The Man Cave 4301 Podcast

Ryan Gave up his school tennis dreams and joined the Australian Military straight out of school and with a long family history of servicemen it comes at no surprise. After deploying to Timor and changing profession to the Navy in a bizarre fashion only to exit just a few months later. He tried his hand at many different things after his service and has now found his calling with Pound For Pound Arm wrestling. His new mission is to gain more recognition for the sport and to get competitors paid the way athletes should be.

If you are interested in getting into the sport, go check out Pound for Pound Arm Wrestling on social media platforms YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitch.

All Josh wanted to do was come home in the same shape as he was when he started his shift as a security guard. When a fight erupted at work, Josh was beaten and stomped buy conflicting parties leaving him with significant injuries including PTSD. We go over the event and what issues he still deals with on a daily basis. Josh's partner Tiffany joined him to give her perspective on the events and to help Josh recall the moments after the event. In this day in age we see posters for ambulance workers, fire fighters and police with zero tolerance on violence toward them. Unfortunately, we don’t see the same for security guards. Being a security guard myself I couldn’t exclude Josh’s story from a Rifles and Sirens title because we go through all the same stuff.

To look at John Bailey, you wouldn’t expect to hear the story you are about to hear. John’s peers would regard him as a man’s man, strong, tough, steak eating bearded bloke. Witch is why when the words came out of his mouth that he was sexually abused as a child, they couldn’t fathom that this could have happened to him. Not only was he abused, but the person he confided in took full advantage of the situation and abused him also. 

John found incredible strength and went to the authorities about what he had gone through. Although he said it was tough, he had to do it to be able to move forward and successfully went to bring one of his abusers to justice. He is still finding the strength to face the other. 

I praise John for his cordage in bringing this story to us in a bid for others to do the same and break the silence. An incredible episode awaits. Thank you, John Bailey.

New relationships with his now wife and new born son and a new found relationship with his Ex partner has seen CJ take some massive leaps in his recovery and moving forward with his business, Soldiers of Fortune.

This episode is just 3 mates and myself catching up for a few brews and talk'en smack for a bit. It's a new excuse to be social without social media but you can see it on social media? WTF. If you are at the point of melting due to being a snowflake then I suggest you do not listen to this episode.

Sit back and enjoy 4 blokes laughing about world issues and not giving a fat rats backside.
