This episode has made my day.

[@14percentviking]

I wish you'd interviewed Brendan before Dodge interviewed him. Dodge talked over him, and you just let him tell his story. Great job Liam mate

[@LiamTuffs]

@@14percentviking We always need to record a few episodes ahead, so we can guarantee a new podcast every week without fail and we never know if guests have been on other podcasts or when they were recorded, so it’s unavoidable at times, just know that if you see a guest on mine that you’ve also seen elsewhere, that mine will definitely be different - thanks for your support & feedback 🙏🏼

[@bjpgm1233]

Can u tag the video of him leaving the prison I can’t find it

[@bjpgm1233]

Should of asked him about his documentary

[@barrygyles2211]

Liam hit the nail on the head when he told Brendan “Every man needs a Brendan in his life”.Top man is Brendan and Liam you did an excellent job in bringing this interview to the world.

[@ianc9545]

Brendan has given probably the best heartfelt account of not only how Dave died but more importantly how Dave lived, somebody needs to make a film on Daves life for sure, a 10/10 interview guys...bravo.

[@smurfmonster]

I think everyone wishes they had a Bren in their lives. What an incredible friend.

[@rockytroiani4223]

Absolutely loved this podcast. Well done here Liam. This is Rocky who our Dave did the Father Christmas for all the sick children. So heartfelt and from laugher to tears all in all Brendan told this story with pure heart and yes we all need Brendan in our lives as what a true loyal sincere friend throughout. God bless Brendan we all love you for also keeping such a legacy so alive as we as we all have said will never see the likes of Dave ever again. Dave took his time to help bring smiles for those disabled and sick terminally ill children on that ice cold day and all he wanted to see was there smiles, that for me says alot about the heart of a man. I was blessed to of known him. God bless the family too his lovely mum love her heart and to you Brendan I love you my friend. ❤

[@rebeccaread143]

There was never a dull moment with Dave . He was the most funniest man I’ve ever known and loved. He was there for me when I was going through a rough time and phoned me if I needed anything. Sadly the last time I saw him was at Steve’s funeral and I think I knew then it would be my last. He didn’t look himself sadly but I’m glad he did what he did to end the pain I saw in his eyes. He was one in a million and I was privileged to know him and have him in my life . Brendan bless him has been so strong and I know Dave would want him to live a fantastic life as he did. ❤

[@beverleydlatham769]

What a brilliant interview. I didnt want it to end. Brendon's love for Dave seaps through every word and is so moving. They were so lucky to have that strong friendship that they did. I wish Brendon all the best in life and much happiness

[@thebaron1]

My brother and a few mates were having a Chinese after the pub in Sidcup. Dave, buster blood vessel and gary bushel were in there too. Dave had them over to his table for a drink. By brother said Dave was one of the funniest and nicest blokes you could meet. My brother could pass for dave from behind and my mate who was pissed, went into the toilet and thinking he saw my brother at the urinal, slapped his arse really hard. Dave turned around, and they both looked at each other shocked, they both pissed themselves laughing. Dave Invited them back to Camalot for a party! God bless him ❤😂

[@martynluigi6939]

This was a rollercoaster full of emotions. Literally started crying when Brendan was trying to keep it together. Proper friend.

[@UFCSTARS]

What a beautiful friendship, thank you for sharing your story Brendan and being such a loyal friend to Dave...lots of love from Liverpool, mate.

[@Champion-vo4bp]

Brendon was a true true friend. God bless you mate. You have earned your bed in heven. God bless you mate stay strong. Great podcast first one I've listened to for 3 hours. Great job 👏👍

[@leecodling]

Brendan is the friend you wish you had. What a Geezer! Liam thank you for being you proper caring 😎

[@Buttwonker]

Oh my God!!! This is the funniest, best and most enjoyable podcast I've ever watched, and I've watched hundreds. How lucky Dave and Brendan were to have each other as friends. A lot of laughs and loads of love between them. I've watched and read many things about Dave and always thought he seemed hilarious and a top man. Although I'd heard about Brendan, I'd never seen or heard him before this. What a great bloke, absolutely hilarious and such a loyal friend. Brilliant podcast Liam, keep up the great work, your interviewing technique is spot on, I'm loving them and your guests are top notch.

[@robholloway6955]

That's a powerful true friendship. Fair play to brendan. Honest podcast. And reality behind the fake glamor and books. Sad life of drink drugs and misery. RIP DC

[@jimtheyid]

If carlsberg done podcasts!!! Lovely way to finish the trilogy,and this Poxy world needs more blokes like Dave Courtney. Rest In Peace

[@PaulHolman-sh5ts]

First of all what a brilliant way you’ve got with your guests Liam .. easily the best podcaster out there .. secondly what a lovely loyal friend Brendon was to Dave .. I love the way he just says he left me a lot of love around him .. reading between the lines Brendon has had a few quid around him back in the day and it’s refreshing to hear him say a lot of things about life and love .. what a lovely genuine man .. all the best for the future

[@dan9700]

Honestly Liam your podcasts are the best on the internet, thank you for all your hard work

[@Aldous-w8f]

I am moved by this Conversation. I’ve always wanted to hear Brendan’s Stories of Dave. Absolutely balled my eyes out when he started choking up. Thank you both. Thank you Dave

[@salvatorejack6894]

Tears, laughter, huge sense of loyalty, honour, decency, and friendship from Brendan who clearly is a rare one, as was Dave! Warming to hear and best wishes going forward. Dave would be absolutely privileged with you mate. One of the best podcasts I’ve seen.

[@ConnorCody-qe4ef]

Great pod cast, what a good friend Brendon was to Dave courtney.love and loyalty are hard to find in many people today but Brendon had abundance of love and loyalty in his friendship with Dave Courtney...rest in peace Dave Courtney....

[@pjj177]

Could listen to Brendan for hours , comes across proper genuine 👍

[@tomthumb2062]

We might of lost Dave but we’ve gained Brendan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏻

[@JIMMYSAUNDERS-Experience]

Great interview Brendan, he will always be missed by his true friends Very much a father figure… He will always be the legend in my heart ♥️ The Loyalty between Brendan & Dave was the best Iv ever seen. R.I.P. Dave Xx

[@LUKEIIIUKIII]

What a friend Brian is. Wish I had one like this. How brave Dave and him where nearer the end. My friend died like this 3 years ago. Selfishly I want him around but he was hurting. Only now seeing that. Can't knock someone's choice how they go. Have to understand it. RIP Dave. What a character. Brilliant podcast too Liam 🎉

[@andyholmes2656]

Absolutely brilliant one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to! Made me laugh and cry.

[@LiamTuffs]

Glad you enjoyed and shared in the comments, it helps spread Brendan’s memories 🙏🏼

[@jimbog8397]

Great interview Liam. Brendan seems a lovely guy. Dave was lucky to have such a great mate.

[@cw7767]

This is gold. Pure gold. The best yet and I'd even say across the board.. this beats all podcasts, ever. From beginning to end, nailed it. Brotherhood is a powerful find in life. You both described it perfectly. 🎉

[@I-am-326]

Gotta say Liam, this was brilliant. What a great friend Brendan is to Dave. Love your style of interviewing Liam. Wish you all the best with your channel mate. From Ricky, down in East Sussex.

[@MissBehaving-im9vt]

Thank you Liam for this trilogy, this one just like Jens one has me in floods of tears, Dave was a once in a life time kind of person, Jens the same, and I'm truly honored I've witnessed and experienced my own story with them over the past 24 years, my life wouldn't have been as fulfilled as it has been if I hadn't of known them both. RIP the funniest, most brave LEGEND this world has ever seen. I love what you did in the last second of this vid too. You've outdone yourself with this. Thank you. ❤

[@ryanlee8601]

What a interview what a man RIP Dave Courtney and bless Brendan mcgirr 🙏 💙💙

[@jonathanb4118]

This is so far the best interview I've ever seen you do. Like a rollercoster, emotions up and down. But a really good feeling hearing their old memories, classical peeps. ❤

[@LiamTuffs]

What a lovely friendship they had 🙏🏼

[@JamieCovey-t2g]

Watch the Kurt norcross one , one of the best interviews I've ever seen but yeah this was brilliant. Brendans a top man , r.i.p dave , and mick norcross

[@soteriousecurity5555]

Well said, Dave has set the bar and I'm pleased that comment wasn't edited. Dave was my hero too and he went out like a legend x

[@dean.baldwin]

Honestly Liam. This was such an amazing interview with Brendan. I spent times laughing my head off and some close to tears for him. Was so great getting to find out about Dave Courtney in so many ways and I just didn't know what a great man he was and what a colourful life he led. Brendan is also a top top guy. 🙏

[@XcitingTimes]

I am usually too lazy to comment - but that is the GREATEST interview i have ever watched!!! It was funny/emotional and most importantly - a 100% true story!!! And at 3 and a half hours long - i thought i was only going to watch about 30 mins - i ended up watching the WHOLE thing from start to finish!!! This interview absolutely kept me hooked!!! Brendan defintely needs to come back for a part 2!!! Definetly sounds like he has a LOT more stories to tell. I never ever met Dave Courtney (i wish i had now!!!) even though i only live about 30 mins from his infamous "castle". South East London LEGEND!!! Big respect for the way he left this world. He must have been in so much pain before he went. RIP DAVE. BIG RESPECT to you Brendan and THANK YOU LIAM for this excellent interview - covering questions that so many of us have been wanting to ask, since Dave left us. CHEERS 😎 TO DAVE🍺🍺🍺

[@sscottwilsonn]

This was a great interview laughter crying anger sadness laughter it’s a real emotional rollercoaster tester this podcast man @thedozen really smashing it out the park easily the best interviewer on KZbin in uk at the moment 👍👍✊✊🇬🇧🇬🇧🙌🙌🙌🙌

I had the pleasure of meeting dave on a couple of occasions his was always a true gentleman. The Bond dave and brendon had is what i would call a true friendship dave would be very proud of brendon right now take my hat off to him

[@JadaCastellari]

That was a brilliant interview and am very grateful for it as someone that has followed Davea videos for a long time. God bless Daves family and friends 🙏 💪❤️

[@1977chopper]

What a podcast!… what a great interviewer Liam is and what a great man Brendan is….. we could all do with a True Friend like Brendan!

[@graemebutterworth6574]

Had to subscribe to your podcasts Liam after watching you on Terry Stone. Mate, you are an inspiration by refusing to allow your past experiences beat you down. Looking forward to working my way through your content. Don’t know if you are aware that your positivity over your past experiences inspire & make you a role model to help some of us to understand and deal with our own crap. Thx mate!

[@LiamTuffs]

Appreciate that, thank you 🙏🏼

[@diehard21000]

Hi Liam great stuff you are genuinely the best interviewer on KZbin,keep uo the great work. I know dave had another good friend called Seymour who had some great stories too who would be great to get on.

[@stevenspraggs4953]

fantastic as usual thanks Liam

[@stuartsmith-hutchon8356]

Very good interview. Bremdan was a true friend to Dave. RIP. Good memories.

[@DeborahWhittington-i4h]

Made me laugh and cry, thanks for sharing such a great story, I really enjoyed it, Dave Courtney really was a genuine legend, this podcast is one of those rare podcasts, that stays with you because you enjoy it so much, you don't want it to end, so I thankyou for that.

[@Correction294]

It’s a shame that the podcast market has become so saturated. It means we’re getting the likes of Brendan going from one podcast to the next and it’s repeated content. That being said, I’m a huge fan of the way Liam conducts his conversations and the enthusiasm he shows throughout. He comes across incredibly genuine and deserves success so I’ll undoubtedly continue to watch!

[@DMK-1745]

why? lol just give love. youropinion is a crumb in the ocean and needless, send him a private message and tell him dont put it on the comments for likes. just love bro thats all, just love

[@KelUK46]

I understand what you are saying but for me it's whoever is the interviewer that sets them apart. Liam & Terry from the criminal connection are the 2 that do it right. Love Liam's content, he is so invested, he's so emotionally present also.

[@sscottwilsonn]

@@KelUK46 Dodge interviewed him too and that was shorter but just as informative no need for negativity ✌️

[@Ryan-lc9ij]

Hardly repeated compared to dodge

[@G.E.MTFC_]

KZbin is really based on opinion. Everyone's counts ​@@DMK-1745

[@Blinkandyoullmissitpodcast]

I must say thoroughly enjoyed this podcast with Brendan & Liam. I had never met Dave Courtney so couldnt judge what people said about Him. I take people the way i meet Them face to face its so Easy to say things without knowing Them. Brendan was very open & funny about His friendship with Dave and seems a most loyal Friend. Thanks for the interview Liam Your getting Good at it and wish You all the Best for the Future. Love & Respect from Glasgow 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Howards2]

This podcast is my fav to watch and Brendan has made this one of my fav podcasts iv watched. He can tell a story that makes you picture it perfectly 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Wonky4925]

I've watched and listened to 1000 of podcasts, this is without a doubt, the best one yet. My family and I all come from Woolwich and Dave and Jen walkig around Woolwich town center. I've met Bren a few times, always says hello, shakes your han with a big smile. Such a wonderful podcast. Liam PLEASE have Bren on again, not so much about Dave but about his own life.

[@AP-hr5fr]

Brendan is unintentionally hilarious, although maybe intentionally. Had me in tears of laughter with some of his stories, especially the wendy house one with the bayliffs. Would be a happy man if all my mates had his sense of humour so can see why dave loved him. Great poscast

Brendon good luck to you mate, just started watching and you speak true to your word, I remember dave telling me about you taking your dad to the hospital and you had trouble were you parked the car and I remember there was like a concern when he got off the phone to you, like he wanted to help, little things that mate you see your real friends fillings that are of no cost just honour/love/respect, he thought the world of you mate, wish you nothing but good luck, ps always good podcast 👍

Was a postman for dave's road a few years ago when his book 'stop the ride' came out.He was always respectful and very funny.Trying to get you indoors for a beer or a puff.Came to the sorting office on his harley davidson,no crash helmet,shorts and a versace shirt.He wanted us to deliver his leaflets when he was running for London mayor.We gave the money to charity and a few of us delivered his leaflets for free.You are a true pal to dave brendan and should be very proud of yourself.

So sad Bren is the most loyal honest geezer you’ll get from one Digger driver to another ✊🥊🥊🇬🇧🤝🤝🙏🙏

[@FordPrefect-Earth]

This is one of the most surprisingly good interviews I've ever seen. I had never heard of Brendan and, as a vague impression from the title, I'd imagined a gangster/criminal-underworld person going on about crime and gangsterism... a logical conclusion. This podcast is an absolutely unique perspective and beyond fascinating/riveting. Thanks to the both of you. 👍

[@LiamTuffs]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
