    Are You Shagging Exhausts? | Episode 25 | Live From Smokey Trotter Kitchen Special |

    Episode 25 is coming at you live from the heart of the Barras! We set up shop in Smokey Trotter’s Kitchen with a list of audience suggestions and zero self-control. In true Darren and Gary fashion, the "plan" goes out the window within minutes as the boys spiral into a series of mad tangents involving childhood lofts, questionable grooming habits, and a smell Gary will never forget. The Highlights (or Lowlights): • The Ultimate Swerve: We managed to avoid all political chat by dodging Donald Trump entirely—somehow replacing him with a deep dive into Screech from Saved by the Bell. • The "Mary Doll" Collision: Gary recounts his brush with Scottish comedy royalty and the time he nearly ended Elaine C. Smith. • The Loft Years: Darren opens up about being the "hidden child" and getting locked away in the loft. • The Taste of Fear: Gary describes a fart at one of his gigs so potent he didn't just smell it—he actually tasted it. • A Very Sensitive Pre-Date: Darren shares the harrowing story of using Veet on his "special areas" before a big night out. • Diagnosis & Brine: Darren updates us on his autism test and proves that his pickle obsession is now officially a lifestyle choice. • The Dark Web of the Audience: We look into the weirdest porn habits suggested by you lot. (Get help, seriously.) • Death Row Dinners: What would your final meal be? The boys debate the essential last munch. • Cameo Chaos: The absurdity of buying videos from washed-up celebrities. Keep Up With The Madness: 📍 Location: Huge thanks to Smokey Trotter’s Kitchen at the Barras for the hospitality and the best scran in the city. 🔔 Subscribe: Hit that button and turn on notifications. It’s the only way to keep Gary out of the loft. #GlaswegianAnonymous #SmokeyTrotters #TheBarras #GlasgowLive #ScottishPodcast #DarrenAndGary #VeetDisasters

Is it time for Glocks on the Gallowgate, or are we better off without?• The "Station" Experience: From the awkwardness of encounters with the law to the high-stakes mission of retrieving a Young Scot card from the local station.• The Rise of the Machines: Darren and Gary share their latest chats with ChatGPT. Are we looking at a digital revolution or just a fancy way to argue with a toaster?• The Paranormal & The Political: Do ghosts exist, or is it just the wind in the tenement? Plus, a look at "Trump’s Board of Peace" and the terrifyingly unlikely (but let’s discuss it anyway) prospect of America invading the UK.• Gary’s Personal Crisis: Between eating a takeaway every single day and a spiraling case of death anxiety, Gary wonders if he’ll meet the ghosts he doesn't believe in sooner than expected.It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, and it’s pure Glasgow.Where to listenAvailable now on all major platforms.

    An MOT For Your Fart Box? | Episode 23 | Glaswegians Anonymous

    Buckle up, because this week Darren and Gary are diving into the deep end of the "too much information" pool. In an episode that swings wildly from the medical to the geopolitical, no topic is too taboo (or too messy) for the lads to tackle.Inside This Episode:• The Deep Clean: Darren gives us a blow-by-blow account of his recent colonic irrigation. From the clinical dignity of the waiting room to the... less dignified reality of the procedure, find out if he’s feeling lighter or just traumatized.• The Private Life: The boys get uncomfortably honest about their preferred "solitary habits." We find out exactly where the magic happens (or doesn't) in a conversation that'll make you want to bleach your headphones.• The Trump Doctrine: Switching gears to the Leader of the Free World, the lads discuss the 47th President’s bizarre foreign policy ambitions—specifically, his recurring dream of invading Greenland. Is it a real estate play or just a very cold ego trip?• The Golden Arches Diet: Finally, we break down the secret to presidential longevity: a strict regimen of Big Macs and Diet Coke. Is it the ultimate power move, or is his blood type just "Special Sauce" at this point?Warning: Contains strong language, graphic medical descriptions, and opinions that definitely haven't been fact-checked by anyone, anywhere.

    Buckle up for another chaotic shift with the Glaswegians Anonymous crew! This week, Gary and Darren are trading the microphones for aprons—or at least they’re dreaming about it.

He breaks down exactly why he hates them (mostly because he can’t keep them) and the boys share their most successful—and disastrous—attempts at "self-improvement." • Extreme Diets: Gary announces his plan to attempt a 40-day fast, while Darren reminisces about the time he went full Christian Bale and attempted The Machinist diet. • Getting Personal: Things take a turn for the "distinctly Glaswegian" as the boys get honest about the weirdest things they’ve ever had to use when the toilet roll ran out.

    Your Maw Is In My Dm's Bro | Glaswegians Anonymous | Episode #21

    The boys are back for the first sit-down of 2026, and let’s just say the festive period has left its mark—mostly on Gary’s waistline and Darren’s ego.In this episode, Gary and Darren dissect the chaos of Christmas and New Year. While Darren has emerged looking suspiciously "fresh" (leading to an investigation into his new glow), Gary is mostly just recovering from a dairy-induced coma.What’s on the menu:• The Transformation: Darren is looking good, feeling good, and hitting the boxing training hard. Is he the next world champ or just the fittest guy at the bus stop?• The Cheese Board Incident: Gary admits to polishing off an entire cheese board solo, but the real tragedy is his botanical knowledge—apparently, he’s been eating chives thinking they were shamrocks.• The Country has Changed: Gary gets philosophical (and a bit worried) about the state of the nation. It’s not the Scotland he remembers, and he’s got thoughts.• Derby Day Drama: The dust has settled on the Old Firm / Glasgow Derby, and the boys weigh in on the result that has half the city celebrating and the other half hiding under their duvets.• Square Gos: In a bold move that absolutely nobody asked for, Darren explains why he’s ready to take Amy Macdonald and Richard Foster in a square go.It’s a high-energy start to the year filled with questionable fitness advice, botanical errors, and the usual West Coast nonsense.Like, Comment, and Subscribe if you want more mayhem. 🎟️ Tickets for the next show: https://www.sec.co.uk/events/detail/glaswegians-anonymous-live-ep2
