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.
