The Grinder
Who's Tom & Dick
04/26/24 • 30 min
Well today is a very special day as we welcome our second celebrity guest World Champion Snooker Player Cliff Thorburn
Patrick and Martin have a great informal chat to Cliff who now lives back in Canada.
Clifford Charles Devlin Thorburn (born 16 January 1948) is a Canadian retired professional Snooker player, Nicknamed "The Grinder" because of his slow, determined style of play.
Cliff won the World Snooker Championship in 1980 defeating Alex Higgins 18–16 in the final.
He is generally recognised as the sport's first world champion from outside the United Kingdom and he remains the only world champion from the Americas. He was runner-up in two other world championships, losing 21–25 to John Spencer in the 1977 final and 6–18 to Steve Davis in the 1983 final.
At the 1983 tournament, Thorburn became the first player to make a maximum break of 147 in a World Championship match, achieving the feat in his second-round encounter with Terry Griffiths.
Ranked World Number one during the 1981 - 1982 season, Thorburn was the first non-British player to top the snooker world rankings. He won the Invitational Masters in 1983, 1985, and 1986, making him the first player to win the tournament three times and the first to retain the title.
Chris retired from the main professional tour in 1996. Inducted into Canada's Sporting Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Snooker Hall of Fame in 2014, he competed later in his career in Snooker Legends events and on the World Series tour, winning the 2018 Seniors Masters at the Crucible Theatre at age 70. He retired from competitive snooker after the 2022 seniors.

Who's Tom & Dick
04/03/25 • 34 min
Season 2, Episode 37
It's British summertime at long last and what a great week this has been for sunshine.
Today we have another special guest Jessica Baker who suffers from an Eating Disorder, Jessica now in her mid fifties has been struggling with this since she was nine years old.
Jessica tells us open and honestly how she has coped with this eating disorder over the years telling us her highs and lows, yo-yoing with her weight made it difficult at times to cope with her appearance, and how she felt inside.
Jessica is still today struggling with her illness today but does have the benefit of a very strong will and has come to terms with her illness and learnt how to manage her illness by understanding the situation she finds herself in.
Listen to this remarkable storey and learn sometimes what you see on the outside is very different sometimes to what is going on the inside of a person.
There are several types of eating disorders. The most common are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and other specified feeding and eating disorder (OSFED).
Behavioral symptoms of eating disorders may include:
- Restrictive eating.
- Eating a lot in a short amount of time.
- Avoiding food or certain foods.
- Forced vomiting after meals or laxative misuse.
- Compulsive exercising after meals.
- Frequent bathroom breaks after eating.
- Withdrawing from friends or social activities.
Trauma, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental health issues can increase the likelihood of an eating disorder. Dieting and starvation. Frequent dieting is a risk factor for an eating disorder, especially with weight that is constantly going up and down when getting on and off new diets.
Help and details for those suffering with eating disorders can found by visiting the website Beat (formerly Eating Disorders Association)

Episode 2 of Season 2 and the boys are already hot on the trail of celebrities.
This week Martin and Patrick are overwhelmed to be interviewing one of this Countries (UK) Mega-Star's Mr Jimmy Tarbuck OBE (Tarby).
Jimmy's first television show was "It's Tarbuck " on ITV in 1964, though he had been introduced on Sunday Night at the London Palladium in October 1963 by Sir Bruce Forsyth. He then replaced Forsyth as the last original host of the show from 1965 until it was axed in 1967. He has also hosted numerous quiz shows, including Winner takes all, Full Swing and Tarby's Fame game. In the early 1970s he hosted a variety show called Tarbuck's Luck on the BBC.
In the 1980s, he hosted similar Sunday night variety shows, Live from Her Majesty's, Live from the Piccadilly and finally Live from the Palladium.
He appeared on the fourth series of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing in but was forced to pull out due to high blood pressure, and needed surgery to fit 3 stents in his heart. In 2008, he returned to a variety format on television screens when he co-hosted, alongside Spice Girl's Emma Bunton an edition of ITV's variety show For One Night Only. He appeared on Piers Morgans Life Stories on 25 May 2012, while on 3 December that year he was invited to celebrate 100 years of the Royal Veriety Performance along with Bruce Forsyth, Ronnie Corbet and Des O'connor.
In February 2020, Jimmy revealed that, the day after his 80th birthday, he had been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.

Heart Charged
Who's Tom & Dick
12/06/24 • 31 min
It's already Episode 20 of Season 2 as we roll into winter 2024.
Again this week the boy's are lucky to have two Guests Bethany Keime and Charlie Kirkman, both have different heart conditions, Bathany and twin sister Hannah both suffer from Hypertropic Cardiomyopathy whilst Charlie has Arrhythmia.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which muscle tissues of the heart become thickened without an obvious cause. The parts of the heart most commonly affected are the interventricular septum and the ventricles.
This is is most often caused by abnormal genes in the heart muscle. These genes cause the walls of the heart chamber (left ventricle) to become thicker than normal. The thickened walls may become stiff and this can reduce the amount of blood taken in and pumped out to the body with each heartbeat.
How is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treated?
- Activity limits. ...
- Preventing dehydration. ...
- Medicines to treat shortness of breath and chest pain. ...
- Medicines to help prevent abnormal heart rhythms. ...
- Anticoagulants. ...
- Septal myectomy. ...
- Alcohol septal ablation. ...
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
An Arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, is a problem with the rhythm or rate of your heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm. It is normal for your heart rate to speed up during physical activity and to slow down while resting or sleeping but with Arrhythmia this can be irregular anytime.
While Arrhythmias can be a serious condition that can affect your health, there are also treatments available to help. By following a treatment plan and making heart healthy lifestyle changes, you can learn how to live with a cardiac arrhythmia.
In today's Interview Bethany & Charlie tell us openly and honestly about their conditions from diagnosis to how the deal with it today and in everyday life.
Bethany & sister Hannah are two remarkable twins who have taken this illness head on and realised there are others like themselves undiagnosed. Their experience as young teenagers soon discovered there was little information available and resorted to Google to explore their condition.
Social Media Patient Community did not exist, so Bethany & Hannah set about correcting this by starting their own Social media presence "Heart Charged" in hope to reach out to those with this condition and those still to be diagnosed.
They made us aware that as young women it was hard to get healthcare professionals to take them seriously with their health issues, simply sidelining them and saying "It's all part of growing up as a young Women" It wasn't until a member of the family discovered they had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that both Bethany & Hannah were then checked for this Condition.
These young women have gone from strength to strength and this is how they met Charlie through Their social media connections and recent success with the "Sudden Cardiac Art" Exhibition in the UK, now destined for Southern California.

Episode 40, wow where has this time gone.
Today the boy's go down the local boozer to meet a local man this week to give us an insight into the of physio.
Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future. It takes a holistic approach that involves the patient directly in their own care.
Physiotherapy is treatment to restore, maintain, and make the most of a patient's mobility, function, and well-being. Physiotherapy helps through physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health and fitness. Physiotherapists get you involved in your own recovery.
Local professional Physiotherapist Mr Tony Brightwell joins us as our guest this week and tells us about his career as a Professional Sports Injuries Physiotherapist working for Professional Sports clubs up and down the Country and even his trip abroard with the British Womens Football Team.
Tony, tells us about his training, his treatments, stories and thought process to Physio after medical procedures and hospital operations.
This is an interesting look into the world of Physiotherapy and why it should be taken very seriously in the recovery process of so many injuries including Stroke rehabilitation.
No joke of the week this week but there are one or two laughs along the way, Tony is retired now

Season 2, Episode 29
Another celebrity guest today as the boys sit down with the wonderful Lee Mack.
Lee Gordon McKillop was born 4 August 1968, known by his stage name Lee Mack, is an English comedian and actor and all round entertainer.
Another great interview with Lee where he is honest and and open and gives us a few exclusives about his life, his work and his close friendship with Sean lock and of course Bobby Ball.
Lee was born in Southport, Lancashire. He lived above a pub until he was 12, when his parents separated. He went to Birkdale Primary Junior School, Stanley High School in Southport, and Everton High School in Blackburn.
After leaving school, Lee worked in a bingo hall and as a stable boy. After working at the stable of racehorse trainer Ginger McCain in Southport for three days, he asked if he could ride one of the horses, to which the trainer agreed. Without realising, Lee then chose Red Rum as the first horse he would ride.
Lee then became a Bluecoat entertainer at Pontin's holiday resort at Hemsby in Norfolk.
Lee went on to have various other jobs, and performed his first "open mic" slot in 1994, while studying at Brunel University, from where he graduated with a degree in drama Within 18 months he was a full-time comedian.

From a very dark place
Who's Tom & Dick
10/11/24 • 51 min
Episode 12 Season 2
Another amazing guest joins the boy's and what a story he has to tell.
Life in the Armed forces
Suicide
Complex Greif
Adjustment Disorder
Complex PTSD
Trevor Bygate, 48, joins Martin and Patrick for an informal chat about his time in the Armed Forces and how he received the devastating news that his Daughter Chloe had taken her own life in 2014 when she was just 19.
It led to him being medically discharged with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and he has used the experience to educate others of mental health.
Trevor initially took several months off work, but it was not until 2019 that he was diagnosed with complex PTSD and medically discharged from the Army.
He is keen to express his gratitude to the Royal British Legion, which helped him in his recovery after he left the armed forces.
The charity, which provides financial, social and emotional support for those who are and have been in the armed forces, helped fund Chloe's funeral. He described its support as "first class".
Trevor tells us how he received the devastating news whilst away on duty, how the Army supported him through this trauma, what happened to his mental health and how he made it through to today.
Trevor now works as a mental health advocate for HM Revenue and Customs while also helping to give presentations on behalf of Papyrus (Parents' Association for the Prevention of Young Suicide) - a charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide of young people.
He is keen to break the stigma around mental health and show it is OK to talk about struggles, while educating others on the topic.
"I always say to myself, Chloe didn't die for nothing, she died for something and that's me making sure that this story gets out."
One of Trevors outlets during his grieving process was running, sport and completing 6 Marathons raising thousands for charity. This has driven him on to where he finds himself today and finds himself selected for 2025's Invictus games in Canada.
"This year is 10 years since the Invictus Games started, it's 10 years since Chloe died, and I got the phone call to tell me that I was selected on 7 June - which is her 30th birthday.
Trevor believes Chloe was looking down on him the day he found out he had been selected for the games.
This is a truly amazing story from such an inspirational man.
