The lads start off with a special shoutout to those who are into findom as they reckon they'd be raging if they were into it. Kevin also shares details of an absolute ordeal he had at the library that made him wish printers were no longer in existence. The theme for the week is scams and the boys take a look into some of the high profile hustles that have taken place in recent years like Fyre Festival and Anna Delvey. They also talk about things that aren't exactly scams but feel like a scam like Zara sizing and hotel check-out times.Get tickets for the Australian leg of 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

PJ has flown to England for their show in London so of course he has a stressful airport story to tell. Meanwhile Kevin has been brushing shoulders with celebs but is mortified at the fact that he was roaring Charli XCX’s name at the top of his lungs in the thickest Cork accent ever when he was standing right in front of her during her DJ set. The lads take a look at Irish mythology and revisit all the old magical tales we were told in our school days like The Children of Lir, Tír na nÓg and The Salmon of Knowledge. Their retelling of some of the stories is definitely questionable but luckily they have Sadhbh’s notes to hand to clear up any grey areas such as whether Cú Chulainn was into pup play.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Kevin is on an absolute rager for two reasons; he was gaslit by his taxi driver and had his coffee confiscated from him after only two sips and his landlord is after putting up the rent again. The theme for the week is the class system and the boys discuss Ireland having less rigid class structures than the UK, how primary school lunches were a good indicator of a students economic background and how they wish the Celtic Tiger, the most glam pussy to ever enter Ireland, would make a comeback.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads talk about the joy of having no plans at the weekend but then discuss the absolute trauma of thinking you're the loneliest person in the world when it comes to the weekend and you do nothing. PJ shares his story about his chaotic trip to the post office to send his wedding invites which Kevin thinks look like notes kids used to pass to each other in school. The theme for the week is etiquette and of course, Kevin is loving life because he's weak for all things etiquette and of course PJ is allergic. They talk about etiquette in different countries and how they think that despite England priding themselves on their manners, everyone there is pure rude.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads just witnessed a load of girlies in Cork en route to see Becky Hill and they were all done up to the nines and this prompts a discussion about the girlies from Little Mix and why they can’t seem to get their solo careers to take off. The theme for the week is languages and Kevin is delighted with life as he thinks etymology is very interesting but PJ thinks it’s snooze. They also discuss the origins of Polari, the language used by the gays in an effort to keep their lives a secret but also to reveal themselves to other friends of Dorothy.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The pope is being messy again using the f slur and the lads have to call her out on her shenanigans. PJ says the Vatican was always homophobic because when he was there on holidays there was nowhere to get a coffee. The theme for the week is celibacy prompted by the 4B Movement in South Korea that is spreading throughout Asia and the world in which women renounce dating men, marriage, sex with men and having children. They discuss the pressure of losing your virginity and also speak about the chaotic Disney Channel purity ring era but Nick Jonas if you're listening Kevin would love to sleep with you.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

UK TOUR TICKETS: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕It’s the last week of the Irish tour and Kevin’s preparing to head back to London and says he’ll miss Ireland’s sandwich culture the most. The boys also express their appreciation for an artist who is essentially Cork’s answer to Banksy, who’s been going around adding googley eyes to all the campaign posters for the local and European elections. As Father’s Day approaches the lads decide to celebrate the dads who are doing the work by reading out stories of dads being allies for the LGBTQ+ community and some of the submissions have Kevin and PJ up in a heap with how cute some they are and they are still screaming at the dad who says ‘hunty’.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads have just done their opening night of their tour and they're dying to catch the girlies up on how it went. The theme for the week is cults and the lads do a deep dive into what it takes for something to be a cult and the type of person likely to get indoctrinated into one. They then question whether I'm Grand Mam is a cult and decide whether they'd be cut out for the sacrificial elements of cults.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode the lads talk about their constant search for validation (even if it's in the form of a wolf whistle from a gay builder) and discuss Kevin's stint as a body double for Lewis Hamilton. They then read out some 6th year holiday horror story submissions and they want this episode to be a cautionary tale for Irish gays and girlies getting with Brits abroad; the GCSEs is the equivalent to the Junior Cert so don't be mauling young fellas.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Listen to the songs from the Bureau de Change Song Contest: https://bureaudechangesongcontest.bandcamp.com/album/the-bureau-de-change-song-contest-volume-3 💫Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

It's communion season girlies and it's all excitement in the Kirby household as Tess has finally said yes to the dress and she's gearing herself up to walk into the church purse first to slay the house of God down boots on her big day. The lads talk about their longing to have had their ears pierced for their communions like the girlies and talk about how much money they made and what they spent it on. Rumour has it Kevin still has his communion money in his post office account. They then talk about divorce, how close the results were in the divorce referendum in 1996 and how much of an eejit Just*n Barr*tt is for campaigning against it only to get divorced himself in 2017.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Kevin starts the episode off by sharing his ordeal of dropping his phone down the back of the radiator during the week and trying to get it out for 4 hours and then PJ gets one up on him by talking about his ordeal of dropping his camera and breaking his lens which was an awful lot of money. For the theme they talk about frontal lobe development and Saturn’s Return and Kevin question’s whether his frontal lobe was already fully formed as a child because he never used to take risks and avoided bouncy castles at all costs. Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Kevin chose violence by deciding to start his week off by watching clips on YouTube from the latest instalment of Britain’s Got Talent and of course he sobbed but he also can’t cope with the fact that a song from The Greatest Showman features every 4 minutes. And of course BGT can’t be discussed without mentioning PJ’s brief stint on the show as a dancing cat. Then prompted by the show Baby reindeer the lads discuss stalking; from their own innocent obsessions with the likes of Maxxie from Skins and professional dancer Anthony Kaye to crazy barbz who have started doxing anyone who comes for Nicki.The Sexual Violence Centre Cork are currently offering their services to victims of stalking in Ireland: visit sexualviolence.ie.Freephone: 1800 496 496 Text/Whatsapp: 087 1533 393Email: [email protected] tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Kevin just got back from Paris and he was disappointed by the lack of berets but completely overwhelmed by the number of baguettes. Then prompted by PJ’s recent marathon run the lads discuss having a third life crisis and the chaotic antics we get up to in our thirties. Remember girlies, there’s no rush so take it easy; Samuel L Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until the age of 46 and Oprah didn’t run a marathon until the age of 40 and she ran it faster than PJ.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode the lads speak about their shared hatred of fedoras and conclude that Britney is the only person on the planet who can pull them off. They talk about JLo being Jelulu and then read out embarrassing story submissions and they do not disappoint. From people pissing themselves behind the pulpit at mass to condom conundrums, the listeners' tales have the boys cringing and howling in equal measure.

As the video of Kevin injuring himself made it into his March dump he decides to speak his truth and talk about his ordeal on the cursed mode of transport that is the Lime bike. He also reveals that when faced with his bike being stolen, instead of going into fight or flight his adrenal glands opted for freeze. The theme for the week is work/life balance and the boys discuss the ways in which attitudes are changing to employment and how in the words of Kim K, it seems like ‘nobody wants to work these days’. PJ then puts forward a very compelling argument for a communist state with the promise of organic veg for everyone but Kevin suggests he gives Animal Farm a read first.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

PJ has a bone to pick with Kevin and it's regarding a comment he made nearly two years ago in Edinburgh after a call with a production company. Sensing fear in PJ's eyes about having to act, a skill which Kevin already had in wheelhouse from his time on the platoon in Les Mis, Kevin tried to reassure his friend by saying he could get acting lessons which sent PJ into a spiral. TV production companies if you're listening to this episode PJ has been working on his accents and can do a fab French one. The theme is good deeds and the lads talk about acts of kindness not counting because people are filming it for social media, virtue signalling and their favourite celebrity ever George Michael.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads are fed up. They're fed up of slow coaches, of lads hanging off bars in Stratford, of people accusing them of being classist and of angry dads in Howth. They've had enough! Because it's Easter the lads decide to do an episode around habits. Firstly they discuss the things they used to give up for lent when they were younger and Kevin reenacts drinking water for the first time. Then PJ outs Kevin for his habit of picking his nose and invents a habit for himself so he doesn't feel left out.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The conversation is off to a wholesome start this week as PJ talks about his recent holistic endeavours which involved an evening of yoga and ice baths and a claim that breath work is the new MDMA. Kevin meanwhile gets his highs from playing Sandstorm by Darude in his spin class. The theme for the week is jealousy, the green eyed monster, something everyone experiences at some point in their life but for some reason most of us are too mortified to admit it. They talk about being jealous when they were younger of the kids in the estate who could do the Pele 7 and being jealous nowadays when one of the girlies on Instagram posts a pic of her fella and he's all caked up. Life can be so unfair.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The boys have nothing done and tis all go as they've just announced their new live tour 'That's Showbiz' which will be kicking off at the end of May. Then prompted by Cillian Murphy's recent Oscar win for best actor and because it's Paddy's Day the lads have a conversation about the Irish buachaillí having a bit of a moment in Hollywood as of late with girlies and gays alike all being a tad bit obsessed and thirsting after them. They also discuss the fact that they've no clue about how odds work when it comes to placing bets (not that they're really all that fussed anyway because going into betting shops makes them feel depressed and on edge).Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Every so often Kevin likes to remind the listeners that PJ used to use an eyebrow pencil to fill in his moustache before a night out in London and today is one of those days. But these days he’s using the eyebrow pencil on his actual eyebrows as he has made his drag debut as Siobhán Yanickers and all the queens of Dublin have been left shaking in their thigh high boots. The Oscar love curse is the starting point for this weeks theme where the boys discuss the concept of having it all. They talk about gender roles and how their non-existent ovaries explode whenever they see a dad in the wild doing a fab job with kids and they reveal that having it all for them is something as simple as having a fridge fully stocked with cans of fizzy drinks to return home to in the evening.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In this weeks catchup the lads discuss Kevin nearly getting the I’m Grand Mam account banned on TikTok and PJ quizzes Kevin on where he plans on putting a desk in his room. Then prompted by the new arrival in the Twomey family the lads look at names and how significant they are. They talk about what other names were in contention when they were born, whether they like their own names, discrimination based on a name and the most important part of the chat is realising PJ doesn’t really look like a PJ at all and should be called Timmy with @JustTimmy as his Instagram handle.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

It's not spring unless PJ has uttered his favourite phrase 'spring has f*cking sprung' and with that the lads talk about what flowers they envision themselves as. The pair then get into a discussion about whether the English Market or the Marina Market is better. In very exciting news Kevin welcomes the arrival of his beautiful niece and he has never been more in love so the lads decide to talk about the joy and pressure of being an iconic guncle.

The record is off to a rocky start as the boys were locked out of the house and Kevin had to slip in through the window which was a struggle but his ass looked amazing. This week the nepo babies of the world come under scrutiny and the lads question if certain celebrities are decent at what they do or are they just riding on their mam and dad’s coattails. They also extend their sympathies to anyone who grew up with a mam who was a milf as it couldn’t have been easy. Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

PJ is concerned about a mark that Kevin has on his arm that he acquired when he fell down the stairs at the weekend. Don't hoover the stairs whilst wearing Birkenstocks girls. Kevin then goes on to tell a story about his mam falling down the stairs but doesn't get very far because PJ can't stop laughing. How rude! Then as it's Valentine's week they decide to read out some cute meet stories from listeners about chance encounters and serendipitous scenarios that led to long lasting love. Kevin then gets angry at PJ because he says he can't have a plus one for his wedding.

This weeks episode begins with a discussion about how much of a hold the sandwich chain O’ Brien’s has on the people of Ireland - there really is just no beating a soup and a samba combo let’s be honest girlies.The boys are still buzzing off the back of launching their brand refresh last week, so much so that they decided to dedicate an entire episode to rebranding. They talk about celebrities who reinvented themselves, artists who maybe should do a bit of a rebrand and whether bangs would suit Kevin.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The boys are back with a new look. No PJ hasn’t changed his hair again - I’m Grand Mam has had a bit of a refresh. Basically the lads wanted their faces on the podcast artwork and sure aren’t they dead right because they’re both big rides.It’s the first record of 2024 and Kevin gives PJ a belated birthday present and PJ opens it right there and then and it’s definitely a step up from the tiny manky green bag he got him a few years back. The lads then talk through their ins and outs for the year but most of the ins just turn out to be phrases they’re a bit obsessed with at the moment like 'that's showbiz' and 'give mummy a kiss'.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

It's the last episode of the year or is it the last episode ever? Who knows? Kevin likes to keep PJ and the girlies on their toes. Kevin's not in the best mood as PJ took him to a coffee gaff in Dublin that is the equivalent to Cork's Puccino's. PJ then apologises to Kevin for dismissing his aversion to junk mail after Nuala was locked out of her gaff when she had a full head of foils in after getting her colour done in Tracey's salon. As it's the last episode of the year the lads take a moment to reflect on their highlights of the last 525,600 minutes and share some of the good news that's been submitted by listeners.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Get your hands on a copy of The I’m Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / Bookstation 💕Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

It’s the penultimate episode of 2023 and it’s a special one. PJ’s fiancé and Kevin’s secret lover Jose is making his I’m Grand Mam debut. The chat begins with Jose addressing the rumours of his illicit love affair and then he goes on to talk about moving from the Philippines to Ireland at the age of 11 and being an artistic person and having a new creative pursuit every other month. They then play a game called Jose or Hozier where Kevin reads random facts and PJ has to guess whether they apply to Jose or Hozier.

The episode begins with Kevin questioning PJ on why he never has a hand towel in his bathroom forcing Kevin to have to dry his hands on the cats. Then because it’s cuffing season the lads go through Kevin’s dating profile which leaves so many unanswered questions like are Kevin’s boxers red or wine coloured? Why is Kevin doing the bear face in his pictures? And why does Kevin start off every conversation with ‘hola chico’?Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Get your hands on a copy of The I’m Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / Bookstation 💕patPurchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

As part of World Aids Day the lads are very excited to be having their first ever podcast collaboration with Robbie Lawlor and Veda Lady from Poz Vibe Podcast. The chat starts off with PJ apologising to Veda for stretching her thigh high leather boots but he is welcomed as her drag daughter into the house of Veda and aptly settles on the name Veda Boots.Robbie and Veda then share their stories about coming to terms with their HIV+ diagnosis, spread the message that U=U and talk about their recent involvement in the film How To Tell A Secret, an Invisible Threads Production directed by Anna Rogers and Shaun Dunne which is available to stream on Netflix in the UK and Ireland from Friday December 1st.Test regularly and know your status.

It’s been a long time coming but the lads have finally invested in a brand new microphone setup and it’s only taken them 4 and a half years. Only stunning audio quality to follow from henceforth. As they didn’t get round to half the submissions in the last episode they dedicate another episode to regrets and there’s a girl who regrets buying a house with her ex-fiancé only to find out he’d been getting off with her bestie behind her back. This leads to a disconcerting revelation about what’s been going on between José and Kevin behind the scenes. Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Get your hands on a copy of The I’m Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / Bookstation 💕Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

This week the boys are bringing you a very special episode in partnership with Science Week. But of course, the lads couldn’t just wing their way through this one so they enlisted the help of award-winning science communicator, Dr Fergus McCauliffe who is the Communications and Public Engagement Manager at iCRAG. Together the lads discuss all things to do with the climate crisis and the importance of biodiversity and take a look at the pros and cons of living on different planets if Earth became uninhabitable.  Science Week 2023 is running from the 12th to the 19th of November.

The episode begins with PJ reciting a poem that he heard recently and it’s two minutes of your life that you’ll never get back. Kevin discusses his chaotic antics the weekend of Halloween whereby he nearly had to get an Uber home in the nip. The theme for the week is regrets and the listeners don’t disappoint with their submissions. From people shagging their cousins to a girl who rues the day she decided to eat a puffin in Iceland, it’s obvious that the girlies have a lot on their conscience and the boys are all ears.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The boys are recording from PJ's hotel room again and Kevin's trying to get PJ cancelled by saying he demanded an accessible room because he needed extra space for his boots and to practice his TikTok routines. PJ then has an apology to make to people who had to wait for him on a flight recently when he was getting an iced latte because mama needs her juice. The theme of the week is reality tv, prompted by the fact that Big Brother is back on our screens. The lads talk through their top 5 iconic reality tv moments, debate shows they'd like to appear on and Kevin expresses his adoration for Camilla Thurlow, one of his favourite Love Island contestants of all time.Get your hands on a copy of The I'm Grand Mamual:Easons / Dubray / Bookstation 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads are recording live from a hotel in London and decide to put on dressing gowns and slippers to give the illusion of grandeur, despite Kevin saying that he thinks lads in dressing gowns are a bit of an ick. Then prompted by their book making it to number 2 in the Irish book charts, narrowly missing out on the top spot, they discuss their experiences of being second best. The iconic Blarney Street Pram Push also gets a mention and of course PJ has to mention that Blarney Street is the longest street in Ireland because he's never once stated that in any previous episode ever.Get your hands on a copy of The I'm Grand Mamual: Easons / Dubray / Bookstation 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The episode starts off with a warning to girlies who send messages to the boys saying they just met their doppelgänger on a night out and the warning is please stop doing this or you'll be blocked. The lads have never felt good about themselves after being sent a photo of their proposed 'twin'. Then prompted by a Vice article the lads delve into the world of new hipsters. Gone are the days of the old hipsters who had man buns and rode fixie bikes and drank IPAs - the new hipsters are Salomon wearing, natty wine drinking, pop-up frequenting, Bristol sober cool girls.

The episode begins with an acknowledgement of one of the most camp contraptions ever to be created; the Campbell-Stokes recorder. Speaking of camp, PJ shares that he was glued to the drama behind the brown bread baking competition on social media at this years ploughing championships. The theme is superstitions and rituals and unfortunately there's a horrendous revelation that Kevin wore the same underpants for the duration of his Junior Cert.

The episode begins with a declaration from the lads that PJ has a booba face and Kevin has a Kiki face. Kevin is still feeling patriotic and proud having watched the Ireland match at the weekend and the pair conclude that though rugby is very rough all the boys look fab and so it’s worth watching. The theme for the week is digital footprint promoted by the icon, the legend, the moment that is Tube Girl and the boys decide to retrace their own digital footprints by reading out old Facebook statuses.

In the catch-up this week Kevin throws ideas at PJ for Jose’s birthday celebrations, which is always a tricky one to organise as PJ loves to plan everything to a tee but Jose likes to chillax. They also talk about the horrors of wearing a dance belt when they were younger and the joy of taking it off after a ballet class. The theme for the week is America, the land of the free, chosen by PJ because he wanted to tell everyone all about his stories from his many trips to the States. Though Kevin has never been, he has always been obsessed with America, exemplified by the fact that he had an Obama hoodie and a Starbucks wallpaper on his phone when he was a teenager.Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / Bookstation 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

This episode begins with PJ sharing his second-hand sofa search story which resulted in him getting a suite of furniture which is worth over €20k for €800 but Kevin reckons he was swindled as it’s walking with the dirt. Things then get a bit NSFW as the theme for the week is OnlyFans and the lucrative world of adult content creation, an industry the lads could never get involved in because they’d be mortified if nobody subscribed. Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / Bookstation 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads are recording from PJ’s new gaff in Dublin which is situated right next to a DART track so if you hear any train noises during the episode no you didn’t. The theme for the week is loneliness and the boys discuss the impact of moving away from each other last year when they were clung to each other like moss to a damp wall and the absolute mortification of having to force yourself to make friends in new social settings.To get involved with ALONE or avail of their services visit www.alone.iePreorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / BookstationSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads are still in Cork and Kevin feels the need to address something that everyone else has been thinking but nobody is brave enough to admit; donuts are taking over the city once more. From Dinky Donuts to Krispy Kreme, there's no avoiding the torus shaped treats and Kevin is ready to break his silence. The theme for the week is pets and PJ learns that Kevin actually did have pets in his youth, he just hasn't mentioned them before for fear of being cancelled. Though they might have differing views on cats, one thing they can both agree on is that it would be stunning to be Tom Hardy's dog and cuddle with him on a Friday eve.Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / BookstationSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Kevin and PJ are still buzzing after their live podcast at the Cork Opera House but regrettably neither of them have a vocal chord left in their throats. The theme for the week is body modifications and the lads start off by saying which piercing locations are the hottest. PJ loves a tongue piercing on a fella but Kevin thinks it's absolutely horrendous. PJ gives us a tattoo tour of all the artwork on his body and assures Kevin that the image on his torso is a vase and not a butt plug and the lads then discuss whether they think strict rules regarding the visibility of tattoos in the workplace need to be reconsidered.Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / BookstationSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The boys have never claimed to be perfect so please don’t come for them when you hear them ranting and raving about the iced brown sugar oat latte from Starbucks; at the end of the day they’re gay men and they need their caffeine fix and they love the sound of the ice clinking in the cup. Kevin says that he wishes he lived above a coffee shop as it would tie in with his Sunday morning fantasy of popping down to get his flat white before returning to bed with his lover to read a broadsheet newspaper. The theme for the week is hens and stags, chosen by Kevin because he wants PJ to get his act together and start planning the wedding again so that he has something to look forward to. Though they have a difference of opinion when it comes to the inclusion of strippers and masks of Jose’s face at the hen, one thing they can agree on is that light up MR & MR signs are not to feature in the wedding in any way, shape or form.Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / BookstationSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads’ mams have both been away on holidays which leads to a discussion about doing a deep clean of the house before a trip abroad. It just gives you a greater sense of peace when you’re doing your rest and relaxation bits by the pool doesn’t it? They then turn their attention to the theme of the week which is stealing and the lads share whether they were fond of a five finger discount when they were younger. Kevin also reveals that he had a chaotic mischievous French exchange student with a penchant for Elizabeth Arden products. Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / BookstationSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads are recording from the Apple studio again in London and PJ’s questioning whether he’ll be able to get a pistachio latte from Blank street coffee before he flies back to Dublin as he believes the drink is derived from the tit of Aphrodite. They also question how much butter is in a croissant which leads Kevin on to a story of a new bakery he visited at the weekend (and did he mention it was raining at the time?). The theme for the week is the future and they discuss whether AI is a good or bad thing and whether it will make their jobs as podcast hosts obsolete or not. To out AI to the test they use Chat GPT to generate a podcast intro for them and it doesn’t disappoint. They also talk about what inventions they would like to exist in the future.Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / BookstationSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

You might notice some stunning sound quality in this weeks episode girlies and it’s because the boys are recording in a studio thanks to Apple Podcasts. Both of the lads have been to see the Barbie movie and Kevin insists he wanted to see it by himself though PJ thinks it’s because he has no friends. They then talk about the awkwardness of kissing in a cinema or in a car and being traumatised about having to face your parents with a hickey on your neck. The theme for the week is festivals and Kevin questions if he’s just not cut out for the festivals anymore whilst PJ reckons he’s better suited to them because or a traumatic experience he had in Dripsy woods when he was 16. They also discuss what their riders would be for when they perform at a festival.Preorder The I'm Grand Mamual from:Easons / Dubray / BookstationSign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The podcast opens with a heart-warming tale from Kevin that involves an Uber driver and a drag queen on the weekend of Pride in London. The boys then discuss how they feel absolutely triggered when a random stranger refers to them as sir and worse again is when lads on dating apps think it's okay to call you 'Mr'. It's not. Then because it opened in cinemas this week, they had to talk about all the hysteria and hype surrounding the Barbie movie and discuss their earliest memories of the iconic doll.
