We should all be so lucky to have a mate like Dave and Brendan
The wendy house story is hilarious! 😂😂😂😂 Love it!
Thanks for this, probably one of the best interviews that has been done!
WOW... One of the best and Honest pod casts I've seen says it how it is and was... fantastic Brendon & Dodge.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Was sad hearing certain close friends took selfies these people need to have a word with themselves 😢 legend is at peace God bless DC and All the family 👍🤝🙏🇬🇧✊
Loved this episode.
Part 2 soon
"he's not well is he" 😂😂😂
Amazing friendship. .. I’m from queens NYC so I’ve never heard the term “Wendy house” pert se, but I’ve raised a daughter so knew what it was by Brendan describing it.. unshaven, unkempt, with a head of wild man hair popping his head out the tiny window brought me to tears.. what a solid guy Brendan is..
The wendy house 😂 the half door finished me 😅
I was on the floor!!!! Brilliant!
This is one of your most entertaining chats... What a good guy!
What a wonderfully articulate,genuine,loyal and funny man. The UK needs more Brendan McGirrs! ❤
The Wendy House!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Another great interview, Dodge, and Brendan is a top bloke 💜 So moving to hear about his friendship with Dave, this interview has us both laughing and nearly crying!!! RIP Mr Courtney
Ministry changed his life ,
It fucking ruined mine lol 😂
They're lucky blokes, having each other as comedy partners through tough times.
Honest and Loyal to the end.
Well done Brendan, done Dave proud 👍
Loyal man, all the best in the future Brendan
What a beautiful podcast/interview refreshing to here of an amazing friendship among two proper men !!!
What a pod Dodge! 👏🏻 I started it at the bus stop on my way to work and was pi$$ing myself. I finished it walking home and had to have a word with myself as Brendan described Dave’s daughter saying her goodbyes! What a good mate he is and he can even tell a story like him. RIP Dave.
Probably my favourite podcast so far Dodge! You can really tell the friendship they had together was a real one! I could hear Dave's voice in some of those stories! Top guy Brendan!!
What grass walks into the Old Bailey and punches the bent copper in the court....... The man was proper as far as that accusation, people hate those that are staunch, especially when they ain't.... Because they haven't got the minerals to own their own faults and easier to deflect. He admitted all his failures, showed and owned pain with the love he lost... As in my opinion his heart was his greatest asset and was easy to spot when it was broken. Had the chance to go to a bbq at Camelot last year but I bottled it as I'm just a straight goer and very much like Brendan, laughs, loyalty and friendship and not hard etc.
Never been a wannabe villain or something I'm not but the reason why I had the upmost respect or appreciation of Mr Courtney......
His discriprion of the postman ending up a cocaine dealer, his description of selling water at raves...putting into perspective where the Krays would be today compared to then...... Etc etc etc.......
I'm 54, sounds a bit bent but thinking right now, I really miss his podcasts and social media presence tbh.
Againg deepest condolences to all family and friends and Mr Courtney, I banked alot of your wisdom so God bless 🙏♥️
He sold the shit out of that wendy house i am sat here thinking how much is a Wendy house with an up stairs i am nearly on e bay
Brendan loyal until the end and beyond. Love to all and kiss to Dave up high
Powerful. Good interview and needs a part 2.
I rarely comment on you tube. As much as i like your channel. But blimey. Legends , gardening club. And this fella is just the funniest. Im back at the Milk bar having the funniest time. X
Soooo many good clubs in London back then Spencer 🔥
RIP Dave Courtney. He had his critics & his haters, but who doesn’t
U can tell a good podcast by the time it lasted. Wendy manor funny as 😅. Well done dodge bringing us this podcast really enjoyed
Brilliant stuff Dodge! What a great fella Brendan is. Full respect to the man and what a great friend he was to Dave.

speed was none to rott ya bones horrible drug dodge sad to here dave was a likeble feller
It’s very annoying as human being having a chemical that makes you feel better or should I say good but on the other hand has horrible side affects! It’s a shame there is no legal happy pill out there for sincere people that can’t cope with life to then feel productive in there life
The Frog and Nightgown on the old Kent Road brings back memories from the early 90s .. also one in Vauxhall but can't remember the name of it as was always out of it when there 😂
The Dun Cow on old kent rd could tell some stories back in the day😎. So could "Sunny Side up" under the Vauxhall arches. We used to go for breakfast in Sunny side up. Great atmosphere, and the service was unbelievable. We used to bob and weave our way through the doors and find a table. Then we'd ask the bar staff or the doormen to recommend something from the menu. They couldn't have been more helpful and courteous. Within minutes, breakfast was delivered to our table with a friendly smile and a....
"enjoy yourselves fellas. And if you want anything else, don't hesitate to ask"
So there we were at 7am in the morning. Bottles of ice cold water...handful of E's to share between us.. spliff on the lip...and Anne Savage on the decks!
Best breakfast in London 😜🤩😊
@@jimmy66603then come out the Dun Cow closing time & had another hour in green Man opposite 😂
Dont forget avin a livener at samsons 😂@@jimmy66603
@@garyguest1885 I feel privileged to be the age I am. IMO, the early 80's to the late 90's were the golden years for pubs and clubs. Everyone off their nut and looking forward to a good night out. That's what drove me to keep turning up for work even if I felt like shit. Cos if I skipped a day off work, I wouldn't have the funds at the end of the week to do it all over again. It's all done and dusted now though. And it'll never be the same again. 31% of all the uk nightclubs closed down between 2020 - 2023, and more will follow. Same with boozers. They're dropping like flies. Boarded up, sold, demolished, and flats built on the site to house anyone that washes ashore in a dinghy down in Dover. My mates were born and bred on the old kent road. They could see the change coming, and wanted to get out. They moved to Maidstone. From Maidstone they moved to Brighton, and from Brighton they moved to Perth, Western Australia. They keep telling me they miss the old kent rd and London as a whole. They asked me if its changed as much as people say it has. My answer was short and sweet. I told them they wouldn't even recognise it.
Cherish your memories Gary. 🤝👍
@@jimmy66603 your spot on about the down fall in the uk its getting bad we are doomed
A wonderful, wonderful story of love and loyalty
WOW 🤩 THANKS GUYS 💯FANTASTIC EPISODE REALLY ENJOYED IT ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 I ended up in the Gas Club one Monday Morning after the Cross kings Cross ItWas a 90’s experience that’s for sure 💯
Dave is a legend 🖤 🇬🇧 for sure Great interview 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧
Really good stuff Rip Dave
Anyone who experienced the 90's rave scene were lucky bastards, quality E, i caught the back end of it in Brum, not that i can remember much about it, other than it turning me from a grumbling bar leaning people watcher, to an outgoing podium hogging blur of energy. Real special times.
Dodge, right interview mate! Brendan is a top fella, and this was a fantastic sit down between the pair of you 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice one Neil and glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼👍🏼
I always found Dave Courtney’s friend Seymour an interesting character. He would have a lot of untold stories I would imagine. Always wondered what happened to him
Still around but in very poor health
Best podcast I’ve ever listen to. Brendan explains his life and Dave’s life brilliantly, Dodge you are best interviewer in the game. Knock spots off of English in my opinion. I’d love to see you with a big following. 🎉

Brendan is a true friend not a wanna be gangster but a genuine man.
There will be stories told for generations about Dave Courtney.
Really enjoyed this dodge 👌 such a shame dave isnt here anymore.
I doubt you remember brendan but about 10/12 years ago there was an audience with Dave courtney in Birmingham and Carlton leech and cass penant were there too. And dave thought me and my missus were undercover old bill 😆 he realised he was wrong in the end and i got to meet him and got a photo but i was proper drunk by then. I've been a big fan of dave courtney since i read his first book back in about 2010 i just think the man is brilliant, only an idiot would believe the grassing rumours it's clear the man was a proper person a real one of a kind top top geezer. You were lucky to be best mates with him and he was lucky to have you as his best mate too,R.I.P and I'm sorry for your loss. He deserved to be a lot more famous than he was but when you naturally shine there are so many that it irritates the darkness of and they will do anything to try to bring you down. Respect to u for doing dave so proud
I always remember driving down to Alton Towers back thenand you passed by Frontier Land at Morcombe bay, Camelot you could see from the motorway and Blackpool which wasat that time an absolute S@"%e hole 😂😂😂
well done brendan you done yourself and dave proud god bless mate
Love Brendan proper funny decent bloke u can tell 🙌👏
Dave used to call me Sweaty Sock 😂 being from Scotland obviously, plus my names Dave, all he used to always say to me was manners cost nothing, imagine your mum turning round to you and saying 'Ohh David I'm so disappointed in you' never ever let your mum say that to you boy I'd rather do 10 years in the nick.
