Happy new year Spy fans, and welcome to the first episode of 2021, the 50th official episode (not counting supplements and special episodes that is). This week, fellow Canadian and co-host of Another James Bond Podcast Korey Craft will be joining me to talk about an Essential Bond Skill that also falls into the #bond25fitnesschallenge : Climbing. 

One month after going live with David Zaritsky to talk the #bond25fitnesschallenge I'm back on the topic with Edgar Chaput of the James Bond Complex. He posts regularly with the hashtag so I've invited him on to talk nutrition and workout ethics! 

Happy Thanksgiving to my american friends out there and thank you all for the support you've given me in the last 2 years. I've got special messages from Matt and Edgar of the James Bond Complex, David Zaritsky, Joe Darlington, Bud West and Ray Kromphold for you all today! Keep listenting to the podcast I've got greatness lined up for year 3.

On this episode of Essential Bond Skills, we slip back to self defense and get an expert opinion from Cameron Cooper of United Defensive Tactics. Hes a Filipino Martial Arts instructor based in Ottawa with an online learning platform. Check it out at https://www.uniteddefensivetactics.com/

After a heated debate on the Gardener novel, here is the companion episode! This won't make sense if you don't follow the James Bond Complex. Go check out their episode first, and then come and give this a listen. 

Also, follow up this episode with a visit to Edward Biddulph's site.

This is a special tribute to my Grandfather, Joseph Wilfrid Randolph Benwell, who passed this year. He was one of the few Canadian WWII veterans left. Lest we forget. 

October is over, but the #bond25fitnesschallenge isn't! I may be cleansed of alcohol, but I'm nowhere near the weight I'd like to be. So time to talk psuedo science, and the next step!
