    GUYS STARE AT MY T**S | EPISODE 33 | GLASWEGIANS ANONYMOUS

    The sun has finally made a guest appearance in Glasgow, which means two things: everyone is suddenly "taps aff" at Glasgow Green, and the unsolicited commentary is at an all-time high. In this episode, the gang gets into the grit of surviving a Scottish summer while navigating the unwanted gaze and the internal battle of body shame.The Heatwave & The HustleWe kick things off with a candid discussion on body shame. As the layers come off, the insecurities come out, and we address the episode’s namesake: the exhausting reality of dealing with guys who can’t keep their eyes to themselves just because the temperature hit 18°C.From there, we pivot to a classic Glasgow mystery: How do the local "jakies" always have better trainers than us? While we’re out here working 9-to-5s just to afford a pair of scuffed Gazelles, the boys on the corner are rocking pristine, limited-edition vapormax. We investigate the secrets of the street-side "crep" game.Window Cleaning & Lockdown SecretsDarren takes us down memory lane with his Confessions of a Window Cleaner. Ever wondered what it was like to be one of the few people allowed to roam the streets during COVID? Darren reveals the strange sights, the lockdown "activities" he caught through the glass, and what it’s really like being the neighborhood’s most essential (and unintentional) voyeur.The Great Food Debates• Eggy Bread vs. French Toast: It’s the age-old question. Is it a sophisticated brunch item or a salty, ketchup-covered hangover cure? The team draws a line in the sand.• Professor Green’s Glasgow Spot: We review the latest food venture from Professor Green and see if it lives up to the hype in the Glasgow food scene.• Gary vs. Mounjaro: In a feat of pure willpower (and perhaps a bit of gluttony), Gary explains exactly how he managed to "out-fat" the world’s most famous weight-loss drug. Science said he’d lose the appetite; Gary said, "Watch this." Nostalgia & Final Tributes• RIP Chuck Norris: We pay our respects to the legend himself. Whether it’s the memes or the roundhouse kicks, the world feels a little less safe today.• Childhood Video Vault: From The Krankies to old-school VHS tapes of The Lion King, we talk about the videos that raised us and why we keep going back to them for comfort.• Scottish Sun Spots: If you’re looking to escape the city, we shout out our favorite spots to soak up the UV rays—from the "Costa del Troon" to the hidden gems in the Highlands.Don’t forget to subscribe and leave us a review if you’re enjoying the chaos. 🎟️ Tickets for the next show: https://www.sec.co.uk/events/detail/glaswegians-anonymous-live-ep2

    I’ve had 400 Street Fights Mate….Undefeated | Episode 30 | Glaswegians Anonymous

    In this landmark 30th episode, the boys are joined by a man who knows exactly what it takes to reach the top of the mountain: British and Commonwealth Featherweight Champion, Nathaniel Collins.Nathaniel takes us behind the curtain of the professional fight game, and it’s not all glitz and gold belts. We’re talking about the mental and physical torture of "the cut"—that brutal period before a fight where every calorie is a memory and the obsession with food reaches fever pitch.From dreaming about "scran" to the legendary first meal post-fight, Nathaniel gets real about the sacrifices made in camp. We also take a trip down memory lane to the lockdown days, where Nathaniel was busy putting Darren through his paces (and wondering if he'd survive the session). Plus, we tackle a classic Glasgow phenomenon: Why is it that every guy in a local pub, after two pints, thinks they can puff their chests out and have a "square go" with a professional fighter? On the menu this week:• The Hunger Games: The psychological warfare of making weight.• The Food Obsession: What happens when you can’t stop thinking about a cheeseburger.• Lockdown Drills: Training Darren when the world was shut down.• Glasgow "Hardmen": Dealing with the egos who think they can take a pro.• The Big Stage: Looking ahead to the massive upcoming fight at the OVO Hydro.Whether you're a boxing fanatic or just here for the patter, this is an elite-level chat with one of the city's finest athletes.
