    The Barra's Boys | Episode 39 | Glaswegians Anonymous

    Welcome back to another chaotic hour with the Glaswegians Anonymous crew. This week, the ego is high, the history is deep, and the "patter" is as sharp as a broken bottle of Buckfast. Muscle, Fame, and The Barras We kick things off with Darren, who has clearly been spending more time at the gym than the pub lately. He’s officially declaring himself a "beefcake," though the rest of the room might have a different word for it. From there, we dive into: • The Scottish Celebrity Tier List: Where exactly do we rank in the hierarchy of Scottish legends? (Warning: Our self-assessment is dangerously high). • The Barras Boys: How we officially earned the title and why the world’s most famous market is our spiritual home. The Ultimate Glasgow Guide Whether you’re a "teuchter" visiting for the weekend or a tourist from across the pond, we’re breaking down the essentials: • First-Time Recommendations: Where to go if you want the real Glasgow experience (and where to avoid if you want to keep your shoes). • The Sub Crawl: A survival guide to Glasgow’s "Clockwork Orange." 15 stops, 15 drinks—will you make it back to St. Enoch? Gary’s History Corner Gary took a trip to the Glasgow Police Museum this week, and he’s come back armed with facts. Get ready for a double-header of Glasgow’s gritty past: • The Thin Blue Line: A lesson on the origins and evolution of the Glasgow police force. • The Duke Street Jail Break: Gary takes us back to the infamous IRA attack on Duke Street Jail. It’s a bit of heavy history delivered with the usual Glaswegians Anonymous flair. Plus, much more madness, questionable life advice, and enough nonsense to fill the Clyde.

    I'm Starting to Look Like a Link Sausage | Episode 38 | Glaswegians Anonymous

    Welcome back to another chaotic installment of Glaswegians Anonymous. This week, the boys are balancing local stardom with existential dread, questionable dietary choices, and some very sketchy political ambitions. Gig News & Inky Bets Gary is heading up to Aberdeen, and the stakes are high. He’s officially pledged that if he sells out the gig, he’s getting an Aberdeen tattoo. Will he follow through, or is he just "aff his nut"? Meanwhile, Darren is absolutely flying—his Glasgow shows are sold out, and his special is already 50% gone. Health, Wealth, and the Afterlife It wouldn't be an episode without some neurosis. Darren opens up about his health anxiety, which naturally leads the pair into a lighthearted (and slightly morbid) discussion about exactly how they want to die. The Scran Report • The Low: Gary recounts the absolute horror of his "worst kebab ever" from Bistro in Glasgow. • The High: A massive shoutout to Smokey Trotter Kitchen—officially 10/10 every single time. Holiday Blues & Caravan Life Gary’s back from Craig Tara, discussing the nuances of caravan upgrades and the timeless parental struggle: justifies taking the weans out of school during term time to save a few quid. Also in this episode: • The Patreon Group Chat: Why it’s the best place on the internet right now. • The Magic: Darren and Gary are taking to the stage together to do The Magic (yes, it’s exactly what you think). • Scottish Elections: Why the boys are throwing their weight behind the Christian Hash Party.

    How Many Calories In A Ladle Of Spunk? | Episode 36 | Glaswegians Anonymous

    Buckle up, because Episode 36 of Glaswegians Anonymous goes off the rails faster than a shopping trolley in the Clyde.We started this session with the best of intentions, aiming for a civilized chat about summer holidays—sun, sand, and the inevitable Scottish sunburn. But, true to form, the conversation didn't stay "civilized" for long. What began as travel tips quickly descended into absolute, unadulterated madness.By the time we reached the "nutritional" portion of the evening, logic had completely left the building. We answer the question that absolutely nobody asked, but everyone is now cursed to know: Just how many calories are in a ladle of... well, you’ve read the title.Warning: This one is definitely not for the faint of heart (or anyone currently eating lunch).Listen NowAvailable on all your favorite platforms.

    WHAT KIND OF CLAIM WOULD YOU GET FOR A CRASH IN SPACE? | EPISODE 34 | GLASWEGIANS ANONYMOUS

    Buckle up, because Episode 34 is a pure rocket ship of nonsense. This week, the Glaswegians Anonymous crew are tackling everything from the local chippy to the lunar surface. We’re asking the big questions: Is Trump actually losing it? Can you claim disability if you're living in zero gravity? And exactly how far is Gary willing to go for a free meal?Inside This Episode: • Culinary Crimes: We dive deep into our questionable food habits. Why is everything better when it’s been in a deep fat fryer for ten minutes, and at what point does a snack become a cry for help?• Desperate Times, Desperate Measures: We put Gary in the hot seat. The hypothetical question of the century: Would Gary "suck it in the street" just for a bit of grub? The answer might surprise you (or honestly, it probably won't).• The Orange Menace: We take a look across the pond at Donald Trump and his latest brand of madness. Whether he’s running the world or running his mouth, we’ve got thoughts—and they aren't pretty.• One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for a Scheme: We’re chatting about the Moon visit. Is it worth the trip, or is it just a cold, dusty version of Drumchapel with less atmosphere?• The DWP Chronicles: The main event. If you’ve ever wondered how to get a claim in without losing your mind, we’re breaking down the struggle. We’re aiming high—we want that Space PIP. If the government can spend billions on rockets, they can surely spare a few quid for our "space-related" anxiety.Plus much, much more chaos. Whether you're listening on the bus, at work, or while hiding from the DWP assessor, this one is for you.Tune in, get involved, and remember: keep it Glaswegian.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 #GlaswegiansAnonymous #NathanielCollins #GlasgowPodcast #ScottishBoxing #NewEpisode #PodcastScotland #GlasgowLife

    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
