About this listen

 Restless Natives is a cult Scottish film from 1985 featuring two scallywags – The Clown & The Wolfman. It’s iconic. Two resourceful rascals who take on the ambitious task of holding-up tourist buses in the Highlands… They were Robin Hood, only Scottish and on the back of a motorbike. Gordon Smart & Martin Compston are sampling that spirit - inspired by The Clown & The Wolfman - and distilling it into a podcast. They are setting themselves lofty ambitions before setting off in pursuit of tasks and goals they have absolutely no right achieving. A bit like their careers in TV, movies, newspapers and radio… Join them as they recount some of their ridiculous scrapes and adventures from the past while they plan even more ambitious, unreachable schemes for the future. Some of them will be achieved and others will crash and burn spectacularly. They’ve got lots to talk about, lots to share with you and nothing but time. As the film once said: “Is this the end of the story or a beginning of a legend?” For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: dax@global.comGlobal Social Sciences

    The Gold, "S***ging" your Mates' Mum on Stage & Carpentry with Emun Elliott
    Jun 11 2025

    It’s another week of mischief, mayhem, and top-tier nonsense – but this time, we’ve swapped Martin’s majestic eyebrows for another Scottish icon: Emun Elliott.

    Actor, national treasure in the making, and Edinburgh’s answer to Colin Farrell, Emun joins Gordon for a cracking chat full of showbiz highs, gritty theatre lows, and even why he's addinf sawdust to his scripts. From his breakout in Black Watch to the sun-drenched (and very sweaty) sets of The Gold: Series 2, this is a man with a story for every continent.

    This week, Martin is in Ireland filming, and as he's had his turn with his best mates, it's only fair that the Brigadoon boys get their own episode too.

    This week we welcome Big Goudie onto the pod to confirm whether Gordon grew up posh or not. Plus, childhood shananigans, dressing up as sexy women as a child, first jobs, missed opportunities, T in the Park and Best Man speeches.
