Chris and Robbie regularly meet people who put their achievements to shame, and that was very much the case when they spoke to Everan Oska who recently set an incredible running record in the UAE.   According to Evran he could go even faster if he got another chance! Wait until you hear how he got into ultra running in the first place, he makes it sound like we could all do it - there's hope for Chris' battle against the Dad bod yet. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris talks to one those annoying people who can seemingly do it all, they make a success of whatever they turn their hand to.  Step forward basketball great turned actor and producer turned environmentalist: Rick Fox.  As Chris found out, it's not luck or good fortune that has made Rick successful in so many fields, it's hard work and dedication. Speaking of hard work, strap yourself in for one of the greatest Kobe Bryant tributes we've ever heard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s Sir Tom Jones, need we say anymore?? OK, well this octogenarian thought he had done everything there was to do in the entertainment industry over the last seven decades. But he had never spoke to Chris McHardy…until now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tinder Swindler, Don’t F* With Cats and most recently American Nightmare, Felicity Morris has brought some of the most incredible true crime shows of recent years to Netflix. Our in house TC fanatic Chris couldn’t wait to speak to her, he kept her for way longer than we expected her to allow us, and the conversation is just incredible. From Felicity’s process, to the most shocking things she’s learnt in working on these stories, to the effect the content has on the production team. This is one of our favourite Big Interviews.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris finally managed to catch up with Kevin Ford after his story went viral last year.   Kevin is a brilliant man, a father of 4 daughters and grandad to three, he has never missed a day of work for 27 years and his life was turned on its head after a video was posted of him receiving a gift from management to acknowledge his service. Kevin's grace, humanity and humility is an example to us all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BONUS REVISIT! Hard to believe Robbie spoke to competitive eater James 'Webby' Web nearly a year ago. We are scratching our heads to figure out why we didn't post this at the time, but it's a great one and definitely worth the wait.   Since this chat Webby's been around the world, smashed countless competitive eating records, climbed up the international rankings and stepped up on stage once again with the unofficial GOAT Joey Chestnuts at Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. We will check in with him again for a catch up in the future.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris was granted an audience with a man who has been on our screens since the early 80s. Steve Harvey was brilliant, nothing more needs to be said!   Other than we hope he comes back to speak to all the Off Script gang in the studio soon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
