In this episode, we dive into the incredible life of John Wayne Parr, one of the most legendary figures in combat sports. A 10-time world champion and icon in Muay Thai and kickboxing, John Wayne Parr is described by podcasting phenomenon Joe Rogan as one of the "baddest dudes ever." As you'll hear, JWP's unbreakable determination, toughness, and unparalleled skill have cemented his place in combat sports history. Join Luke Darcy as he sits down with JWP to hear the inspiring story of a young Australian boy who trained in the brutal martial arts camps of Thailand, eventually becoming one of the most revered Westerners in the ancient sport of Muay Thai. It’s a remarkable tale of passion, grit, and mastery in the world of combat. Please note, the audio quality isn't as high as usual—John joins us live from outside his training gym, so we're all in for the full JWP experience!! John's journey is beautifully captured in his new book The Fighter: The Legendary Life of an Australian Champion, written by Jarrod Boyle. Watch this episode on 7Plus in Australia.

The DUFS is back! It's our annual “getting to know you” series, where Big Sam and Graham spend time with supporters of the newly promoted sides. Up first is Southampton with their buddy Ken (from Narnia) to talk about the quick promotion back to the Premier League. They get into the Saints new coach, players, tactics and life after JWP. The crew enjoyed more “gin binging” with Silent Pool from England with Q tonic water and Ken had a little Bibb & Tucker bourbon, a favorite of the show.   www.Dufootballshow.com   Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow YouTube @DUfootballshow Support the show and get extra content: https://www.patreon.com/dufootballshow www.DUdripshack.com
