    559 - THE KOOKS - Rolling Stone Diss, Misheard Lyrics, & Kicked Out Of Their OWN Gig!
    May 15 2025
    This week, Jaack and Stevie are joined by the band that defined their teenage years - The Kooks! Luke Pritchard and Hugh Harris talk us through their early days at BRIT school, getting signed by Virgin Records at just 16 years old (too young to legally sign a contract!), and dealing with the fame that came practically overnight. With no plans to even be a singer, Luke tells us which songs were unexpected viral hits, why he was kicked out of his own gig, and what happens when Rolling Stone gives your debut album a scathing review… Hugh shares the absolutely ridiculous band name suggestion that was turned down, why he wasn’t a fan of their huge hit ‘Naive’, and the unconventional place he chose to write the new album. The boys reveal their pre-show rituals, mad rider demands, and the most rock-and-roll thing they’ve ever done. There’s also a UFO sighting and a ghostly encounter thrown in. Ooh la!

    The boys are back with a fourth instalment of Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals, diving into a fresh batch of unbelievable humans hoping to fill some more spaces indra book. From an athlete who runs marathons in his sleep (no, not Jaack), to a mental calculator (no, not Stevie), to a guy with majorly wacky height issues (don’t you dare). There’s genuine biological superpowers that could give Hardest Geezer a run for his money, a historical figure with an extremely unfortunate name, and a one-in-a-million medical oddity that was only discovered post mortem… Check out #411, #461 and #488 for the previous instalments of Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals!

    555 - DOMINIC MILTON TROTT - Meet The Man Who Has Tried 182 Different Drugs (PART 1)
    May 1 2025
    Dominic Milton Trott isn’t your stereotypical drug taker but having self-administered 182 different substances, he is, without a doubt, one of the most experienced. As the author of The Drug User’s Bible, Dominic has turned his substance-taking adventures into a mission to promote safety and knowledge. In Part 1 of his interview, we discover how a well-spoken computer nerd made his fortune and first dabbled in drugs. We learn what a psychonaut is, how to access the dark web, ways to ensure your drug purchase is safe, and tricks to get yourself out of a bad trip. Dominic shares which common kitchen-cupboard substance can produce an intense high, how a milkshake once triggered a bad trip, and the one drug he would NEVER touch again. He also tells us about his decade-long project: a book that chronicles his personal drug experiments—from ayahuasca to DMT to spice. And we hear what his wife thinks of his drug-fuelled escapades, and how a flight back from Colombia landed him in a spot of trouble… The Drug Users Bible: https://www.drugusersbible.com PDF Download Page: https://www.drugusersbible.com/2018/01/pdf.html Drug Tourism: https://www.drugtourism.org Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/DMTrott/ BlueSky: https://dmtrott.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/DrugUsersBible Substack: https://dmtrott.substack.com Quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Dominic-Milton-Trott Learn more about your ad choices.
