so it is good to be back this is the last night of the tour good to be back in [Music] Glasgow good to come back to Glasgow because you can speak you know when you travel with a Scottish accent it’s kind of hard nobody understands anything you’re saying know I’ve done a few I’ve done a few TV shows I’m a pretty [ __ ] big deal you know I’m serious news know I’ve done a few TV shows and you’ve got a Scottish accent on the T you need to try and enunciate it and use proper English but it’s hard to find the right balance cu no matter how hard you try to enunciate and use proper English there’s still somebody from lington spa and we saw you on the television I didn’t quite understand everything you were say [Applause] didn’t quite catch something a bit over my head your accent is really quite strong you’ve got a really fake Scotch accent don’t quite catch everything you f there somebody in Scotland saying we seen you on the T talking like a [ __ ] Bender [Applause] can’t explain yourself when you travel down south and you tell people you’re from glasgo to get quite excited they go glasgo it’s really quite rough isn’t it really violent yeah you kind of get proud go L lot of tough guys tough and they visit the place and they’re a bit disappointed or trying to get away from the stereotypes we’ve got a a new promotional tourist campaign called Glasgow Scotland with style they seen the posters it’s one of these kind of homogenized posters of people supposed to be the new face of Glasgow people with names like Nathan know every major city advertises the happy people like Nathan and it’s this guys in the poster Nathan sales assistant proud glass region I don’t think a sales assistant called Nathan is a fair representation of any major city I think major cities should play up to their stereotypes on the Billboards advertis in your city show them real people like we mental Davy Apprentice joinal father of Sixx D’s there in the billboard with the six kids all tucked into the one trackit a la cost trackit only the best for these kids they’re all dressed up for their Granny’s Fair you’ve got the six kids you’ve got Keanu you’ve got seagon destiny that’s a new one I here Destiny imagine naming your daughter after the nightclub she was conceived in I was on a bus up here about 6 months ago and a guy got on he put his money in the bus driver said how much is that and the guy said it’s 170 how in Glasgow how means why I don’t know why that is you don’t say 170 why you say 170 how you don’t Ponder why you demand how he said 170 how and the driver said well it’s 85 for a single and the guy said it was 170 yesterday you [ __ ] dick classic negotiation tactics but the driver held his nil and he said what it’s 85 today you [ __ ] dick was good so in public transport you see a battle of the wits look this and the guy just lost it he said 85 I don’t want to buy the [ __ ] BS he’s doing that sort of appealing for Witnesses and scary the world right I feel for parents in there I reckon it must be one of the most challenging times in history to raise a child right I look at my own dad he’s recently turned 70 right which is impressive in the west of Scotland right that exactly that that’s good shooting in Glasgow 70 you need to give the card shop a bit of notice in parts of this city if you you need to let them know well in advance if you’re looking for a 70 of bir cup a 70th uh I can do you a 40th and a 30th mate is that any good we got any Americans in the room hell yeah just one guy did a [ __ ] accent I don’t know I come to Glasgow the Americans they visit Edinburgh and they come they got any edinb Burgers B Boo for Eden Burgers I don’t mean this in a disrespectful way but I’ve never really heard the term edinb Burgers know when you hear a conversation I don’t mean this in a disparaging way he a conversation in Scotland there’s a inan an aboni a d donian glass region and a [ __ ] for [Applause] Edinburgh it’s true though you never hear edin Burgers it’s con edur that’s what they’re called good get a few K edur made it through I love the Americans in Edinburgh I love them they’re enthusiastic not edenburgh Castle the Americans thinking it’s a high school because they hear gunshots every lunchtime I’ll kick your [ __ ] in that is how Progressive and liberal a city Glasgow actually is summed up in that sentence what a what a gender neutral sentence that actually is the equality we are the [ __ ] trailblade of gender equality women have said that to men in this city for decades you can watch the football Steven but if you come to this restaurant drunk I swear to God I’m going to kick your [ __ ] in we are the trill boers of trans rights this city we would Fe a bit of racial animosity in this city in Glasgow when we get our terrorist attack remember that Glasgow Airport we got our own little terrorist attack pretty proud of that can of put us on the map Islamic fundamentalist attacked New York Madrid London and then Glasgow you are [ __ ] flattered my dad had a tear in his eye a proud day [Music] son that’s on the T look I’ve been there of

  1. Had a Scottish girl for 5 years. Really thick accent and at times I didn't know what she was talking about. She dumped me said there was no communication between us. At least I think that is what she said 🤷

  2. I’m so happy you showed up on my feed. I can now understand where my father’s sense of humor gene came from. He was half Scottish. My folks took a trip to Scotland back in the 80s. On the 1st day of sight seeing, my dad said, these are my people! He had shoulders almost the width of doors, not quite to the top of the door frame. Not fat or chubby. He looked like a big strong farm boy. My dad really missed Scotland. So years later they went for one final trip. He has since passed. My sis and her hubby took some of his ashes, climbed a big hill, took each took a shot of whiskey and let his ashes go. Cheers Scotland

  3. I can't understand a word this half-pint says. Why doesn't he speak American? I mean, I thought this was his mother tongue.

  4. I have two accents Brummie English and Glaswegian accent

    And the Glaswegian accent is valid only for talking to people who are from Scotland Canada and USA

    And the Brummie accent is valid only when speaking to my family and relatives in and around the West Midlands and the Black Country

  5. If my people who are called by my name will turn to me, I will come and heal their land, book of Chronicles. Scotland's problems are not political, social , economic or religious and none of these have the answer to where Scotland is. The problem in Scotland, as it is in the rest of the world , is spiritual. Alexander Solzenitsyn said in his famous speech in 1983, after spending much of his life in Soviet Russia in a Gulag, then coming to the West .. . he said the world had fogotten God and that this was the root of the world's problems. However thank God the tide of anti-Christianity and anti- semitism, atheism, secularism, humanism is turning and the spiritual air is clearing for the winds of change are blowing over Scotland and Europ

  6. My mom was from nearby Dumbarton and Gourock. She did her nursing residency in Glasgow. She had this accent throughout her life. (Miss you, mom.) ❤

  7. I’m an American that can oddly understand Scottish people and I really understand @KevinBridges but I do have some issues with Irish accent for some reason and my friends call me weird oh well 😅😂😂😂 so I translate a lot 😅
