see that.
Jesus, that would be an annihilation.
Fucking Christ.
Oh, God.
It's an easy night's work.
Yeah. All right, all right.
Fucking hell, you're a cocky little wanker, aren't you?
No, just saying. Ross Kemp.
Ross Kemp would go to work with you both.
Yeah.
We'd have to deal with here a bit quick
and then we'd have to double-team Ross Kemp.
Yeah.
Right, Tomo, it's about that time, my brother.
What, guy?
Let's bring it home.
Yo. Success. Let me open that parcel. It's not what I thought it would look like. It's not how I thought it would feel. Sea success and winning
comes in many different shapes and forms. It can come from beating a fellow comic on
a marathon, an endurance race across the world's Great Sea. Or it can come from scoring a goal
against a rival. Hey, tape out on your chest and smash it in the top corner.
Just did, just won, feels great.
Can come from Harry Kane picking up his first trophy
in what seems like an amazing career full of amazing highs.
Just hit your peak, H, congratulations, friend.
But it'll also come in small moments.
It can come from making contact with an old
friend. How you doing buddy? Good. Thank you. See you soon. It can come from a nod to a stranger
then thinking that no one's noticed them. But somehow as you run down the train steps you do.
It can come from holding your shit together despite the curveballs life throws you. Hey, throw me an easier ball.
Champions weren't made by easier balls.
They were made from these.
And that's the thing about life.
Successes can be gauged from moments on television, fireworks and slaps on backs, smiling people
in celebration of a champion that I'll never meet.
And it can also come in small moments.
So I want each and every one of you today
to think about your day as it plans out.
Don't think about your failures.
Don't think about the trips on the curves
or the slips in a puddle.
Think about the moments you feel like you succeeded.
Think about the moments that you did something
you didn't know you could,
whether it's making an omelet or frying the chicken just perfect. Think about the moments that you did something you didn't know you could, whether it's making an omelette or frying the chicken just perfect.
Think about those moments and carry them forward in life and remember, yes sometimes we slip
and fall, but we always rise.
Really nice Tom, thank you so much.
They're beautiful.
And you know that one goes out to Robert Shrankenathan, my champion.
