Vložit

- When it comes to the criminal underworld, Dave Courtney is the undisputed king of storytelling.
He’s a former gangster, author, actor and even porn star, and has unlimited tales of sex, violence, and villainry.
From his early life of crime, to working with the Krays, and from devastating personal tragedy to his Vegas honeymoon farce, Dave is a huge character with the gift of the gab.
Trust me when I say you’ll want to listen to the end of this one.

Fantastic interview. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Love Dave Courteney. Interviewer was great too. Best interview I've ever seen Dave give. Real heartfelt. And of course, hilarious as usual! Great stuff 👍
Thanks Chris and glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼👍🏼
😂😂😂👍
@@DodgeWoodallmate, I’ve listened to ALOT of podcasts but that was one of THE best ive ever heard…fucking excellent…what a legend Dave is…Thankyou both of you
His 😊😊😮😅

These old characters are of a different class and era. Never to be replaced. Rip david . Excellent interview
Talented interviewer, he actually listens to his guests and asks the kind of questions the viewers would want to ask. He's good as he doesn't spend the entire time talking about himself.
Agree 100%
With the proliferation of podcasts and one-to-one interviews it's becoming more and more common.
Refreshing to find one who listens.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Courtney whilst his firm was running the security at AWOL, Paradise Club in London. When we first went there in 92 it was very shady, with independent dealers ripping punters off sonetimes, getting mugged, dodgy pills etc etc. This all changed when Daves security took over. As he said once his security took over they took control of the drug dealers and the quality control. It changed everything about that club for the better. I unwittingly met Dave when i had lost my Mum's car keys in AWOL. I was shitting it thinking it was going to get nicked as it was parked 50m down the road. When i approached Dave he said dont worry about it son, your Mums car is going nowhere, go and enjoy the rest of the night. Go and see that fella over there (one of their dealers) and come and see me at the end of the night. I did and he personally handed me the car keys. Dave was proper old school. RIP. Nice podcast.
May he rest in internal peace, Dave was a face. Never have another Courtney, sad watching these back. What a guy 🕊️
R.i.p Dave courtney what a character will be missed dearly!
#RIP Dave 🙏
Shocking news, RIP Dave, you're gonna be missed lad.
Omg what a brilliant interview Dodge👏loved it and loved Dave' honesty.Shed a few tears watching it today😢He was a Sarf Londoner like myself.What a lively genuine funny man Dave was.R.I.P Brother❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it and yes a proper funny character 💛
Condolences from Ireland...Dave was a colourful London legend...rest in the garden of peace....22/10/2023.....🇬🇧🌻🇮🇪
Probably the best podcast I’ve ever heard.
Which has surprised me because I’ve never been a particular fan of his.
A very honest humble relatable raconteur.
Great suff 👏👏
One of Daves best interviews he showed what a real man goes true in life the ups and downs Respect to you both, love from ☘️🇮🇪🍀 Ireland 💚
Im a paddy as well 👍, tru irishman from Dublin and iv always like dave, hes great craic, vry straight talker 👍
@@JohnWick-pm5yq Top of the morning John,I could listen to Dave alnight Respect to you Comrade 💚☘️🇵🇸🇮🇪🍀💚
By far the best Dave Courtney interview IMO. Awesome
Probably the best interview I have ever had the privilege to listen to. An absolute MUST watch. Dave is hilarious and you also see the emotional sensitive side of this man.
Sarcasm??
One of the best interviews ive ever seen & the level of honesty here from dc speaks huge for his respect to the interviewer. Fantastic viewing.
Nice one Jason 👍🏼👍🏼
Well said Jason!
Wow. I have seen a million interviews with DC, I have read all his books…. I have never seen him open up and be so HONEST as on this. Massive respect and props to Dodge, literally the BEST host/interviewer out there. The people on his channel are all serious people and they all seem to be at ease and themselves. A big part of this is because of Dodge and his genuine, honest and CARING way he is. A lovely man I am sure and CZcams is much better since this channel started. Thank you for this golden content mate.
What a lovely message and thanks for taking the time to give your feedback!
Good man 🙏
By far the best version of Dave I've ever seen
Super, honest, frank conversation with a genuine man. Thanks for bringing us the podcast 🙌
What a wonderful interview. Dave at his most open and honest and so skilfully handled by Dodge . Top marks all round
Thanks Gordon 👍🏼👍🏼
That was a brilliant interview. I’ve never heard Dave speak like that. Thanks to both of you. Respect.
Good man and thanks for the message 🙌
RIP Dave Courtney.
Loved watching this podcast (and most of yours Dodge) RIP Dave sad way to go
"Crispy ducked his mate"lol 😂
Just finished watching this interview, and I must say. Mr Woodall, you smashed it out of the park mate. It was one of if not the best interviews I’ve watched. You brought Dave’s soul out in this interview, with the questions you asked of him. Good job mate. Rest in peace. Mr Courtney. God bless your family. ❤️
Have to say, I was always 50/50 about DC but this absolutely superb interview has changed my option in his favour. Dodge, your channel is head and shoulders above all the others, mainly due to your relaxed technique. Very skilful indeed mate
He’s a police informer
@@bobbybeebee469 you wid know
Glad I came across this, lost my mum in 2019 she loved the underground rave scene miss hearing all the crazy stories from the late 80s but was lucky to share my own from the scene 30 years later before she passed she loved it ❤
Your mum sounds like a great lady
the free raves what area i used to put them on.
He's the practical definition of being a celebrity gangster
@@michaelharrison3602tell me what a celeb gangster is pal
I'm a Glaswegian and just love Londoners patter. Dave is just compelling viewing .Brilliant viewing my pal .God bless.
Very open conversation … you did well opening Dave up and Dave did well-being so transparent

I watched this interview after listening to Dave’s best mate did his interview with you dodge . Chillingly when Dave mentioned about “ if I go I’ll have a smile on my face “ ……. Sadly those close to him didn’t know what was coming, how sad ! Brutally honest, wise with wisdom and a straight talker……. A proper man of integrity, rest in peace big fella …..
May I just add Dodge that your interviewing skills are amazing👌This was my favourite interview by far❤
Kind words Julia 🙏
Never seen Dave get upset like this. Big respect to Dave accept my condolences Dave.
Unfortunately he took his own life today
This was the best interview with dave that ive ever seen! Thankyou dodge! Rest in piece dave! What an absolute legend of the british underworld!!! There will never ever be another Dave Courtney!! That man will be TRULY missed!!😔😔😔😔💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
It’s our pleasure Daniel 🙏
Gotta love Dave. Proper character and make no mistake he could have a right tear up in his day.
I can’t help when I close my eyes I see zippy from rainbow 🌈 in my head god knows why
Sounds abit the same tbf ,watch rainbow now ur old, and it shows u how the BBC make pervert sick words its sick pedo writing,
@@p.s.w4744 bloody hell 😂 not sure how to take that one
I hear Sean Dyche lol
😂😂
Haha that's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
What an interview… always a good show with Dave, can’t get enough of the geezer 👌
Absolutely BRILLIAN episode! Thank you, Dodge. 😍
That was a banger! Plain and simple! The best one I’ve ever watched. Funny, sad and everything in between. Top podcast... 👍
Quality from Dave, We played one of his charity gigs at Camelot Castle last year and he is a an absolute gent.
That was a belter.. congratulations to you both you’ve put something out there that was special..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks 🙏
Just found this channel and it's absolutely brilliant. Great guests, great interviews and very entertaining. Subscribed straight away.
Brilliant content. Love hearing Dave’s stories he’s a top bloke. New subscriber look forward to more videos 💯
I read 'stop the ride' years ago and like a lot of people, I was left feeling a bit like he was a caricature of himself. I had a close friend who lived and worked in Tenerife who told me about meeting and working with him and that he was a real and likeable guy. I've avoided Dave and his work since, feeling I had heard it all before. This interview was enlightning and heart warming. He's obviously a changed man and mellowed with age. I could listen to that all over again. I probably will. Great stuff. New Subscriber.
Welcome on board Scott 👍🏼👍🏼
Just love this channel and the content, keep it up Dodge 👊🏼
Good man Daniel 👍🏼👍🏼
fantastic podcast really enjoyed this one from the king of the gift of the gab dave courtney
Listen to Dave all day. Top Bloke. Proper people's person. All the best Dave.
Despite my previous dismissive message regarding Dave…it’s always sad to hear someone pass especially taking their own life. RIP
Only just found you Dodge!! Imo, the best interviewer by a country mile. This interview with Dave blew me away, I’ve never seen him being so relaxed and open in an interview, brilliant stuff! Cheers fella!👍👍
Kind words and welcome on board 👍🏼👍🏼
Probably the best podcast ever. Big respect to you both. I fucking love you Dave and Dodge . BRILLIANT 👏 Xx
Fantastic interview well done, thank you 💪
Genson was one of my good mates when I was 15 , definatly a leader but man he was a handful, very feared even from young age . Rip 🙏 😢
Maybe if he didn't look up to Dave he'd be alive today kids do look up to Dad's, no fault of Dave's.
Superb, really enjoyed this. Dodge is a quality interviewer and the best
Never wanted this to end. Absolutely loved hearing this legends story. RIP boss man
RIP!! Thanks for the chat Dave. It meant the world to me that you took the time to talk and play pool when you were clearly busy......
Brilliant interview with great questions and informative content.
Always loved Dave. He says it how it is and when he opens up he really opens up. No fakeness. No exaggeration. Just facts. And a lot of hilarity. Top guy.
The most honest dave interview a good watch
rip Dave watched him for years what a legend he was great interview never get bored of he's story's the detail couldn't make it up ❤
Brilliant podcast 👍 I have been checking out your other podcasts absolutely great.
Word for word same as an interview 2 years ago in his house and other ones.. like a comics set ...probably same as the stage tours etc .but wow tells them brilliant. And it's his life so the things gonna be same I guess . Worrying if there was no continuity. Great character..and very honest and open and self deprecating . Enjoyed it
“Rent a clump” 😂😂
This was the best Dave Courtney interview ever you got him to open up without him beating you up great interview skills and good on Dave for not avoiding questions brilliant interview
There's a really good interview that he has done with an American interviewer and he's really good in it. He talks about the TV in UK and how he's never seen on TV anymore and the reasons why. it was really good very interesting
@@tristanmorgan852 Patrick bet David yes brilliant interview that is to Tristan
Great interview Dodge,met Dave a couple of times great bloke had a chat and a laugh always got time for people 🙂👍
One of the best Podcasts Dodge, great to hear Dave's Stories made me laugh of his escapades haha.
Glad you enjoyed it Nath 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing interview Dodge. Top work as always.
Good man Dom 👍🏼⚒️
Really enjoyed that and great questions dodge , what a character, RIP Dave
Good man Tom 👍🏼👍🏼
This was great Dodge. Thankyou. You get a lot out of your guests, it's a natural flowing conversation. You don't get this on other Podcasts, I love it.
Much appreciated Kerri 💛
I'd agree, Kevin Lane interview made me come here and now subbed. Some excellent guests having good conversations. 👍
What he said about his ex wife was the best thing I've ever heard come out of his mouth,I've always liked Davey boy but how he speaks so highly of his ex wife really impressed me. That's a proper geezer admits his fuck up and tells the fucking truth, the fact she was black makes it even better I know exactly what he means about those times! He is one in a million absolute diamond geezer!
True but no gangster in Maidstone Reggie called him the piss boy because Reggie'would tell him to do something and Dave would piss off and do it. Dave would wait an hour to talk to him and Reggie would give him two minutes. But he done the same to lots of visitors,but Dave being called the piss boy was insulting.
@@patkearney9320 could have been worse. Piss flap?
What a fantastic interview... Loved it
I find Dave entertaining. Really well done interview, glad I’ve found this channel.
Thanks The Oracle and welcome on board 👍🏼👍🏼
I was a character witness for Charlie Kray in his last court case! What could possibly go wrong!?……seriously though,great interview,open and honest. ❤
Great interview. Dave being funny and very honest. Mafia bit was funny as. Well done Dodge, working through a lot of these.
quality through and through. great interview
Great interview! and well done for letting Dave speak, new subscriber :)
Like him or hate him, he is a funny man. 😊 Great orator of anecdotal stories.
I listened to the first story so far and the man ain't lying. I laughed so hard at staying in pub, for the sake of celebrating new year at his pub, 5minutes after playing kebab roulete with a machete, so hard..
Man is a jester for sure!
Cheers to all who never buried their inner child during their lifetime!
Sending love & light to Dave's family & friends 💙
Great interview and content Dodge.
Brilliant interview, perfect questions and left Dave to speak his mind honestly. Most of the time you can tell he’s not completely comfortable with the interviewer, here he’s totally at ease..
Good man 👍🏼👍🏼
This is a really good podcast Dave is really good at telling any story it’s up there 👆🏼
Really enjoy watching Dave Courtneys interviews, what a character, the things he knows and the people he has had the pleasure of knowing is simply stunning.
Every cockney knows the kray twins
Great interview Dodge, you actually interviewed my auntie Katie Street and I've since enjoyed your podcasts a lot. Great work 👌
Kind words Pabs and yes Katie episode was a cracker too! Glad you are enjoying the podcast 👍🏼👍🏼
@@philipwatts9033 why ?
Really cool interview. Flowed brilliantly
Thanks mate😊
Much appreciated River 👍🏼👍🏼
Don’t know how I missed this another excellent interview. Love Dave real South London character colourful packed a lot in done more than most people do in a lifetime. So sorry he split with Jenny losing a child in that way would brake even the toughest of people. She didn’t just lose her son she also lost her brother as well. We can’t know how that feels and mores to the point we wouldn’t want to be in that position. Sending love and healing ❤ to you Jenny and to Dave.
probably the best podcast interview I've ever seen.........
Agreed
brilliant mate , loved this one
what a brilliant interview , ive read a few of his books and he seems a geniune guy
Great interview very well done
Dave's straight up
Luv daves 100% honesty in this interview. Another great interview dodge. You always get the best out your geusts mate
Great listen, thank you
“I’ve got a nightclub at the bottom of my garden” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dave cracks me up!
thanks for sharing this was very insightful RIP Dave
Dave is a top bloke.
Brilliant interview.
I was working in Tenerife when Micky Goldtooth was working the door at Linekers and You heard stories from workers about Things going off involving Dave and a few of his men. Confirmed in his book. I remember Micky had pasted someone one night and came in Rumours where I was working obviously I knew by the look on his face he'd done something and just said what do you gents want to drink, he was with another chap. He also used to have a cane on the door, a lovely bloke but wouldn't want to upset him. Dave very honest interview and I feel the pain of losing your soulmate. Great interview once again.
Still can’t believe he’s gone. I have an uncle who was good friends with him and was part of his firm at the time and I feel sorry for my uncle every time he mentions Dave. R.I.P 🕊️
Another cracking interview Dodge your getting good at this 😂😂😂
Brilliant interview..
I seen a few vids of Dave on here, some ridicule him in the comments section but I think he's a right character and a good man!
Really enjoyed this podcast.
Nice one Barty 👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah remember watching that vid they made of him when he had hair RIP DAVE COURTNEY...great interview sir...all the best..im looking forward to watching all ya vids ..cheers dodge..🤝🥊💯👍🏻
When ever I came over to daves patch or the raves over in South London. This guy was always polite and welcoming I was from East London and there's was always beef .but it was always a smashing time . I felt safe cheers dave
I've never been sure about Dave but tbh he's changed my mind with this interview, instead of his usual ego rants hes revealed himself here as who he is. That's down to Dodge as his interview style gets his guests relaxed and talking real talk. His (DC) list of people that backs him up for not being a grass settles it for me as you can't say those names if you're bullshitting.
Another excellent interview from Dodge, one of CZcamss best UK channels IMHO 👍
