Jamie Laing is basically a combination of white noise and a stress position. You need to have passed SAS selection just to be able to endure him.
He definitely loves the sound of his own voice.
The SAS guy is the only one that could bare a podcast with him,lol
@@theronin365 he has been around officers enough to tolerate the voice
@@samg7430 ok sport we got it, you apparently don't like officers.
Yes he is. Hes not my type. Ive met others who are fine to be around.
A good interviewer asks the question then shuts up and listens, they don't constantly interrupt.
You're right. And it also makes the interviewee rush their answers.
The guys is trying to be a radio host on a podcast
@@FJ24. You ask someone a question then you shut up and let them answer.
Agreed 👍...
Annoying as fuck
Most important part of communication is to listen. The interviewer needs to ask a question then allow the interviewee to answer.
‘Touching the Void’ involving climber Joe Simpson was not Everest or K2 but Mt Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. Excellent book by the way!
excellent book for sure, but SO hard to read ... so much pain ...
Went to see him speak at the Geog Soc in London. Hes was very good and on occasion very funny.
Correct. and well worth watching.
Excellent book and film
"Ain't ever gonna break my stride" was always playing in my head whilst tabbing 🤣 and still do on runs to this day.
Mine was, there she goes just a waking down the street. 😂
In "Touching the Void" it was "Brown Girl In The Ring (Tra Lala La La)" going round and round in his head.
The more you think about that self-motivation technique, the more you appreciate the difficulty of it. Being cold, dog-tired and in pain and having to push yourself on when you can quit at any time must be crushing!
Love this man Billy ,watched a few videos, I know I would love to have the mentality he has he's a LEGEND
Billy is an absolute legend. 👑🇬🇧 Support from NI
The blonde guy is so irritating, when your interviewing an ex sas soldier, cracking stupid jokes and trying to be the funniest man in the room isn’t the best idea, ask open questions and let him talk, you just kept laughing at your own jokes and nobody else was. That’s a sign. Also don’t have your face smushed up against the mic, there is no need for it. Rant over
100%agree mate how annoying was he.. Surely lives the sound of his own voice..
@@johnmac.6760 no even worse imagined being married to him how annoying would that be
@@simonriley7641 Hahaha. Yeah she'd bury him under the patio.. 👍👍😂
@@johnmac.6760 I was thinking more a prison cell but yea that works
He's like an even more annoying Russell Howard......
It blows my mind that even the best of the best fail the initial training. Just goes to show you how insanely difficult it is to make it into the SAS
Thing is they don't fail initial training...there is no training, that's why it's called SELECTION. A friend went through it, 1st evening 80 guys turned up, paired them up piggy-backing and ran them until half had given up, swopped them round until half the 2nd group had given up. Bang, within an hour 50% were out. If you make it through 2 years of this process, as Mr Billingham says, 7 out of 250 made it (less than 3%) from his selection group, you THEN start training. Truly THE ELITE of the THE ELITE. Agreed, truly mind- blowing.
@@davidgreen7849 "If you make it through 2 years of this process, as Mr Billingham says, 7 out of 250 made it (less than 3%) from his selection group, you THEN start training" - nonsense, UKSF (United Kingdom Special Forces) selection, no longer called SAS selection, is about 6 months long for SAS candidates, and a bit longer for SBS candidates. Part of selection DOES include training, so even in that initial 6 months training IS included. But even ignoring that, NO, selection is 6 months, then the training starts, NOT 2 years! To drive this home; Here's a breakdown of UKSF (SAS and SBS selection)... PHASE ONE 1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of *DAILY* mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an *unspecified* time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)... Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; *65* km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent). --------------- PHASE TWO 2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks. Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base. ---------------- PHASE THREE Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc. Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation. For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world. Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ. Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS. The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS. Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.
@@davidgreen7849 the process isnt 2 years btw its around 9 months I believe, you only spend 4 weeks in the Brecon beacons
It has to be relentless. Tier 1 squads have a 95% dropout rate
It's like all serious strength or athletica training. It's achieved incrementally through self motivation. I've squatted 360kgs in competition at 110kg bodyweight. I got there by myself.
Met Billy at Yarm the man is a legend
Best advice I was given was, there's nothing they're gonna ask of you today that you can't do. Just keep remembering that every day and you'll be fine.
You got that from sheriff of baghdad
You fokin rip off
did you cut the rope simon??
@@jameswood214 no but I would have
How very sensible Billy is, I'm 85 & have to say most of us with this attitude. So many young people these days are weak.
@bab ep3 I was raised during the war & I can assure you my generation was the last to be thought weak. We didn't have the constant luxury goods, easy money, holidays etc either did we have the attitude of wanting something now & not saving for it. By today's standards we really were poor whereas your considered poor if you don't have a TV, mobile phone, IPad & only go on holiday once a year. Check your facts.
@@Rumbletummy117 typical whingeing old timer. You clowns buikt the post war world that's led to all this bht as always it's not your fault. Can't wait till you've popped your clogs and we don't have to listen to the four Yorkshiremen routine anymore
Listening to that interviewer should replace waterboarding.
My Dad remembered the young Paratrooper that was Mark parading on Browning many decades ago. He said the DS put £10 in a pint glass or two that he’d go SAS. My Dad won a few years later.
@@UnashamedlyGodSquad What mate
@@rossl5908 whats he on about 🤣
Depot para 1991 - 1992 browning bks this bloke cpl billingham at the time was ruthless only wanted the best out of you though lot of respect for the man.
As an interviewer YOU talk way too much!
Always a little further. Respect.
same with the SASR in australia. theres no shouting no encouragement no nothing. its to keep the guys guessing, to put their mental off. best in the world.
physical fitness is only a small part of selection . most soldiers are already fit . it is the mental side that is the hardest . also most soldiers that go for selection are used to taking orders to do something . they want someone who can make decisions themselves . also work as a team . that isnt easy for most people . i am retired welsh guards and know a lot of bloody good men that went through selection . over 90% where rtu . the hardest parts are the the interegation and jungle training . if you get captured early you can spend a week in interegation . and the jungle training is horrendous . everything there wants to kill you . belize and brunei are not good . close on 100% humidity . believe me if you get that far you are special .
Definitely a big difference,because that motivation from others,even when illogical makes you lap everybody else.You gotta use your imagination.Like you’re chasing somebody as prey,then move on to another kill
Billy ya a top bloke. No doubt. But I sincerely believe, after jungle phase, after escape and evasion, after any interrogation, the hardest part is sat listening to that idiot. Fair play to ya Billy.
Cheers lads
That's how i got through my training lampost to lampost or tree to tree.
Every time we couldnt do pe at school arw teacher always put on touching the void I swear i could write out the script
Whilst on the treadmill I would look at the stop sign about 200 meteres away from me and have the goal of reaching it,would keep me going without thinking how much time I had spent running in the same place
Awesome.
Yes
For me, anything of value that I've achieved in life so far (not much) has come from self motivation. The proverbial stick only goes so far
It wasn't K2 or Everest it was Muswell Hill
Not Everest or k2,think it was suliue grande
Mark you are very taff man 👨👍
Self motivation to endure this!
30 secs in and the interviewer is already filling me with rage. Guess I've failed the test..
This is the first time I've seen Billy smile, it's terrifying
Touching the void is about nether k2 or Everest.. Maybe try some place in Patagonia 😬
Definitely everest or k2? Touching the void was fucking peru...
Siula Grande was the mountain.
Total respect Billy and wishing u well.Fmr 63sigsqn 22,👍🇬🇧🏵️
Is there a reason Ellen DeGeneres keeps talking?
LOL!!!!!
I was hoping to hear Billy but he didnt get much of a chance still i have his book and i still love Strickly come Dancing
Touching the void was about Siula Grande in the Andes. K2 is on the other side of the earth.
touching the void... K2?! Siula Grande dude. other than that bangin vid
Touching the void wasn’t K2 it was Siula Grande in the Andes.
The interviewer's incessant jibber jabber and clowning made me feel like I was being eaten alive by tiny ants
It was Sulle Grande they climbed in Touching the Void...not Everest or K2. South America. They weren't caught in a storm either. One broke his leg on the downclimb and his mate Simon had to cut the rope. Not convinced the blonde kid has actually read the book or seen the film.
Painful understatement 😂😂
By the Inch the challenge is a cinch..but by the yard it’s HARD!
its not K2 or Everest. somewhere in South America
Siula Grande in Peru.
Less talking, open questions.
Your true to your word marko SAS WHO DARES WINS 🇬🇧👍.
Ignore the pain accept the pain and elimante
God Save the Queen SAS 💪
Touching the void is not K2 or Everest. It's up a mountain in Peru. Carnt remember the name.
It was neither Everest or K2 it was a mountain in the Andes, South America.
I love "Billy" brains over brawn. I spent 17 years in the military as RAE. I only weigh 75kg and to finish a force march 15km with 35kg under 2hrs30min it's easy if your mindset is there. Your boots will have sweat marks to show we used to do that 3 times every year. However some will give up because the pain is to much and as an end result they let the team down they become a liability forever. HR puff in stuff is what I used to meme when in pain. Anyhow full respect Mark. 👍 One thing I love about Comrade's is we never 🐀 on each other. If you do that's punishable by.....
👊👍
Will do Bill good man mate. Cheers always Steve
Bill your my favourite mate. Kongs good. Ollie would be my secondary turmeric shane Warne.
Thats all well and good Billy..but would he have passed the 5 miler of death!! 😆 ( if you know, you know!)
I failed the selection... I only made it the 2.40min point, and couldn't take any more.
We will never surrender.
It was the Chilean Andes, not Everest or K2.
Only special guys
Rusty Firmin says Billy's numbers of 283 started and 7 finished, is not correct. He says more than that passes Billy's selecton. Maybe Billy means 17.
☝
How the SAS guy didn't punch the smirking generic gurning media pillock is well beyond me!
subtext: injuries
Who was interviewing who here??
The SAS is the largest Regiment in the British Army, every ex Squaddie I know was a part of the Regiment.
Are you sure about that?!
@@kylemcdougall10 amoeba
@@kylemcdougall10 He's being facetious. That term may also be lost on you. If so, look it up.
@@joehunter2804 Touché
0:48 I’m glad he actually admitted that the shouting / beasting part of the SAS show is just for the cameras. It doesn’t happen in real life, on real selection. Chris Ryan made a point of saying this in an interview he did - he was trying to slag the show off, saying that all the shouting and beasting is a load of crap etc. Well Billy has just said the same thing, so FU Chris Ryan 👊🏻
I would rather have him on my side than against me............!!!!!
It's a piece of piss but I was fit and ready for it. Winter selection 2005/06
Shut up
@@mikeoxlong3504 Do you want me to lie about my experience of selection? It was just a walk on the hills and an easy one at that.
Fuck sake let Billy Get a word in will ya !!!!
Whats a broken spleen?
why would you ask this on youtube?
Pretty sure your spleen is an organ not a bone. He probably meant spine so maybe the guy had some broken disks or something
Yeah, but,can I meet Captain Price?
i would do it in flip flops . DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM.
I was thrown out of the SAS for being to aggressive.
😂😂😂
@Sheev Palpatine No, I'm a bloke and yes I was joking. Actually women are now allowed into the SAS but I don't know if any one of them has been through the selection process and been "badged".
This guy giving the interview isn’t my cup of tea ☕️. He keeps telling silly little stories and butting in , why bother having a guest
283 died??
That is why weight training is so good, it is you or the weight. |You feel bad if you do not train. same thing.
I wish this clip involved more of Billy speaking and less of the host speaking!
me an indian teenage girl who lives in india and has no interest in joining army: aah yes very interesting video
Start a fight with a nun
2.22 What a load of utter crap. It happened in Peru.
Lol Ik ur brother well
Why do interviewers but in every other word?
Retired Unit lad 2002 to 2012 ….this interviewer is water boarding me again like S.E.R.E school
nobody gonna break my stride
P9
To think this guy’s family invented mcvitties biscuits
Just no
It's not selection it's the people that volunteer is the reason so many fail so early on, the unit I was with, there was a lad called kev marchant, he could pass a regular bft in no time so he taught he was good enough, I said kev you're know good at the mind game 20 mile shit, he called me a wanker, he was back the next week I said "I told you" ya wanker 😂 we both laughed I wasn't being nasty.
Anyone else think the blonde one is a bit sniffed up?
Ranting a bit? Check. Eyes bulging out like a traffic light? Check!
Over caffeinated I’d guess 😆
@P S true but the coffee cup kinda made me think..
This should be called metrosexual meets a man.
SAS he WHO DARES WINS🇬🇧👍.
The blonde dude is unbearable
blonde talks to much
25 seconds in and can’t carry on watching tha blonde guy so annoying
Guy needs to shut up and let him talk
One person here talks to much ,any guesses ?😊
Who is thar prat? Laughing and making a joke of a real man.
Just let Billy talk you annoying Rupert
Who is this Laing guy? What a complete knob.
