The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 16 With Toots_Spilled_Ink - We Need To Talk About Kevin. The term “quality over quantity” applies to many things in life and that includes friendship.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 15 With Veronica Salt Teaser 1 The late great Glen Campbell once sang “Like a rhinestone cowboy, riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo” but if that song were to be covered by my next guest the lyrics would be “Like a rhinestone G-string, limping out of the club with my arse screaming NO NO NO!” Would it be a number one hit? Yes it would. So buckle up, get y...

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 14 With Kevin Brannigan "The Anaphylactic Shock Factor". “Glasgow has a reputation for being rough, dangerous and intimidating, all of which can be true. What isn’t spoken about enough is the heart that runs through the city and the people who live there. Our humour can be harsh and we laugh at things that shock other people but that all comes from growing up in a p...

We’ve all had a smoked sausage but not all of us have actually smoked a sausage. No I’m not talking about putting a sausage in a smoker I’m talking about actually smoking a sausage…like a hamlet or perhaps a cigarillo. I bet nine of you invite your scheme down to the shops to admire your new clobber either. No judgement, why would you? I know a gout who does though. He can also dance with 100% com...

We’ve all heard someone saying “There’s nothing worse than people not putting their weights back when they’re finished with them” but those people clearly haven’t been threatened with a gun halfway through a shoulder workout but my next guest has! He has also been berated for wandering along the motorway looking for a urinal but no guns were involved in that encounter just harsh words… Fresh from...

“California, New York, Chicago…Dundee. One of those places jumps out from the list right? A white rapper?…”Thats unusual” A white rapper from Dundee?… “Security remove this Jock from my big fancy London office immediately!” I’m paraphrasing of course but it’s not a million miles away from what actually happened to my next guest .Being laughed at during a life changing audition could understandably...

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 10 With Grado - 50 Shades of Grado. In a world of Giants, Rattlesnakes, Heartbreak Kids and Dead Men it’s not easy to become a star but my next guest chose to do something that most people wouldn’t dare to do…he chose to be himself.

Bagpipes were used in battle for centuries, Scottish Highland Regiments would use them to boost morale and intimidate enemies. A true weapon of war! Fast forward to the modern day and us Scots no longer run into battle wielding swords and daggers. We are no longer wrapped in the tartan of our clan but when we want to send shivers down spines and to be heard…the pipes lead the way. On the 24th and...

Victor Frankenstein wasn’t the only scientist to create a monster. I know a guy from Glasgow who built a travelling show that didn’t just grab the attention of the pro wrestling world… it changed it forever. Armed with an unlimited imagination and relentless determination, he brewed something so potent that everyone wanted a taste. When everyone else went right, he went left. Tore up the blueprint...

When people think of history’s most accomplished poets certain names spring to mind. Kipling, Poe, Wylde and of course Burns. Powerful words written and powerful words spoken but none as powerful as “I was like that pure mad hingin’ oot the back eh yer granny like that yas… I’m gonny pump yer Maw”. Willy Shakespeare wouldn’t last one round in a rap battle against my next guest… Neil “The Wee Man”...

30 years in entertainment equals 30 years of unbelievably funny stories and ridiculous encounters. Just when you think it canny get any more mental he swoops in with another belter!

He has interviewed Britney Spears, been heckled by W...

What gives you anxiety? Heights? Spiders? Commitment? Public speaking? Me? It’s getting a fright. And my next guest knows exactly how to hand those out. She went from being a shy kid who stayed quiet to hide a speech impediment, to becoming a full-blown horror film legend who’s basically made a career out of nearly giving me heart failure. She’s worked with Billy Connolly. She’s fought monsters in...

They say good things come in small packages, and my next guest proves that to me on a very regular basis. We first found each other in The Garage nightclub, right in the middle of the chaos of a sold-out wrestling show. We bonded there and then… a true love story, really. Little did I know — excuse the pun — that over a decade later he’d become my main and only supplier of little people erotica. L...

In my twenty-plus years as a professional wrestler, I’ve worked with my fair share of weirdos, chancers, and absolute characters. But my next guest took one look at that world and decided it wasn’t nearly weird enough… so he made nonsense his actual profession. From signing up for a comedy course on a whim to marching through the streets of New York, he’s built a career out of quick wit, glorious...

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 2 - If The Guns Don’t Kill You The Sausages Will From a mysterious figure created my over active teenage imagination to one of my oldest pals in the game…We’ve seen it aw!
