    Shout Out Fight Podcast #155 - "A man and his Dog - Mr. Eddie Farrell"

    WELCOME TO 2026 PODCAST FRIENDS! ** again.... I am still trying to fix my audio issues, it's driving me NUTS!! but immediately after this podcast, I spent 3 hours getting to the bottom of it. since using a new program I have been having issues, BUT I AM CONFIDENT THAT IS NO LONGER - in this case it was a blessing in disguise as the echo in the first minute goes away once the audio frigged up.. I just ask for a lil patients. ON TO THE PODCAST Today I got to bring in the New Year with world Muay Thai champion, international coach & gym owner, Mr Eddie Farrell from Australia. If you follow Muay Thai on instagram - their's a good chance you know who Eddie is! Eddie has travelled all over the world fighting all styles of combat including Muay Thai, Lethwei, Kun Khmer and Karate Combat to name a few. Eddie and his family have lived the Muay Thai lifestyle fighting, training, coaching around the world including Australia (home), Thailand and Mexico. But recently has decided it time to plant roots again at home in Australia where he is building a new gym as I write this! We talk about how Eddie decided to around the world, the quick pivot needed when cov!d struck, the difficulty they had running a gym in Mexico and why it was time to go "home". Eddie also talks about having a few fights left in him before hanging up the gloves and getting set to close that chapter on his life. As this has been a popular topic on the podcast, it was refreshing to hear a fighter's fighter talk about it logically and from what it sounds like - being truly comfortable and ready to leave it behind him when it's time. I totally admit, Eddie is a big, scary, stoic looking fella - i wanted to ask him for a while now but was nervous. I grew a pair over the holidays to ask him, and Eddie was gracious enough to give me his time on New Years Day at 6:30am. DEFINITELY A STORY A LOT OF US WANTED TO HEAR! - I had a ton of requests to get Eddie on and we were able to make it happen. SHOUT OUT TO YOU EDDIE!!

    Shout Out Fight Podcast #152 "This is my only shot - Karate Combat fighter, Alex Krutskykh!"

    Hello Fight Friends! Today I get to chat with a man MADE for combat, Karate Combat contender Alexander Krutskykh! -- BEFORE WE START - I don't know what happened, but my Audio shut off 1 min in, so I sound like the guest today haha, oh well, we roll on anyway! I have seen Alex online with his social media, I have seen him fight live on Karate Combat, I met him at the Anuwat Kaewsamrit at my gym - so I figured, "let's chat to him now and get a podcast going!" and here we are! Alex is originally from the Ukraine, so naturally I wanted to know #1 what was it like moving to Canada from so far away, and #2 - Ukraine is well known for it's excellence in combat sports, what was it like going from combat sports every weekend to having to go find competition in Canada. OF COURSE I was very curious about his new home for violence, Karate Combat - but Alex tells an AWESOME story about how he had his 1 shot to prove his worth to the President of Karate Combat, and the conclusion of that "try out", AND having to go an extra round in a fight with a plan to win and propose to his girlfriend at the end of that tilt with gear still on, in front of the whole crowd - WHAT PRESSURE!! haha Some people are teachers, some people are cooks. And some people are simply born for combat - Alex is one of those warriors! it was awesome to hear his journey from Ukraine to Canada and his climb from boxing, Muay Thai BJJ and karate to one of the most entertaining combat promotions out there - Karate Combat! GREAT CHAT WITH A HUMBLE WARRIOR - SHOUT OUT TO YOU ALEX!!

    Shout Out Fight Podcast #151 "Canadian Muay Thai machine, fighting on the Thailand scene - Stefan Dronjak!"

    Hello Fighty Friends - HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today on the podcast, we have Canadian/Serbian - who lives/trains in Thailand - who's joining us from Dubai at the moment - Mr, Stefan Dronjak! Stefan became the talk of the Muay Thai town a while ago when his picture/video went viral where he was cut on the head in a fight on the RWS, AND HIS ENTIRE BODY WAS RED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, AND STILL HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE LIKE HE WAS CHRISTIAN BALE FROM AMERICAN PSYCHO!! - now, maybe that's not the way you want to be known/recognized, But if that's how people START to recognize you and that recognition lends to some more/better opportunities along with being a little better known - GOOD! and it sounds like Stefan is gabbing that opportunity with both hands! This was a unique podcast if I must say - for the most part, I've talked to Canadians who spent a little time in Thailand, or people in Thailand who are from abroad. But I don't get to talk to people who are Canadian, fighting on the Thailand scene and don't know much about the Canadian scene. So, I think Stefan has a one-of-a-kind perspective on this, so I asked him about his thoughts on the Canadian scene from his point of view? We also talk how he found Muay Thai and MAS Thaiboxing and his loyalty to the gym and trainer/mentor Chris Kew, why he felt he needed to leave Canada and pursue Muay Thai in Thailand, what it's like training at the legendary Kaewsamrit under some of the best trainers and fighters on the planet. and of course, his NON STOP itchy knuckles and a rule set he'd LOVE to try out! (HINT: 4 oz) Such an easy guy to talk with who loves life just as much as he loves Muay Thai... AND GETTING AFTER IT! Shout Out to you Stefan! glad we were able to make this happen!

    Shout Out Fight Podcast #150 "talkin' shop with the #1 rated Muay Thai podcast - Jonathan Puu'u from the Puu'u Muay Thai Podcast!"

    Hello again Fight Friends! A few months ago, a Shout Out fan sent me a screen shot that the SHOUT OUT PODCAST was the #6 Muay Thai podcast in the entire universe!! so naturally, my next question was "well, who's #1?" well, that would be the Puu'u Muay Thai Podcast! by this point I was well aware of this podast AND I TOTALLY ADMIT - if you are doing something better than me, I take notice and see how I can improve myself and level up through their influence. In saying that, I absolutely noticed the Puu'u Muay Thai Podcast was definitely that podcast/content creator that I needed to take note! after a few comments and DM's - HERE WE ARE! a Muay Thai podcast on a Muay Thai podcast!!! Seeing as Jonathan and myself hold similar "titles" (Muay Thai men, gym owners, podcasters, fight coach, etc) this was a super easy and flowing conversation. Usually it feels like an interview - which is awesome, but sometimes it's nice to let your hair down a bit (or what I have left..) and just talk shop. We discuss how Jonathan found Muay Thai and did almost everything to keep the fighter lifestyle including ACTUALLY SELLING HIS BLOOD! NO JOKE! to teaching several locations at once, till it was time to open Puu'u Muay Thai. We also talk about the MANY things Jonathan does to not just be involved in Muay Thai, but to be a driving force in pushing and growing Muay Thai in the USA. We discuss the difficultly of running a gym and having to pivot daily during the cov!d era, the rise of the good and bad "content influencers" and of course - DOING A MUAY THAI PODCAST! A great talk with a fella who walks the walk. This was such an easy conversation we didn't talk fights - GREAT!! - because the leaves us to do another pod chatting about my favourite topic - FIGHTS!! SHOUT OUT TO YOU JONATHAN!
