    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.

Let’s just say the moonwalk hits different when you’re down the water.• "Sit Doon or Get Rooted": A near-confrontation with a woman who refused to take her seat.

    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

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?

    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.
