Goldie Lookin Chain

🎧 Goldie Lookin Chain Podcast – Episode 17
This week the boys head back to 2005 and the legendary GLC trip to Japan — a long flight, heavy jet lag, brandy at breakfast, and toilets so advanced they changed lives forever.
From playing Sonic Mania and sharing dressing rooms with Marilyn Manson, to nearly getting arrested for hanging out of hotel windows, it’s a chaotic look at GLC going international for the first time.
Plus: recording Safe As Fck* at Rockfield, two weeks of “creative exploration,” modern art disasters in Lambeth Street, and the plate-smashing incident that probably ended an era.
It’s culture. It’s history. It’s bidets.
Long way to Japan though.

Episode 16 sees the lads bravely hand control of the podcast over to the public — with predictably disastrous results. Armed with Facebook questions and zero organisation, GLC tackle life’s big topics: curry orders when someone else is paying, crisps that gave you the shits, shower-time music, shell suits with missing limbs, and why Burberry absolutely hated them.

🍛 Dream curry orders when Graham’s footing the bill
🥘 Curry house politics: Mahin Spire vs Handpost Tandoori
🚌 The true meaning of Kiosk 113 and where the other 112 kiosks went
🥔 Rare crisps, oven instructions, and instant diarrhoea
🚿 Shower-time music choices and practicing raps while washing your foul
🎤 Songs the band love but don’t play live (and why that’s probably for the best)
🕺 Welcome to Germany and the interpretive dance that cost them most of their audience
🐶 Dogs vs cats, plus historic anti-cat propaganda in the NME
🍺 Gigs ruined (or enhanced) by chemical enthusiasm
🎪 Festival memories involving Red Stripe cans used as microphones
🏨 A corporate gig, lost hotel rooms, drag queens, and promises that went unfulfilled
🧥 Billy’s shell suit sleeves and the international sleeve-sharing agreement
🍻 Who’s worst at drinking beer (and who can sleep holding a pint)
🥪 The ultimate working men’s club buffet: prawns, mini Kievs, egg sandwiches and beige fear
🧢 The fate of Fash, balaclavas, and ideas that never quite took off
🚗 Why the car had to be destroyed and filmed
🚌 Newport bus routes, pub crawls, and not helping pregnant women
🛒 The middle aisle of Lidl: trainers, windcheaters, DIY tools and hidden dildos
💿 Hidden tracks on GLC albums and how CDs used to mess with your head
🛍️ Cwmbran vs Newport (spoiler: Newport wins, obviously)
📻 A wholesome shout-out to the band Radioactive

Recorded in what the boys describe as an “executive drinking establishment”, this episode quickly descends into medical horror stories, tour flashbacks, dangerous household items, and the boldest claim ever made on audio: 365 skid-mark-free days.

What Happens (In No Particular Order)

👖 A deeply forensic debate about skid marks, wiping techniques, and toilet paper quality
🚌 Tour flashbacks: cold venues, bad loos, excellent pubs
🧠 Proof that GLC quizzes should never be attempted sober or organised
🏰 Castles played, seas pooed in, pubs visited, and bands mildly insulted
🍺 Jeremy Clarkson’s pub, his pint, and his imagined string-tied torso
🎤 The official launch of the GLC Tour Quiz, featuring no buzzers and total confusion

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
