Tax Act knows filing taxes can be confusing, so we have live experts on hand who can help answer any questions you may have. Questions like, can I claim my SUV as my home office if I answer work emails in my car? If I adopted 12 dogs this year, can I list them as dependents?

It is a crazy sport. And at the end of the day, these young athletes, men and women are risking their lives for everyone's entertainment. And you should not have to pay to fight. It's the ones that set up the fake accounts.

**Eddie Hall** (0:40)
Yeah, that.

**John Fisher** (0:41)
I'll just say to them, I'm going to find your normal account and f*** it theirself every time.

**Eddie Hall** (0:45)
196 kilo, that is.

**John Fisher** (0:47)

**John Fisher** (1:33)
Thank you. Thank you, Eddie. You've bigged me up a little bit too much there, but.

**Eddie Hall** (1:37)
Not at all, John. It's a big intro for a big human being and a big presence or a big personality.

**John Fisher** (1:43)
I'm not as big as you, so I was pleased about that, because I knew I'd fit in these chairs, because many of podcasts or things I've had to do, I can't fit in the chairs.

**Eddie Hall** (1:50)
Yeah, so I got these chairs a few years back, and the most I've ever weighed is 430 pounds, which is like English terms, like just under 32 stone. And these are rated to 32 stone, so.

**John Fisher** (2:05)
Right, so. Should be, I'm alright, I'm below 32 stone.

**Eddie Hall** (2:08)
If it starts creaking and cracking, we know you're over 32 stone.

**John Fisher** (2:11)
I love this table as well.

**Eddie Hall** (2:12)
Yeah, thanks man. Yeah.

**John Fisher** (2:13)
Unbelievable table.

**Eddie Hall** (2:14)
And it's scratchily made, it's very nice. How are you doing?

**John Fisher** (2:17)
I'm all good, sir. I'm keeping busy, as always, but it's better to be busy than quiet, because we've been quiet before in life with business, so I'd much rather be worrying about how I'm going to do things than not doing, so we're keeping busy.

**Eddie Hall** (2:32)
And where have you come from today, John?

**John Fisher** (2:33)
I was in Exeter last night at a nightclub PA, Fever. Right. Johnny's old university town.

**Eddie Hall** (2:40)
Yeah.

**John Fisher** (2:40)
So whenever we go there, it's very, very busy. It was a busy, busy night. Got bed about three o'clock. Was it Essex, did you say? Exeter.

**Eddie Hall** (2:47)
Exeter? That's even further.

**John Fisher** (2:49)
Even further. I came from Essex last night to Exeter.

**Eddie Hall** (2:52)
Wow.

**John Fisher** (2:53)
Did the PA, few hours sleep, then straight back up here.

**Eddie Hall** (2:57)
Jeez, so you're busy. Always got something going on in your social media.

**John Fisher** (3:01)
I'm hoping I've got a day off tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can relax tomorrow.

**Eddie Hall** (3:05)
And where are you from, actually from, Essex?

**John Fisher** (3:07)
Romford.

**Eddie Hall** (3:08)
Romford, Essex.

**John Fisher** (3:09)
Gizio Park, Romford, Essex. Originally from East London, Stepney Green, but all I can remember really is Romford.

**Eddie Hall** (3:16)
Romford, and that's where the Romford Bowl Army.

**John Fisher** (3:18)
The Romford Bowl Army originates from, yes. So home of the brave.

**Eddie Hall** (3:22)
Home of the brave indeed.

**John Fisher** (3:23)
Have you ever been to Romford?

**Eddie Hall** (3:26)
I've been to Essex a fair few times. I don't know if I've been to Romford or not. How would I know?

**John Fisher** (3:31)
When people say Essex, Romford is actually in a London borough. We're a London borough of Havering, because they changed the boundaries a few years back. But by heart, we're still Essex, if you know what I mean. But we pay our taxes to Stig Kahn, so technically we're London.
