The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 12 With Mark Coffey - Never a Dill Day.

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 his trip to London coaching the latest WWE Tryouts we discuss the glory days of Scottish Pro Wrestling, how to get banned from multiple tour bus companies and what makes the perfect pizza (in our opinions). As if that wasn’t enough we even throw in a bit of ASMR for good measure…pickle style! This is The Brassneck Podcast I’m Jack Jester and my next guest is… Mark Coffey. Recorded at The Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 11 With Brains McLoud - Toast, Beans and Hip Hop Dreams.

“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 crush any ambition you once had but what if you used that as fuel to drive you to your dream location? A turbulent drive through I’ll Show You Street, up past I Canny Wait To See Your Face Avenue, a wee pit stop in Fake Accent Lane then full steam ahead to Fuck You City where you will inevitably run for Mayor. In a city known for its marmalade he chose to make jams…or is it Jelly? No wonder James McAvoy chose this story to make his directorial debut! This is The Brassneck Podcast. I’m Jack Jester and my next guest is… Brains McLoud!! Recorded at the Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 10 With Grado - 50 Shades of Grado.

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. When most people chose to be cool or mysterious or wild or dangerous he chose to be real and it’s a decision that would catapult him beyond pro wrestling and into the mainstream. We have known and worked with each other for a long time and if I had to write a sitcom using real quotes from real situations that he has actually been in commissioners would think I’d lost the plot! Im Jack Jester and he’s my pal, my colleague and one massive pain in my arse! Fae the Tap End a Stevenson… GRADO! Recorded at the Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 9 With Cammy Barnes - You’re Castlemilking This Noo!

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 25th of September those pipes will echo once again as my next guest marches into The Barrowland Ballroom to go to battle with not ONE sold out show but TWO sold out shows! No bad for a boy who started in a Linoleum factory eh? This is the Brass Neck Podcast and he is…Cammy Barnes!! Recorded at the Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 8 With Mark Dallas - The Great Bacon Scandal of Edinburgh.

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 and flung it in the bin. Total belief in himself, and more importantly, total belief in his wrestlers. Together, anything felt possible. From Maryhill Community Central Halls to the Hydro… and not a Bunsen burner in sight. My guest today is the Mad Scientist of Pro Wrestling… Mark Dallas.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 7 With Neil "The Wee Man" Bratchpiece - A Doctors Appointment. That Will Be Right!

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” Bratchpiece! Recorded at the Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 6 With Liam Dolan - Tonight Matthew I’m going to be… Gobsmacked!

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! We first met in the airport on our way to Benidorm before bonding over our love of old school variety entertainment while performing Aladdin in the Pavilion Theatre. He has interviewed Britney Spears, been heckled by Whitney Houston and been attacked my Rod Hull and Emu… What a life! He is everybody’s Panto Pal. He is Liam Dolan.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 5 With Shauna Macdonald- Vonny No Dae That!

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 a cave. And she buried her placenta on a golf course in South Africa. I mean… that’s a life. Joining me, Jack Jester, on The Brass Neck Podcast… She is, of course, Shauna MacDonald. Recorded at the Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 4 With Chris Toal - Call It A Fetish If You Want.

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. Life takes strange turns. From A Pint and Two Shots to The Brass Neck Podcast, he’s been there for the nonsense, the chaos, and all the bad ideas in between. A legend of the game, a long-time partner in crime, and one of the funniest men I know. He is Chris Toal. Recorded at the Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 3 With Billy Kirkwood - The Wan Aboot The Milkman And The Yodeller.

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 chaos, and a voice that’s become instantly recognisable across stages, radios, and podcasts alike. A comedian, writer, broadcaster, and one of Scotland’s most relentlessly inventive performers, he’s the kind of guy who doesn’t just tell jokes — he builds entire worlds of absurdity around them. My third guest on The Brass Neck Podcast is none other than Mr Billy “F**king” Kirkwood! Recorded at the Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.
