We reported two new glitches of PSR B1822-09 that were detected at the Shanghai Tian Ma Radio Telescope. The glitches occurred around MJD 58,025 and 58,474.5, respectively. The shapes of the integrated mean pulse profiles in both the radio-bright (B-mode) and the radio-quiet (Q-mode) modes changed after two glitches. Such changes are probably related to the trigger mechanisms of the glitches. According to the Gaussian fitting to the integrated mean pulse profiles, variations of the integrated mean pulse profiles can be attributed to variations of the Gaussian components. The fitting also indicates that there may be changes in only a part of the Gaussian components after glitches. We proposed an interpretation of the relation between the precursor and the interpulse of PSR B1822-09 according to variations of Gaussian components. We analyzed the cumulative distributions of the glitch sizes and the waiting times of all 14 glitches of PSR B1822-09. The cumulative distribution of the glitch sizes can be fitted well by a power law with an index α of 0.985 ± 0.005. The cumulative distribution of the waiting times follows a Poisson model with a mean waiting time λ of 466 ± 66 days. The correlation coefficient between the waiting times and the sizes of the corresponding preceding glitches is 0.906. In contrast, there is no apparent correlation between the waiting times and the sizes of the corresponding trailing glitches.
