Darren Connell and Gary Faulds chat about the games folk used to play growing up on the scheme. Darren calls it the “Scheme Olympics,” but Gary’s not having it — he knew it by something else.

In this week’s episode of Glaswegians Anonymous, Gary and Darren dive into the world of Rangers and Celtic’s most famous supporters, sharing stories, laughs, and a few questionable facts. They swap memories of Christmas at the Barras — from dodgy bargains to festive chaos — and Darren opens up about the price of chasing fame, including the moments where it feels like you’re selling your soul just to get noticed.
Funny, raw, and unapologetically Glaswegian!
Darren kicks things off in classic style with a full rant about a £6 Pret sandwich (daylight robbery, if you ask him). From there, he and Gary dive into Glasgow’s food scene — the best scran, the guilty pleasures, and the local favourites that only true Glaswegians understand. Expect laughs, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of rage at overpriced sandwiches.
Welcome to the very first episode of Glaswegians Anonymous, hosted by comedians Gary Faulds and Darren Connell. Kicking things off the only way Glaswegians know how, the boys dive straight into the classic scheme question: “Where you fae?”
From sharing stories about where they grew up to chatting about the people, places, and pure Glasgow madness that shaped them, Gary and Darren set the tone for what’s to come—funny, honest, and unapologetically Glaswegian.
This is just the beginning. Pull up a chair, grab a cuppa (or something stronger), and join us for a laugh as we get into the real Glasgow patter.
