Payno and Hask are joined by Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox to talk about joining the Marines as a 16-year old and then into the special forces, his struggles after his honourable discharge and how he got to be everyone’s favourite instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Foxy tells of Ben Foden impressing in the UK version of the show and of Sam Burgess’s amazing escape in the Australian version. We also hear an incredible story of Foxy meeting the Cartel and the Mexican marines – none of us barely took a breath! Oh, and if that wasn’t enough we find out the only celebrity that thankfully made Hask speechless!

Another fantastic episode ❤❤❤
I was in the Falklands war, in a shell scrape and at the bottom of Mt Harriet the day after the attack in 1982. Every few hours we were getting incoming from 105mm field guns from Stanley and the nearest round landed so close I could put my hand out of my shell scrape and put it in the crater. My oppo and I climbed out of our shell scrape and got in the grater the 105 had made with the logic they never land in the same place twice. The crater soon filled with ground water so we climbed back in the shell scrape. My poncho (put above the shell scrape for weather protection) the Milan firing post and an Argentinian helmet I had acquired all had shrapnel through them. Previous to that we had taken part in the attack on Harriet, fired our Milans at 0.5 Argentinian machine guns and taken them out. I was in the working parties that dealt with our own dead and wounded and then the Argentinian dead and wounded. I was looked down on by the gravs as I was anti/tank troop. Tinnitus has driven me mad all of my life and I have often woken in the night and have to get up to watch TV or listen to a podcast (thanks GBR) to help. I was officially diagnosed with noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus and it was recorded at a medical board in the 90s. Combat stress say I have PTSD but because I have no thoughts of suicide, do not take drugs, held down good jobs and curtailed my anger they say I need no help. Even though all this is on all my medical records they have always refused any liability or that having a ringing in your ears (and a 7 decibel drop over 5, 6 and 7htz) for 40 years is a problem in any way. I fully realise my hearing loss and tinnitus are much less worst injuries than many other wounds but a continuous ringing in my ears does drive me crazy. In fact I have such pent up anger about this I was unable to go to the Falklands reunion as I could not look the senior officers in the eye. I care not if you believe me and I have no interest in glorifying any of this.
As a British Armed Forces veteran myself I have nothing but utter respect for Foxy.
This for me has been the best interview yet – wow
Quality
