Ray rides solo in this powerful episode featuring Muslim academic Musa al-Gharbi.

The acclaimed author, boffin and former atheist - now Muslim - doesn’t hold back.

We explore the complexities of ‘woke,’ the vicious culture wars at play and the wider ramifications for us all. What better platform to get to the truth of matters than BBDG, with Ray Winstone (and not Tony Soprano for this episode.)

Bobby Davro was a TV comedian at a time when that truly meant something.

In the late 80's he was as recognizable as Cilla Black or Mr T, and Davro in his prime couldn't walk to his local Safeway without some denim skirted minx jumping out of her white Fiesta to perform oral sex on him.

But the 90's was a very different story. Axed by TV in favour of smarmy new middle-class comedians like Newman & Baddiel, Davro was forced to live in his Ford Granada for years and survive on gigs at caravan parks for £120 + a free meal.

The man came in to finally lift the lid on his fall from grace and discuss a shot at redemption.

But is there a way back for Bobby Davro in the post-woke comedy world of 2025?

"It's fashion! It's fashion this bulls**t!"

It took some doing, but the man behind that viral clip was finally found.

His name is Golan Horesh and he's a Jewish bodybuilder. As you may expect he has some very strong opinions

on Isreal and Palestine, so brace yourself.

The Live at The Apollo and Experion advert star, 52, came into the studio to discuss his life and career. By 17 he was 24 stone and eating out of bins, while also battling a drink problem (using the folds in his belly to hide stolen 4-packs of XXXX). Rehab followed and some rocky years, particularly in his private life as fame and money brought attention from women at a time when men were expected to be men even if it did mean cheating on the misses with a new bit of skirt every weekend.

Now married to the most beautiful woman in comedy, Rachel Parris, Brigstocke was in reflective mood as he discussed addiction, new love, 30 years in jokes and the comedy industry in 2025. Ray thinks modern comedians are rubbish, but does Marcus agree?

Johnny Marr is a certified icon. One of the greatest guitarists of all time, he countered Morrissey's poetic misery with dazzling riffs and genre-bending flourish. And somehow multiple number one albums, awards and indie immortality hasn't turned him into a w**ker. He came in to chat about it all with Tony and Ray.

P**n actress and Only Fans girl Kat Baker didn't plan any of this. The sweet, country girl had intended to use her PhD to become a social policy expert. But a chance encounter with a used knickers saleswoman showed her where the real money was. One thing lead to another and before you know it you're f**king strangers in front of your 10 megapixel webcam for more money than some social policy loser probably makes in a year. And there's no going back.

This is the modern woman, from the new world of t*ts out feminism. So pop your c**k down incels and listen. It’s time to learn.

In a world of soulless simps, suckling on the gatekeeper’s hairy teat for their chance at the top, Dirty Dike ripped up and rewrote the rule book. A rapper, a graffiti artist, a former jailbird and perhaps most edgy of all, now a guest contributor on a men’s mental health podcast.

If hip hop is about excess, then this conversation is a delicious smorgasbord of empty calories, fatty fluids and an excessive amount of rich content.

Laura Smyth's been grabbing comedy by the b**locks over the last 5 years. A rare working class voice in a sanitized sh*t show of rich kids playing at grownups, she even fought off cancer a couple too just to keep things spicy. The former school teacher came in stinking of booze on the day, which we admire and respect. Viva La Vida as Ricky Martin said.
