The Catflap Chats Podcast
204 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 months ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingWelcome to the Catflap Chats podcast. My name is Mikey, but lots call me Catflap, Flap, or Flapper, and I'm fortunate enough to call some pretty interesting people my mates - Professional sports, Rugby, Boxing, MMA, Football, Actors, Singers, and Business, in Wales and beyond.
I'm going to have a beer with a different mate each week, and delve in to their professional and personal lives. Expect some distinctly average chat, funny stories, and insights in behind the scenes.
Basically, I am absolutely winging this!

Episodes
Ep99 - Dan Chapman - World Champion BKB Bare Knuckle Boxer, missing out on London 2021, and giving back to the community
October 25, 2021 10:52 - 1 hour - 90.9 MBWhat a gent Dan is. When you think of the world of Bare Knuckle Boxing, you might think the film Snatch, or some underground shady types. Dan couldn't be more different. A horrific upbringing brought a desire to do better, be better, and help others. It just so happens he's hard as nails, as slick in the ring as they come, and is making the most of his talents and background, as the pro boxing game, and London 2012, was taken away from him. Thanks always Dragon Signs, Nathaniel Cars, Tiny...
Ep98 - Scott Young - Cardiff City FC Legend #CCFC #Bluebirds
October 18, 2021 10:53 - 1 hour - 87.3 MBLoved this with Scott Young - Cardiff debut as a teenager, and having to retire at 28. THAT goal against Leeds. An attempted come back at Newport County. Managing throughout the divisions in Wales, and that brief stint at Cardiff City with Gabbidon, before becoming the Assistant Manager. There's not much Scott hasn't seen or done in Welsh football, and it was great to have a laugh with him on the Pod! Thanks always Tiny Rebel Brewery, Dragon Signs, Nathaniel Car Sales, and Heatforce UK

Ep97 - Paul Stromberg - Convicted, Ex International Drug Smuggler
October 11, 2021 08:45 - 1 hour - 163 MBWhat a chat. I have never had a conversation like this. Drug Smuggling, both Hash and Cocaine. Over 14.5 years in Prison. Venezuela. Columbia. Portugal. The UK. The Cali Cartel (In Columbia). Getting caught. Being a transporter. It is honestly mind blowing, and that is only the stuff he's allowed to talk about. Thanks always Tiny Rebel Brewery, Nathaniel Cars, Dragon Signs and Heatforce UK
Ep96 - Zack George - UK's Fittest Man, Professional Crossfit Athlete, and Author
October 04, 2021 11:53 - 1 hour - 97.6 MBLoved the honesty from Zack. He may be a professional athlete now (and look like he was carved out of Handsome Granite), but has spent years growing up having a bad relationship with food, which is actually really relatable. He's risen to the top of the Crossfit community through grit, resilience and a determination based on his WHY, and after a disrupted 2020/21, I can't wait to see where he goes next! Thanks always Heatforce, Tiny Rebel, Nathaniel Cars and Dragon Signs.
Ep95 - Luke Rowe - Ineos Grenadiers (Formerly Team Sky), Cycling, & the Tour De France
September 27, 2021 10:11 - 1 hour - 104 MBOne of my favourite episodes. The ones where you're an hour in without realising, and could chat for way longer. Luke is superb, giving honest insight in to Team Sky, Ineos Grenadiers, life in the TDF and other Grand Tours. The brutal realities of professional cycling and more - All a few days before the UCI Worlds in Flanders, for Team GB. www.roweandking.com www.catflapchats.co.uk Thanks always Heatforce, Dragon Signs, Nathaniel Cars, & Tiny Rebel Brewery!
Ep94 - Dad the Dish - Cooking up a storm on Instagram/Tiktok, being homeless, and helping others
September 21, 2021 10:54 - 2 hours - 186 MBThis episode had every emotion going. Dad the Dish has spent the last year showing everyone how to cook amazing meals at home, with step by step guides on Instagram and Tiktok. It has gone that well, he's grown to 124k followers on Insta, 74k on Tiktok, and has helped loads of people in the community by giving back. That's incredible, for a guy who was once homeless as an adult and had nothing, and even now, continues to receive abuse on socials... Thanks always Dragon Signs, Heatforce,...
Ep93 - Rob Jones - British Lions, Wales Rugby, Swansea, Cardiff, Bristol and Western Province
September 06, 2021 16:36 - 1 hour - 84.8 MBGood to catch up with Rob, reflecting on a quality career. 2 Lions Series, 3 RWC's, and played with and against the best players in the world. One of only 5 Welsh scrum halves to reach the 50 cap mark, and even got a Lions Test start, before his first Lions tour...A Club career spanning 3 countries, with some great highs and lows too. A thanks always Heatforce, Dragon Signs, Nathaniel Car Sales, and Tiny Rebel Brewery!
Ep92 - Alaw Haf Pritchard - Only Fans, Law Degrees, and Internet Weirdo's
August 30, 2021 13:56 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBOnly Fans is something I get asked about a lot, so it was great to have Alaw on to discuss all things OF, especially as it has been in the news the past few weeks. She talks about some of the myths around it, what life is like as a content creator, dating whilst on OF, and the -ve's that come with the +ve's too. People and the internet are weird, that's for sure! www.catflapchats.com Thanks always Nathaniel Car Sales, Heatforce, Dragon Signs and Tiny Rebel Brewery

Ep91 - Nicky Robinson - Wales, Cardiff Rugby, Gloucester, Wasps, Bristol, Oyonnax (And even talk of the Lions)
August 23, 2021 11:27 - 1 hour - 117 MBLoved this one. Having met Nicky recently, he's a good bloke, and I can see why he was so popular with his former teams. An amazing club career, which never quite rewarded him with what I feel he deserved at international level, but no regrets all the same. Great attitude, took himself out of his comfort zone, and reaped the rewards away from the Welsh spotlight. Successful post career too, which is testament to his intelligence and character. Thanks always Heatforce UK, Dragon Signs, ...
Ep90 - Natalie Powell - Tokyo 2020 & Team GB in Judo
August 16, 2021 08:24 - 52 minutes - 72 MBI loved this chat, and so grateful to Natalie for coming on, so close after Tokyo 2020. Raw and emotional at times, coming to terms with a personally frustrating games, knowing she didn't achieve what she set out for. Some of the lessons she talks about in terms of being a girl and body weight etc are so important for athletes growing up. Personally, her career to date has been amazing, and I can't wait to see her back at the Commonwealth Games 2022, and who knows, maybe even the Paris Oly...
Ep89 - Thomas Matthews - Tokyo2020 Paralympics Table Tennis, and overcoming adversity
August 09, 2021 15:51 - 55 minutes - 75.7 MBI loved this episode. To overcome a bike accident that puts you in a wheelchair, and then head to Tokyo as an Olympian, is incredible. Honest and raw about the lows of life, and the highs of competing. I can't wait to see how Thomas and Team GB gets on! www.catflapchats.com Thanks always Dragon Signs, Heatforce, Nathaniel Cars, LT Scaffold and Tiny Rebel Brewery
Ep88 - #HerGameToo - A new campaign to fight the misogyny and discrimination against Women in Football
August 02, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBI noticed #HerGameToo trending on Twitter, and saw their video too. It made me think (coupled with what happened at the Euros final), what is it like for Women fans in Football Thought provoking, both inspiring and shocking in equal measures, I love the work Caz and the girls are doing, and the growing support from professionals in the game. I have an 8 year old daughter who loves footy, and if she was subjected to this, I would go mad. Thanks to our Partners; Dragon Signs, Heatforce...
Ep87 - Ebanie Bridges - Matchroom Boxer, causing a storm in Female Boxing

World Title fights. Breaking your ankle on debut, and winning. Selling dirty socks. Trusting no-one. Creating your own luck. UK fight fans. Resilience. Not judging a book by it's cover. I loved it, and can't wait to see her fight again in 2 weeks! Thanks always LT Scaffold and Tiny Rebel Brewery, and our new partners; Heatforce, and Nathaniel Cars

July 19, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 125 MBLoved this. A promising career at the Ospreys with approx 80 caps, & talks of a Welsh call up, all stopped by repeated concussions, affecting Ben's everyday life.

July 12, 2021 21:35 - 1 hour - 86.1 MBWhat a chat. Nicky is honest, and so relaxed about life, it's refreshing to see. What a career, playing for some of the biggest clubs in England, and also Wales, France and NZ. 4 Rugby World Cups, a heap of stories, playing with the likes of Serevi and CauCau, but it's the simple things in life he loves.

July 05, 2021 09:00 - 54 minutes - 75.3 MBUnreal chat with Mason. It's been a mixed start to his UFC career, but I loved how brutally honest he is about it all, and I have no doubt he will be a UFC world champion in time, after being a 2 weight Cage Warriors Champion.

Ep83 - George Kruis - Panasonic (Japan), Saracens, England, Lions
June 28, 2021 09:56 - 51 minutes - 70.9 MBGood to catch up with George after a successful first season out in Japan. Fascinating to hear his journey and thought process on leaving Saracens for Japan, and his desire to travel the world to gather experiences. He's sacrificed a lot to do that - comfort zones, relationships, England and maybe even Lions caps, but its great to see he's content with his decision, and happy how well it's gone. Catch us on all major Podcast platforms and catflapchats.com Thanks always LT Scaffold, J...

May 31, 2021 07:49 - 1 hour - 93.1 MBMost 22 year olds I knew growing up, wanted to live for the weekends, chase the opposite sex, and enjoy life... Rylee is very much focused on one thing - Being the best Goalkeeper in the world one day. The confidence is amazing.

Ep78 - Alix Popham - Early Onset Dementia, CTE, Head for Change, and a superb career in Rugby
May 24, 2021 11:40 - 57 minutes - 79.2 MBThis was both inspiring and informative. Alix is a fantastic bloke, and his positivity since revealing his condition, and the condition of others, has been unreal. It was a real pleasure to get to understand him, his story, but the changes he wants to see to make the game of Rugby (and other contact sports), safer for all, whilst making it more enjoyable to watch.

Ep76 - Leon Fricker - PGA EuroPro Golfer, FourFive CBD, and one of the coolest men in the game...
May 10, 2021 07:49 - 1 hour - 101 MBWhat a top bloke Leon is - Cutting his teeth in the pro game, and aiming to get on the European Tour this year, we spoke about life in Pro Golf away from the elite, and what it takes both physically and mentally, to keep earning each week. Despite the slog, he loves it, and is probably a bit different to your average Golfers. Thanks to FourFiveCBD for hooking the chat up, Leon is one of their Team Players! Thanks always Rume Barbershop, LT Scaffold, Ron Skinner & Sons, JBG Group, an...
Ep75 - Sarah Underwood - TikTok Star juggling home life, being a Dr, and dancing through lockdown
May 03, 2021 10:46 - 50 minutes - 69.4 MBLoved finding more about the TikTok world that Sarah joined in Lockdown 1. Dancing kept her sane during Lockdown, and she’s found a following over on TikTok, joining in various trends, challenges and Lip-Syncs, with over 328k followers on there now (@sarahjaneunderwood) It comes with its challenges though - Social pressures, trolls, opinions and keeping her daughter safe on there.

Ep74 - Rangi Chase - Man of Steel, Super League, NRL, England, and making amends in South Wales
April 26, 2021 08:58 - 1 hour - 116 MBIt's funny when you meet and chat with someone who's highlights reel you'd often chat about and try to emulate when you were still playing. Unbelievable player, who's rebuilding his reputation down in South Wales. Weirdly, we hardly spoke about rugby, but more about life, his highs and lows in equal measures, and how he's grown as a person through adversity. Will get Rangi on again to chat about the rugby side, the teams, and the funny stories at some point! catflapchats.com for our...
Ep73 - Sunil C Patel - The Student Loan Millionaire
April 19, 2021 13:20 - 1 hour - 108 MBWithout spoiling the rest, imagine going to Uni, just to take the £4000 Student loan, and use it to build a property portfolio... There's more to it, but what a mad story! Motivational speaking, business events, properties and investments, Sunil has made the best of what could have been a bad situation.

March 08, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.7 MBWhat a guy.

Here's a guy that played with broken bones and injuries for the red of Wales and Scarlets, learned the anthem, bought in to the culture & gave his absolute all at every chance. Now enjoying the culture & rugby that Japan has to offer, hi...
Ep66 - 'Dodge' Roger Woodall - Bournemouth 7s founder, and The Eventful Entrepreneur
March 01, 2021 10:30 - 59 minutes - 82.2 MBBrilliant chat with Dodge. People see the success of the Bournemouth 7s, but it's his back story that intrigued me.

She has done so much in her career across a heap of different sporting and media disciplines, and it's all fuelled by understanding her WHY!

Siti and I talk about being Fijian, moving to NZ, his electric pro career, the All Blacks, the Pacific Islanders, The Lions 05, RWC's 07 and 11, his move to Clermont and then Castre, and now his career on the coaching side of things. (Lee Byrne gets a few mentions too!) Humble, an astute thinker, and one of those guys who sees the plays before they happen. He takes everything in his stride, and it's easy to see why he was on...
Ep60 - Thomas Powell - Love Island, OnlyFans, Instagram, Business Owner, Crossfitter
January 18, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBBad Language! A funny chat. Louder than life and doesn't seem to care too much for random peoples opinions. But under that tattooed exterior, there's a heart and a soft side too! Love Island, dealing with the fall out and the loss of a loved one. Owning a nightclub in Zante. Social Media. Doing what scares you, using that as a focus to achieve your goals. Starting Only Fans, and everything that goes with it. Starting Crossfit and absolutely loving the training. This Ep had a bit of ever...
Ep59 - Lydia Hall - Professional Golfer & LET/LPGA Tour Winner
January 11, 2021 15:30 - 1 hour - 106 MBI LOVED this episode, partly because Lydia answered all those questions I had thought were stupid, so never asked! Great to learn more about professional golf, and what its like in the real world of being a pro, when you aren't Tiger Woods or Dustin Johnson...This is the side of golf we don't see. Interesting convos about Mens and Womens prizes funds, sponsorships and coverage, and some tips on being a better player, both mentally and physically. Thanks always Who Knows Wins, LT Scaff...
Ep58 - Ryan Jones - Ospreys, Wales, Lions. Charity, winning, and finding himself,
January 04, 2021 15:01 - 1 hour - 95 MBRecorded this just before Christmas, and it was not what I was expecting. Ryan opens up about wearing many masks, from the Macho Rugby one, to one now driven by a want to be the best role model possible, to those he cares about. This got deep, but in a relatable way, so much of what Ryan said resonated with my own life, and the many suits of armour I wear too. He's so much more than the Grand Slam and title winning captain, the warrior on the pitch, and the chubby kid from Newport! Than...
Ep57 - Jack 'Tank' Shore - Undefeated UFC fighter and former Cage Warriors Champion
December 28, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 86.6 MBRecorded just before Christmas, it's not every day you have a catch up with one of the hottest prospects in the UFC! I love Tank's work ethic, his confidence, his outlook on the negative things in life, and his desire to fight the best to be the best. He's been thrown in at the deep end, but seems to have some great people around him, and we can't wait to see what Tank brings to 2021, and hopefully a shot at the UFC title in 22/23. Thanks always Tiny Rebel, Who Knows Wins, and LT Scaffo...
Ep56 - Elma Smit - One of SA's leading Rugby and Cricket Broadcasters. Content, TV, Radio and Social Creator
December 21, 2020 19:06 - 1 hour - 113 MBLovely to catch up with Elma, fresh off the RWC2023 World Cup Draw and the World Series 10's in Bermuda. Growing up as a white, Afrikaans female, in a predominantly male dominated industry was interesting to listen to, and it goes to show that if you're a brilliant broadcaster and content creator, then you can achieve so much in the industry. We touch on SA Rugby, the Lions, Social Media, Trolls, and so much more! Thanks as always Who Knows Wins, LT Scaffold Services, and Tiny Rebel...
Ep55 - Ollie Phillips - Eng7s Captain, 4x World Record Holder, Business Owner, and all round good bloke!
December 14, 2020 18:40 - 1 hour - 123 MBLoved this chat, recorded over 2 sessions. Only known Ollie a short while, but his mindset and outlook is infectious. He's taken a lot of what he knew into a successful business career, but also had the character to know that a lot of what he thought made him a good captain/player, didn't always work in the real world either. His career both on and off the pitch has been brilliant, and his charity work continues to be record breaking - There's lessons in this that we can all use in variou...
Ep54 - Gary Lockett - Professional Boxing and MMA Coach, and former World Title Challenger
December 07, 2020 17:00 - 56 minutes - 78.1 MBWhen you think boxing, you may think of AJ, Matchroom, Eddie Hearn etc. What you don;t think of is the other side of boxing - Ticket Sales at Hall Shows. Boxers giving their all to earn a pittance as they build a rep. Trolls who will happily call boxers shit or quitters, having never boxed or stepped in to a ring. Such a refreshing chat with Gary about the state of boxing away from the bright lights, and hopefully there will be a part 2 too! Thanks always @WhoKnowsWins, LT Scaffold, ...
Ep53 - Ryan Evans - @RyanTheHolisticHealthCoach on Insta
November 30, 2020 19:17 - 1 hour - 109 MBThis was like therapy for me, the most honest I've ever spoken to someone on the pod. We chat healthy food, lifestyles, mindsets, tough upbringings, quitting porn, simple life hacks, gut health, body health, mind health, relationships, social media, lifestyle transformations, getting out in to nature, being addicted to our phones, the importance of water and plenty more. Huge thanks to David W Harris & Co Solicitors, Tiny Rebel Brewery, LT Scaffold and WHo Knows Wins
Ep52 - Josh Turnbull - Cardiff Blues, Scarlets and Wales Rugby
November 23, 2020 16:30 - 1 hour - 101 MBGreat chat with JT - He's a funny bloke and easy to see why he's a popular squad member whether that's at the Blues, the Scarlets before, or with Wales. Absolutely loves the gritty side of the game, and has a brilliant attitude to training, life, and coaching. He also loves the social side of the game - playing because he loves it, and playing harder after working hard... Thanks as always to Who Knows Wins, Tiny Rebel Brewery, David W Harris Solicitors and LT Scaffold Services.
