He also has a podcast called “All Gains No Game,” which says, “The official podcast of fitness influencer duo Jacob Ward and Joel Kirby. The show where anything is possible.”

What did Joel say about joining? MLove the island?

Speaking about the type of Islander he will be, Joel said: “Hopefully a pretty cheeky one. I’m pretty impulsive. I speak before I think and clean up the mess afterwards… which is kind of funny. I’ll try to convince someone quickly, so you have to be loose and get straight to the point. It’s a good time for me to come in.”

What did Joel say about Casa Amor?

It’s clear that Joel has a plan for his time at the Casa Amor villa and is taking no prisoners. “I’m 100% going in to get what I want and achieve it,” he said in his introduction interview. “Uma seems really solid, I feel like we would get along.
