About this listen

The biggest rap band in the UK try to remember the history of the GLC. Make no mistake, this ain’t no history lesson – it’s a full-on nostalgia bender with tales of gigs, gaffs, and celebrity run-ins from 25 years of absolute chaos. From taking on Japan to smashing bingo halls like proper legends, the lads spill all the deets. So expect mad stories, bad decisions, and bodily fluids galore. It’s fame, fortune, and f***-ups – all served up GLC style. You knows it for real!

  • 🍺 Dry Jan (aka Dry Can-uary)
    Jan 11 2026

    It’s Dry January. Sort of. Eggsy’s on a “massive can”, Rhys is insisting he is sober, and Producer Paul is spiritually broken after poisoning himself on New Year’s Eve. Together, Rhys & Eggs kick off what may or may not be the first podcast of 2026 ever made, and immediately derail into cans, colours of alcohol, and why mixing drinks will absolutely ruin your life. What follows is a deep, dangerous dive into old press interviews from 2009, fan Q&As that should never have been answered, and proof that the internet used to just print anything you told it.


    New Single out now


    Key GLC Science Facts
    • People were younger in 2009 than they are now
    • Mixing drink colours is a medical disaster
    • Charity shops peaked in the early 2000s
    • If you can smell your own balls, something has gone wrong
    • Press interviews were better when journalists didn’t fact-check

    • 📉 Proof that cheaper videos = better songs

    • 🎬 Who should play GLC in a film (spoiler: Ian Lavender from Dad’s Army)
    • 🚌 Tour memories involving hangovers, northern train stations, frozen feet, and no food
    • 🧠 Admitting that for the first five years of the band, everything said to the press was a lie
    • 🎤 The best and worst things about touring (mostly smells, buses, and balls)
    • 🗑️ Why charity shops are dead and Vinted ruined everything
    • 🎭 David Bowie impressions nobody asked for

  • Mini Bad Boy Special: Beef Pies, Bad Knees & Bullseye at Midnight
    Dec 9 2025

    Eggsy and Adam (later Rhys) crack open a warm tour can and take us on a magical mystery ride through the 2025 GLC tour:

    • Manchester – Misty appears like the Welsh Elton John, crowd goes absolutely batshit, and some bloke called Dom drinks alone in the dressing room.
    • Kendall – Chef chops off half his finger and bleeds all over the fish and chips. Very rock ’n’ roll.
    • Margate – The boys drink in a pub that might be called “The Bag o’ Buckets” or something. Adam goes home early for Bullseye.
    • Bexhill – Eggsy has a pre-show dinner of ice cream followed by a Pot Noodle. Athlete.
    • Newcastle – Ladyboys of Bangkok next door; Billy does 10 poos; someone gets smashed in a beer hall; Rhys injures his leg after two songs and ends up being medically laughed at by NHS staff.
    • Hull – A pub so terrifying even GLC walk straight back out.
    • Nottingham – Longest graffiti penis ever documented.
    • Exmouth to Falmouth – Trego Mills nearly causes a religious experience. Pete Doherty’s dog exposes its luminous anus.
    • Frome – Adam once performed an entire gig four seconds behind reality.
    • Bridgend – The beer tastes like farts and everyone has to move dressing rooms mid-gig.
    • Ipswich – The lads stay up late watching a sci-fi porno on Talking Pictures TV that scarred them spiritually.
    • Oxford – Beef pie dream achieved; Adam pukes on his own poo and is reborn stronger.
    • Reading – Full English served in a bowl, ghost made of glittery smoke appears in the corridor.
    • Southampton – The boys all fall asleep on sofas and Adam makes a tiny mouse-squeak in his sleep that becomes the highlight of the tour.
    • Another place – Venue staff demand an extra 15 minutes of rapping; GLC politely refuse and drink heavily at a golf club instead.

    The boys close with a reminder that next year’s tour is Stairway to Newport, featuring their ongoing search for the mythical perfect steak and ale pie — roaring fire, pub dog (but not one with worms), proper ale, shortcrust pastry, the lot.

    This episode is 55 minutes of pure Newport chaos that you’ll never get back — but you’ll be glad you spent it.
