What a wonderfully articulate,genuine,loyal and funny man. The UK needs more Brendan McGirrs! ❤
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..
This is one of your most entertaining chats... What a good guy!
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
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 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.
The wendy house 😂 the half door finished me 😅
I was on the floor!!!! Brilliant!
Honest and Loyal to the end. Well done Brendan, done Dave proud 👍
Powerful. Good interview and needs a part 2.
Glad to see you changed the title of the episode Dodge. Thats a blinder top top man 💯🤝 not many would have changed the thumbnail and only cared for views. Top stuff Dodge

Really enjoyed this. didn't know what to expect but what a genuine bloke. Thanks both 👍
Thanks Dodge & Brendan. Looking forward to listening to this.
Yet another cracking podcast mate👍🏻 nice work
Wow, what a podcast! One of the best you’ve done Dodge. Brendan was as honest as they come and I loved the way he told his story of him and Dave Courtney. No doubt they were very close mates who admired and loved each other. I’ve always liked what I saw and heard from Dave Courtney and Brendan’s truthful account of him has, in my opinion, made him even more likeable. Again, big respect Dodge for your natural way of bringing out the honesty in people.
Had the pleasure of being introduced to Brendan in a social club outside Charlton fc before a game against Newcastle he is a top bloke , fantastic podcast dodge
They're lucky blokes, having each other as comedy partners through tough times.
I’ve listened to about 20-25 of your podcasts. This guy is a quality character with good vibes. There could be another podcasts worth of chat in him 👍🏼

Absolute quality 👍 Got to be a movie made. Dodge you get better with every episode I love the way these people open up to you with your calm demeanour. Brendan is a true friend not a wanna be gangster but a genuine man. There will be stories told for generations about Dave Courtney.
Gotta be the best one you've done Dodge. What a great pal Brendan was, absolutely top drawer.
Brilliant content pal D.C was an absolute gentleman I'll never forget meeting the man at one of his birthday parties in the Wag club still puts a smile on my face
Total quality this. Fair play to Brendan for being honest and funny.
Love your podcast's Dodge x
Great podcast dodge keep them coming
Brilliantly done
Good afternoon Dodge. I've only just seen this episode. Brendan is a proper fella, he has always been there for his best friend Dave. It was a nice episode to watch and I enjoyed it. Dodge it seems that proper fellas are thin on the ground now mate. I'm one of the lucky ones that have a cupel of proper friends that would be their for me or my family if we needed it. All the best mate. Cam.
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 🙏♥️
The real friend we want telling the world what we were actually like. Keep up these podcasts Dodge. 👍
Great interview well done 👍🏻
Wonderful interview, right from the heart. What a true gent Brendan is., full of laughs, and to be honest got me in a couple of place.. Thanks Dodge, well presented 👊

Another blinding one dodge love it pal keep it up
Dodge what a guy!!! Love your work pal
Keep it going love the podcast 👍
Brilliant interview.
Dodge you are on a whole other level with your podcast and people skills mate. You clearly make guests feel comfortable and able to talk freely. Most importantly you don't constantly interrupt your guests. So many podcast hosts are so full of themselves that they don't listen to guests, interrupt constantly as they wanna be the centre of attention and others that do the most low effort/low intelligence questions going. You are already doing fantastic mate and i guarantee that your numbers will only increase dramatically! Good luck with it!
Kind words Dave and really appreciate your feedback! Have a lovely day wherever you are in the world. Good man 👍🏼👍🏼
Dodge this was another great one .we need more Marcus redwood and we need an interview with Vic dark

Soooo many good clubs in London back then Spencer 🔥
Went to Camelot Castle in 2017 with a mutual friend of ours Spanner. Great night. Dave was a real gent Dodge. Best part of the night was Jenny on the decks in Dave's nightclub playing UK Garage and me the only one up dancing but loving life!!
Wow. This has to be one of the best sit downs you've done. It was good to hear another side of Dave. It would be good if you could get Jenny on aswell to hear here stories to. Keep it up Dodge

The wendy house story is hilarious! 😂😂😂😂 Love it!
Another good one dodge .Great Guest. Great subject. Funny and sad .
That's a real friend, great interview 👊😎
Loved this episode.
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
Bit of billy whizz makes an adhd mind sharp, I get it on script these days… another great one dodge. Sure Dave is having a party somewhere 🍻
Wow. How can you laugh and tear up at the same time listening to story. I just did. A friend any man would want. And a podcaster leagues above the rest.just brilliant.
Nice one Wayne 🙏
What a top man and friend Brendan is, speaks well and carries himself well, his love for Dave is clear for everyone to see. 🚑👊🏻 CB
A wonderful, wonderful story of love and loyalty
Best episode ever! What a nice man Brendan is .Dave would be proud of you x
