that I read out that I designate as the top three, they will get a bottle of Taliska 10-year-old.

My guest today is Jay Morton, who will all hopefully know as the Mole in the current series

of SAS Who Dares Wins.

We have a chat about his career in the Special Forces, his mountaineering work which has involved climbing Everest twice,

and what the outdoors does for him. I hope you enjoy it. Okay, hello everyone. Wild Tales Podcast from me Jason Fox. Today we've got Jay Morton who is, he goes by many names, number four, the mole,

DS, but now Jay Morton as well because he's a good friend of mine. Anyway, Jay was in the parachute regiment and in the SAS.

A little bit of background there. I was in the Royal Marines. Jay was a para.

There's not a lot of difference apart from they concentrate

and throwing themselves out planes. We do a little bit on the water. We wash, they don't, and it goes on from

there. There's a lot of respect between the Royal Marines and the Parras and I've got a lot of friends that are in the Parras.

That's where Jay started his military career, but what we're going to do first is we're going to go back to the beginning and you as a child, Jay Morton, what was he like?

Oh God I was probably a horrendous child. I think, uh, I think this like speaking to my

parents, I always had a smile on my face which I probably still do now.

Yeah, but yeah I grew up kind of working-class family.

Went to school from Preston the north some a northerner yeah and then kind of

school you know I always say kind of school didn't really work for me kind of didn't really work for me. Kind of didn't really enjoy working in classrooms and written work and listening to teachers.
