The Drunk Therapy Podcast

***Apologies for the dips in sound quality that occur in this episode.  Sadly the recording from the sound desk at the venue got corrupted and this is the audio pulled from a camera filming the show that was positioned next to the bar and a wee noisy bastard fan*** March 12th, 2020.  One of the last days we were allowed to go to pubs and live events and 70 beautiful souls joined us at Broadcast, G...

We're joined by creator and host of the Facebook page The Stayin' Inn, Andy Dunlop for this one to discuss the lockdown online community he has built.  How has a test pub quiz on his personal Facebook snowballed into a One Show appearance and over 10,000 followers in such a short space of time?  Beyond that we chat touring with Twin Atlantic, memories of the Barras and how the music industry is ha...

Listener numbers are tumbling, conversation is scarce, all momentum is lost but dog period chat should bring everything back to the way all was before, right?  Beyond that James has a concept for a sitcom he's proud of, Cheyne's knowledge of birds is stretched and Danny dabbles with the idea of parenthood. After half an hour this turns to absolute shit, sorry.  But the bible stuff in the end makes...

We're delighted to bring back Hannah Currie for a catch up chat in this episode.  Recorded fresh off Boris Johnson's absolute car crash press briefing a bit of politics chat is inevitable sorry as there's venting to be had to open the show.  James sparks the violent revolution so keep your eyes peeled for more on that.  Beyond that we chat to Hannah about enjoying online speed dating shows, keepin...

After a wee break due to just being so busy we're back. Folk are going mental spying on cunts social distancing habits and Danny having a naked face gets the chat going. Beyond that did Danny finish his dissertation and how did his cyber speed dating experience go? What good news does James have? Why has Cheyne spent 2 hours traipsing around the east end of Glasgow? How have we got to the stage we...

Very much a podcast of two halves here as madness and anger take their toll before the reassuringly positive presence of Kat from 'Yer Awrite' Instagram fame joins the call to try and provide some hope. Why is Danny raging at everything? Is Cheyne a cunt? Has James lost it? There's some good chat on CBT methods and coping mechanisms for handling all this shite as we enter another 3 weeks of lockdo...

This is our first attempt at a video one so if you want to see it (you're not missing much) find us on YouTube! The last couple of isolation ones have been a depressing shambles so who better than the Princess of Positivity herself, Jen Louise to come back and cheer us up!  We touch a little upon all our latest isolation chat as Jen exposes a lunatic with house jeans, Cheyne makes up a story, Dann...

James is in his final days at his job before leaving and thinks he has coronavirus and the other two have been holed up for a fortnight.  Strap in for a fun fuelled episode.  There's some cathartic outpourings balanced with some tips on staying focus and positive are shared.  Beyond that Danny has signed up for Pornhub Premium, Cheyne gets wanky about films, James is a victim of a drive by and dea...

The word lockdown has taken on a whole new meaning in three weeks since this was recorded... Jamie Louise and Biggs from this years edition of Love Island join us to discuss all the big gossip such as how do you do a shite on Love Island.  There's a slightly more serious look at the aftercare for contestants and an interesting insight into the production of the show itself.  Danny learns about Lov...

A week or so into us all staying in our houses we're still chatting on Hangouts and this time are joined by our pal Frankie Elyse, who is currently trying to get home from a holiday in Costa Rica.  Frankie tells us all about the ongoing saga that is trying to get home and the impact the pandemic has had on her trips.  It all sounds a bit harrowing but five minutes later she starts telling us all a...

It's March 23rd, you know what that means?  Oh, you don't.  It's Danny's birthday!  And to celebrate he's going fucking nowhere as we're all locked up.  After discussing the nothingness that is turning 32 we get into memories of birthdays of years gone by.  Hear all about James saving Danny's life in Amsterdam the night before he turned 30.  Cheyne's birthday ceilidh and James big musical surprise...

Things are a bit fucked up out there just now so to try and keep ourselves & you amused we jumped on Google Hangouts to see what would happen.  In our first attempt, we try and normalize what is going on in the world in our own way, Cheyne and Danny introduce some new characters, James reflects on his time at Capital as it comes to an end and memories of the live show are shared from that time we...

The Dennistoun Menaces gain a new member as Susie McCabe joins us for an extended, and consistently hilarious chat.  You'll be starving after ten minutes as Scottish delicacies are discussed before the fancy phone call technology is again used to settle a discussion.  Susie is then given a big label to live up to, gets chatting to us about her upbringing, coming out to Catholic parents, the trials...

Dad, comedian, radio host, wrestling commentator and professional guffer Billy Kirkwood takes time from his insanely busy schedule to join us for a tremendous chat.  Naughty dads, defecation confessions and summer camps get us started before Billy gets telling us about his career.  Starting out with stand up, escaping the mundane routine of life and being the first Scottish born comic to gig in Ma...

The opening noise is so annoying that the only way is up for this podcast from 2 seconds onwards.  It's the last recording with just the 3 of us before our live show, and with the preparation going slow and a trip to the venue leading to more questions than answers, someone bites the bullet and issues a proposition to get the excitement bubbling.  As life is getting frantic for all of us James and...

Author, playwright, sound cunt and tweeter Chris McQueer joins us for this one to discuss all manners of weird and wonderful things.  We open with how he got into writing before going through some of his favourites, trying to explain Butlins in Ayr to Cheyne and comparisons to other writers.  From there Cheyne immediately regrets yet another lust for incest, a new gang is formed and we learn the w...

Guest-fest continues as we're joined in this episode by Danny McLaren from the Dirty Vegan Burger Club and Woke Glasgow.  We talk about so much that it's a really tricky blurb to try and summarise this episode.  Just trust us that it is fascinating, hilarious, insightful and outrageous throughout.  

Brace yourself for the greatest opening five minutes you'll ever hear on this podcast as Danny's secret powers emerge.  Once the dust is settled on it we get properly chatting to our guest, stand up comic and excellent human being, Amy Matthews.  We chat about her move to Scotland, the slog of travelling for stand up and the fine art of 1920's literature.  Ice lollies and neopolitan ice cream trig...

Cheyne is sick, so of course the topic of masturbation is immediately discussed as it had just been too long as an old theory is revisited.  Gameshows and Kevin Costner films are listed, James needs saved from a nemesis, Cheyne has an important test to pass and Danny is made an offer he can refuse by one of the guys.

Ahead of the ICW Square Go we're joined by returning star Davey Blaze for an outstanding chat.  There's chat on Drew McIntyre as he celebrates being the first Scot to win the Royal Rumble before we get into Davey's career, including using a sex toy as a weapon, the pop for his return and a bit of chat on his recent absence from the company.  Beyond that we hear the intricate details of appearing o...

In August 2018 we decided to attempt recording a podcast.  We recorded twice in a week and then didn't do anything again until January.  James has found those two demos so here's Danny hyping them up for your listening pleasure.  The content is stuff you've most likely heard in one form or another since but there's some funny stuff and interesting observations in here.  It's also the last time Dan...

To mark the 50th episode (not really, just a coincidence) we're joined by stand up comic and Scot Squad star, Darren Connell.  Cheyne makes another great first impression and we get into Darren's lifestyle change by reminiscing fondly about junk food.  There's fascinating chat on getting into stand up, acting and another captivating round of The Urban Dictionary Quiz Massive thanks to Darren for j...

Cheyne's bizarre first digs in the UK open the episode, and of course lead to extremely dodgy conversation about Tinkerbell.  There's talk of freshening things up on the podcast, James and Cheyne get deep about the importance of loving parents whilst Danny agonises over the thought of war breaking out

Welcome to Drunk Therapy in 2020!  Christmas chat is quickly tossed aside and James 2019 resolutions are assessed and 2020 goals are laid down, kinda.  Danny looks back at all his previous weight loss attempts including laser liposuction and embarrassing gym encounters before him and Cheyne discuss a hobby they want to explore further.  Sit back and marvel at audio of young Cheyne and James attemp...

Back in April 2019 we recorded an amazing episode with Robyn from the Instagram page Robyn Does Yoga and the Spooky Bitch Podcast.  We enjoyed the chat so much that afterwards we all sat and got even more drunk together and James decided we should then record another episode on a whim.  The result of that is now here for your enjoyment in this opening episode of 'The Blackout Files', where we have...
