  • Mark Felix: The Strongman Who Defies Ageing

    Mark Felix: The Strongman Who Defies Ageing
    Feb 10 2026
    Mark Felix is one of the most extraordinary outliers in the history of strongman. Nearly 60 years old, still competing, still breaking records and still defying what most people believe the human body is capable of. In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie Hall sits down with the strongman legend known as “The Miracle Man” to unpack a life shaped by hardship, resilience and relentless movement. From humble beginnings born in Grenada and raised off the grid with no electricity or running water, Mark grew up hunting for food, climbing trees and building houses by hand before the age of 20. After spending 11 years living and working on cruise ships, Mark moved to the UK in his late 20s and didn’t even begin strongman until the age of 37. Despite that, he went on to compete at World’s Strongest Man a record 18 times, make multiple finals and become widely regarded as the greatest grip athlete the sport has ever seen. The conversation dives deep into Mark’s world records, his calm mindset under extreme pressure, his obsession with staying active and his simple but disciplined approach to diet, training and longevity. Eddie and Mark also explore why grip strength doesn’t fade with age, how movement is the real key to anti ageing and why Mark believes stress is the biggest killer of all.

  • Danny Mulligan: A New Deadlift World Record

    Danny Mulligan: A New Deadlift World Record
    Feb 3 2026
    In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie Hall sits down with Daniel Mulligan, the man who has just set a brutal new world record, deadlifting 70kg an astonishing 11,738 times in 24 hours. But this conversation goes far beyond the numbers. Raised as one of seven siblings in Nottingham, Daniel left school to work on the tools before following his true obsession, strength training and coaching. Known for his deep understanding of programming and endurance based strength, he explains why this record was never about ego and how months of isolated training pushed him mentally and physically further than anything he’d done before. Daniel opens up about why he chose this challenge, the friend battling cancer who gave the record real meaning, and why deadlifting for hours alone in a warehouse became a test of purpose rather than strength. He also shares controversial views on modern training methods, why endurance and repeatability matter more than max lifts for most people, and how the deadlift remains the most relatable and misunderstood lift in the gym. From Guinness World Records to coaching everyday lifters, this episode is about obsession, discipline and doing hard things when no one is watching. Learn more about your ad choices.

    James Haskell: 11 Surgeries Before 35 - The Real Cost of Rugby.
    Jan 27 2026
    James Haskell is one of the most recognisable and outspoken figures in British rugby, but behind the reputation is a story far more complex than most people realise. In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie Hall sits down with former England international and British & Irish Lion James Haskell to talk about the moments that shaped him, the mistakes that followed him for years and the mindset that helped him survive life in the spotlight. From his early days in rugby and the brutal reality of elite professional sport to the pressures of media scrutiny, public judgement and being written off before his career had even begun. James opens up about the infamous school scandal that followed him for decades, how the media narrative spiralled out of control and the toll it took on his family. He reflects on England success and failure, the importance of coaching and leadership, the relentless demands of professional rugby and the lessons he learned from being dropped, doubted and criticised at the highest level. The conversation also dives into life after rugby, navigating fame, reality TV, online abuse, fatherhood and reinventing himself through DJing and creative work. James speaks candidly about therapy, mental resilience and why learning what you can and cannot control has become one of the biggest lessons of his life. Learn more about your ad choices.

    In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie Hall sits down with Wim Hof, the man known around the world as The Iceman. Recorded after a morning of ice swimming and breathwork together, this is not just a conversation, it’s a live demonstration of what the human body and mind are capable of when pushed beyond comfort. Wim shares how cold exposure and controlled breathing can radically transform energy, strength, mental health and resilience, even into later life.
