I Got Sober to Not Be an A**hole with Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols Bassist)

Glen Matlock... yes, that Glen Matlock, original bassist for the Sex Pistols, has a story about sobriety that’s as loud, messy, and unfiltered as the music that made him famous.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The day a bag of crisps literally shouted his own name back at him (seriously)

  • Why he quit drinking after realizing he was “fed up with making a c*nt” of himself

  • What he says when people call him boring now (spoiler: it’s not an apology)

  • How watching drunk people repeat themselves on a loop is more boring than any sober night in

  • The time a pub owner swore he saw Glenn in the movie Arthur, and Glenn didn’t even know he was in it

  • Why staying off the booze for decades might just be the most punk rock thing he’s ever done

This isn’t your tidy redemption arc, it’s a raw, funny, and sometimes ridiculous look at what it takes to survive fame, punk, and yourself.
