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!

Live from a packed-out SEC Glasgow! The boys are taking the stage for our biggest, wildest live show yet, and we are joined by the absolute legend that is Kevin Brannigan (AKA the one and only Big Angie)! We’re diving deep into the chaos right from the curtain-raiser. Darren kicks things off by finally breaking his legendary 8-month dry spell the literal night before the show (pleasure responsibly, folks), before we jet off to his traumatizing tales from the Amsterdam Blue Light District. Meanwhile, Gary takes us down memory lane to the time he got caught red-handed taking a hash bucket in school. Our brilliant guest Kevin opens up about what it was really like growing up gay in Glasgow's East End, his "alleged" gang days with the Barrowfield fleet, and the time he got absolutely battered with a flip-flop for knocking back his ex. We also chat about his incredible Big Angie community tours bringing laughs back to the schemes. Also in this episode: Scheme Nostalgia: The mental games we used to play on the streets back in the day. Dream vs. Reality: What we actually wanted to be when we grew up versus the absolute worst jobs we ever had (Darren’s hell as a tiler’s apprentice and Gary’s stint as a Queen’s Guard). The Ultimate Question: What would we strictly not do for £1,000,000? Wrestling & Weird Sex: Gary’s ICW madness and Darren’s questionable decision to dress up as Bobby for some bedroom roleplay.

The big news is finally out, people! Darren and Gary are officially moving in together. What could possibly go wrong? Darren’s already planning on installing surveillance, so we’re placing bets now on who completely cracks up first.Before the domestic bliss (or chaos) begins, the boys are tackling the hard-hitting issues: * Glasgow's New Look: Why we need to bin the current city layout and just model Glasgow entirely on Boston. * The Tartan Army Takes America: Visualising the absolute carnage of Scotland vs. Haiti, and the Tartan Army taking over the streets of Boston. * Two-Wheeled Terror: The absolute menace of cutting about Glasgow on electric bikes. * Battering into Grannies: (Exactly what it sounds like, pure chaos).Plus, Darren gives a wee recap of his latest comedy gig and shares a mental health update—thankfully, his sanity is officially on the mend after the trauma of Banger-gate. To settle a debate, Darren rings up his cousin—and British Featherweight Champion—Nathaniel Collins, to get the definitive answer on who would actually win in a street fight.And finally, Gary takes us down memory lane with a brutal confession about his first DVD release. Turns out, he accidentally signed the plastic shrink wrap instead of the actual cover... 500 times.Standard mental behaviour from start to finish. Tune in!Listen now on all major platforms.
