"I think the Scottish accent's been voted one of the sexiest, but it's also, some of them, one of the most disgusting" - Craig
This bonus episode was a hilarious trip down memory lane. Craig and I just let loose with our Scottish accents, sharing stories about growing up in Glasgow that we've never really talked about on the main show. The cultural differences, the misunderstandings with Americans, and the unique character of Glasgow compared to the rest of Scotland - it all came pouring out in our natural voices. I think listeners will get a real kick out of hearing us in our element, not holding back on the Scottish slang and experiences that shaped us before we moved abroad. It's raw, it's authentic, and it's Glasgow through and through.
What's fascinating is how our identities are still so tied to Scotland even though we've both been away for decades. The way we slip in and out of our accents, the experiences that only make sense to other Scots - it's like carrying a piece of home with you that never quite fades, even when you have no plans to move back. This episode really captures that weird space of being proudly Scottish while also acknowledging why we chose to build our lives elsewhere.
Key Takeaways:
- The difficulties of being understood with a Scottish accent in America and how Niall had to adapt his speech to be understood
- How Americans have particular difficulty understanding Scottish accents, especially with words like "bottle of water"
- Discussion of Scottish comedy (Kevin Bridges, Still Game) and how specific cultural references don't translat
