    I NEED A F**KING EXORCISM | Episode 56 | Glaswegians Anonymous

    Gary and Darren are back for another brilliantly chaotic week. From existential dread to wildlife combat, Episode 56 goes completely off the rails. The boys are gearing up for an upcoming show up in Stornoway, which means Darren is already panicking about surviving the tiny plane ride—though he is finally getting to visit his bucket list beach (with a serious twist).Meanwhile, Gary gets shockingly deep about his death anxiety before pivoting entirely to his bizarre TikTok live algorithm journey, his hunt for a phone addicts support group, and his tactical use of Arabic to secure extra meat at local kebab shops. Add in a debate on 3D-printed steaks and a breakdown of the ultimate Glasgow slaggings, and it's a classic episode. In this episode: * The absolute best Glasgow slaggings & how the boys would roast each other. * Stornoway bound: Darren’s small plane terror and his twisted bucket list beach trip.* Going deep on Gary’s death anxiety. * Animal warfare: A man gets attacked by an emu, and the guys debate which animals they could take in a fight. * The weird reality of 3D printing meat. * Gary’s descent into the dark depths of the TikTok live algorithm. * Does Gary need an intervention for his phone addiction? * The ultimate life hack: Gary speaking Arabic in the kebab shop for larger portions.

    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!
