I've noticed that sometimes if you have your phones wifi on, some episodes come up unavailable. Try turning wifi off and use mobile data instead, that works for me.

Not a bad episode. They reckon if Murray could have gotten out of second gear, he’d have been running that jail in Cyprus.

I'm 45 minutes into the Murray interview and really enjoying it. Just about to talk about the Sturm fight, which for me, was one of Murray's best performances.

He not only gets listeners, but helps to retain them.

Anyone read Martin Murray's book? Meant to be a good read. Enjoyed the interview, certainly sounds like he bounced back after a turbulent start in life.

I warmed to him more than I have in any fight! When he said about jail “you know how it is, easy”, Tris said “I don’t “! That’s exactly how it is. If you’re not stupid.

Go a soft spot for Murray, very humble guy and seems the type to have your back in a time of need. His words about looking out for Oliver Harrison's lad as promised to his dad - Fair play.

Very honest about his losses, and isn't afraid to say the better man won.

Yep, ended up listening to it last night and this morning and I couldn't help but warm to him way more than I had during his actual career. Super honest, grounded and great to hear how he seems so content with what he achieved and life post-boxing.

Don't think he has (maybe one of the Vegas ones, as I only tend to listen to the British ones?), but it' a great idea.... if any of them will speak openly and honestly :TU:

Just listened to the Martin Murray interview - what an engaging character he is. He spends about 20 minutes reeling off a list of various crimes he’ committed as a young tear away but he tells his stories with such a dry wit and seems so genuinely remorseful that I found it impossible not to warm to him.

I’ve never noticed his charismatic side in any fight interviews I’ve seen, understandable if he’s got his serious head on then, so fair play to tris for bringing this entertaining side of him out here.

Murray and Smigga were great. In fact I’ve heard both are expected to make world title attempts on the back of their podcast success.
