Stripping Off with Matt Haycox

I used to be the UK's biggest strip club owner. Today's guest spent years on the other side of the stage.

Ashley Edelman went from the army, to a drug dealer's spare room in Cornwall chasing stripping work, to a Britain's Got Talent audition that's racked up 88 million views. Then came the bodybuilding, a marriage that taught him more than he bargained for, and a party lifestyle he's lucky to have come out of. What happened next took him to a rainforest monastery in Thailand, a business built out of a bust-up in Dubai, and three hours in no man's land trying to get out when the drones hit.

Ever had a "life-changing" experience that changed sod all? Ashley reckons he knows why. We get into frog poison, toad venom and the spirituality crowd who wear it like a costume, and I ask him the questions you're all thinking. And yes, we talk porn. He's got his views. I've got mine, and I'm not giving it up.

Behind the fitness coach who's helped thousands of people transform their bodies is a man who battled bulimia in secret for over 30 years.

In this Naked Truth, Scott Harrison opens up about an eating disorder that started at 13, rooted in childhood bullying, and quietly followed him through marriage, fatherhood, and building a business that's changed thousands of lives - including relapses he's had even now. He lays out, without flinching, the full list of what shaped him: the bullying, the eating disorder, a divorce, and the loss of his son. Then the conversation turns, and Scott explains how the discipline he found in karate and boxing became the thing that put it all back together. Would he change any of it? He says no, because it's exactly what taught him to help everyone else find their way out.

Your £100 isn't worth £100 anymore and the official inflation figures aren't telling you the whole story.

In this Mic Drop, entrepreneur and financial advisor Spencer Lodge breaks down what actually causes inflation - and it's not Russia, and it's not supply chains. From living through Brazil's hyperinflation, where bread was repriced three times a day, to watching Argentina cut the value of his bank account in half overnight, Spencer explains why governments printing money is the real problem, why every country is just a badly run business, and why the UK can't take the one medicine that would fix it.

If your money's sitting in a bank account earning 2%, this is the wake-up call.

Most people confuse not caring with being fine. Jamie White thinks that's depression.

In this Naked Truth, Matt and Jamie trace the line between genuine resilience and putting a brave face on - moving from a real conversation about a friend who couldn't change, through Jamie's theory on what depression actually does when you let it run its course, to Matt's admission that two and a half years of legal battles and chronic illness probably tested that line more than he's let on. Jamie's conclusion: Matt hasn't just survived stress. He's been training for it his whole life. The question is whether that's genius or self-inflicted chaos - and whether any of it matters if the answer to "are you happy?" is still yes.

Most people discover Bitcoin through Reddit or a friend's investment tip. Daniel Pekic found it on the dark web - buying Xanax to come down from cocaine-laced parties. What started as an accidental transaction became a financial philosophy.

In this Naked Truth, Daniel traces the exact moment Bitcoin stopped being a number on a screen and became the cornerstone of how he protects his wealth, his freedom, and his future.
