Its all getting a bit slaptasticFirst we have the actions of Will Smith of late stepping up on the stage and asking Chris Rock in no uncertain terms to keep his wife’s (Jada) name out of……..well you probably know the rest of the sentence. Actions have consequences, especially when boundaries are crossed, but do they for the Rich and Famous. Comparisons are made to the comedian Dave Chappelle’s recent stage invasion when someone rugby tackled him to the floor.The outcome was very different, but should this be the case?What does this spell for the controversial comedian?Was that slap really about the joke or something much deeper?Can we tell if happy is happy, or just a happy show for the fans?Come on in whilst Ghazi and Will go drill on the actions, consequences and ideas of crossing boundaries. 

Ok that’s a bit of an over dramatic title, but then maybe that’s what this episode is about, drama in the courtroom.We are of course talking about the regrettable occurrence of the Johnny Depp Versus Amber Heard trial. It’s been going on for some time now and set to continue for a while so Ghazi and Will pick up the Drill and talk about some of the issues that come in toxic situations like these. Do we believe the accusations? Is it a circus show for the public?Could this have been managed better?What's the best possible outcome from this?Is it all hearsay, compound lack of foundation? (lawyer talk) 

What is this Metaverse?Does anyone know what the Metaverse is? No, I’m not sure they do yet, but it is coming that is for sure. Ghazi and Will ask a few probing questions and ponder a few concepts. There’s good, there’s bad and there's some big what ifs? Now we are not taking the point of knowledge of this particular topic (yet) but we are curious and want to raise some ideas for some future considerations of life and the Metaverse so feel free to reach out if you are in a position of knowing more than us we’d love to hear from you and learn. What we do know is change is inevitable and swimming against the flow of it will become tiresome. Listen in and let us know what you think

You’ve been FramedTechnology in the gym is useful and supports people’s training through things like listening to music and amazing podcasts like “The Big Drill”. However, where do we draw the line? It's become more normal to see people filming themselves or on FaceTime which can encroach on other people's privacy and sense of well-being in the gym environment. Another way in which phones can be used is to support the use of coaching apps to guide and structure training, however are they right for everyone and do they actually pose more of a risk for some people.Ghazi and Will take the drill and delve into these considerations with some recent examples of why it's so important. 

Will the Wise (no I don't mean the scrawny kid of off Stranger Things) is here to tell the tale of what he has been learning in lockdown. After the revelation of Ghazi overcoming his latest obstacles (mainly death), it was time this episode to find out what Will has been doing, the answer is trying to get wise. Find out in the episode what Will has been studying, learning and absorbing through the time in lockdown and what future topics may lay ahead. It's a short one but its punchy with some reflections on where the world may be heading. 

The return of the Great Ghazi Wow, well it's been some time since we touched base on The Big Drill and there has been a very good reason. Quite literally Ghazi almost died and has been on a journey of figuring out what has been going wrong with his body. From passing out, monitoring his heart and sending poop off to be examined in this return from the brink of death episode we find out what happened to Ghazi to halt the production of The Big Drill. Rest assured we are back. This is the first newly recorded episode with many more to come in this season as we return to the drill. --- Social Media ---The Big Drill: https://www.instagram.com/thebigdrill/Ghazi's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghazi.92/Will's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willhawkinscoaching/Ghazi's Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/janooobi--- Other Platforms ---Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4pev7P5vhK7FYH1ikC18PZApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-big-drill/id1482503220--- Music Used ---Music in Outro: Midnight Snack by Dj Quads: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/m...Music provided by Free Vibes: https://goo.gl/NkGhTg

Racism  The reality of Racism has been bought to the forefront of societies mind once again. It has never gone from society and has, despite movements in the past, survived in its covert insidious way.  With the most recent global movement against racism triggered in the overt way with the tragic death of George Floyd its right to bring the topic to The Big Drill.  As we always try to do on The Big Drill is bring pertinence to the podcast and in doing so we have Claudia on as a guest to bring her views, experiences and answer any questions Will or Ghazi have.  The historical events are considered with views on colonization, the actions of mobs, workplace racism and both Claudia and Ghazi’s personal experience. The understanding of the role society plays due to it being a capitalist system built on using commodities to make money is not left unchallenged as the three of us talk honestly and openly.  What can we do? Well there are some great ways which are addressed in the podcast. Some simple and straight forward and others more complex but just as important.  Below are a set of links to follow to help progress and maintain the momentum of the movement  https://twitter.com/eachotheruk/status/1268878364930080770?s=21https://www.change.org/p/govia-thameslink-justice-for-belly-mujinga?recruiter=false&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial&recruited_by_id=ffad40c0-a0c4-11ea-ac15-4118e05249bdhttps://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-amend-the-british-school-curriculum-to-teach-about-racism-and-british-history-336532f2-2294-45b4-9efa-8efdbfd72922https://www.instagram.com/p/CA8JTUcMm-f/?igshid=6z6qhkuq07tehttps://www.instagram.com/p/CA84SGtndrahh3UiXjw6KYvE-8VG5opyRolIrY0/?igshid=rv21smx0w1ihhttps://www.instagram.com/p/CA0CIEXg-Aq/?igshid=71x9cclvin5j

Here we go again drilling deep, it’s been a couple of weeks but Ghazi and Will have once again managed to get a guest onto the podcast.  We’ve been lucky enough to have on the podcast Eve Perry a feminist in a patriarchal world making positive changes and driving the progressive and forward ways of thinking.  As always Ghazi and Will have questions to reach an understanding from meaningful perspectives. Eve doesn’t fail to deliver with providing her approach to standing for equality within a world, which although is changing, doesn’t make it easy. In scenarios at work, friendship groups and dating we get the opportunity to see just how the dynamics work, they are shocking. From cat calling, radical feminism ways and blatant sexual assault with disregard to human rights we cover a lot in the podcast.  We all speak frankly and honestly in our opinions and some of Eve’s experiences aren’t for the faint hearted, but they are real and that’s what we need to hear.  As always reach out to Ghazi, Will or any of us our guests on The Big Drill  Drill Deep X 

This week’s episode goes drilling deep into sleep. Its one of the aspects of life that is so often overlooked when thinking about the health of an individual. Ghazi discusses about how easy it is for him to lay his head upon his pillow and fall deep into slumber whilst Will tosses and turns only having the bare minimum of sleep. This episode also looks at the surrounding reasons why we should strive for the magic 8 hours sleep and tries to piece together some research based ideas on how to get yourself relaxed and ready for that well needed beauty sleep if you struggle.Drill Deep and sleep well x
