    Every Fart's a Fear | Episode 50 | Glaswegians Anonymous

    Welcome to a massive milestone—Episode 50 of Glaswegians Anonymous! We’ve hit the big five-0, and the patter is as chaotic as ever. As you can probably guess from the title, "Every Fart's a Fear", we're in top form this week. We kick things off with Gary issuing a formal (well, sort of) apology for his ADHD completely taking over the "Two Diddies" episode. With the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games officially launching this week, the boys get to thinking: what exactly should go into the official "Glasgow Welcome Pack" for visiting athletes? Plus, we talk swally and scran. Darren goes on a legendary rant about his absolute hatred for IPAs, we ask if anyone has actually survived a can of Super Lager, and we finally get to the bottom of Darren’s infamous "Omelette Gate" at the China Sea. Gary also drops his recommendation for the best Indian in the city.For the tourists (and the locals), we review Glasgow's top TripAdvisor attractions, share our own personal top tier things to do, and discuss our favourite things about the city's two footballing cathedrals: Celtic Park and Ibrox. Finally, we pull back the curtain on the comedy scene to talk about drinking before gigs, and reminisce about the traditional Glasgow method for teaching weans how to swim... just chuck 'em straight in the deep end!

    Live from the SEC! Big Angie, Hash Buckets & Darren’s 8-Month Drought

    Live from a packed-out SEC Glasgow! The boys are taking the stage for our biggest, wildest live show yet, and we are joined by the absolute legend that is Kevin Brannigan (AKA the one and only Big Angie)! We’re diving deep into the chaos right from the curtain-raiser. Darren kicks things off by finally breaking his legendary 8-month dry spell the literal night before the show (pleasure responsibly, folks), before we jet off to his traumatizing tales from the Amsterdam Blue Light District. Meanwhile, Gary takes us down memory lane to the time he got caught red-handed taking a hash bucket in school. Our brilliant guest Kevin opens up about what it was really like growing up gay in Glasgow's East End, his "alleged" gang days with the Barrowfield fleet, and the time he got absolutely battered with a flip-flop for knocking back his ex. We also chat about his incredible Big Angie community tours bringing laughs back to the schemes. Also in this episode: Scheme Nostalgia: The mental games we used to play on the streets back in the day. Dream vs. Reality: What we actually wanted to be when we grew up versus the absolute worst jobs we ever had (Darren’s hell as a tiler’s apprentice and Gary’s stint as a Queen’s Guard). The Ultimate Question: What would we strictly not do for £1,000,000? Wrestling & Weird Sex: Gary’s ICW madness and Darren’s questionable decision to dress up as Bobby for some bedroom roleplay. Warning: Contains high-voltage Glaswegian patter, explicit confessions, and zero filters.Watch, listen, and subscribe! Let us know in the comments: What wouldn't YOU do for a million quid?
