Girl, LMNO!
PJ's been listening to Cher Lloyd and it's made him feel invincible, so get your swagger in check, girls! All this nostalgia has the lads are reminiscing about playing run away knock as kids, and they're giving out advice to the adult victims... don't chase, it's what they want. The theme for this week is things we wish we'd learned in school, and the boys are wondering why the girlies got to do home economics and they didn't? Although they don't envy them the panic of a night before double home ec with no ingredients in the gaff. They're also lamenting the fact that we were never taught the basics: money management, home cleaning and how to do a fierce smokey eye!

What's My Name?

The theme for this week is movie sets, inspired by Christopher Nolan’s rules on set of The Odyssey. The lads discover that they’d have very little patience for rude directors and method actors, and they wonder why we can’t just have more fun on the shoots, girls?

Did Glee Make Us Gay?

B is for Bubbles
PJ's been booked and busy with a full-body M.O.T. this week, including seeing a podiatrist, and the boys are now debating getting into barefoot shoes- thoughts, feelings, concerns? He's also been to Trans and Intersex Pride, and is sparing a thought for the furries marching in the heat. The theme for this week is the dark side of reality TV. The lads are talking about the not-so-glamorous side of reality TV, the ethics behind it, and hearing all the reasons Kevin couldn't go on Love Island.

Drafts Only
Girlies, it’s a big week here at I’m Grand Mam, because Kevin is finally going gluten free in an attempt to settle his stomach. PJ is shocked to learn that Kevin’s been cooking dinners for his housemate, because that definitely wasn’t a perk that he enjoyed while the boys were living together. Inspired by the ever-soaring temperatures, the lads are discussing the end of the world this week: how scientists think it’s most likely to happen, who they’d want by their sides in an apocalypse situation, and if the world is ending... are we hitting the clubs?

Fluff Up The Feathers
PJ is on a crusade this week and demanding justice for pigeons; the humble messengers have been doing the Lord’s work for us, and we repay them by calling them rats in the sky. The lads are also analysing why Peppa Pig isn’t great for kids, and ask a very important question: where on earth is Corinne Bailey Rae? The theme for this week is herd mentality, and Kevin and PJ both had very different experiences growing up. PJ tried his best to fit in with the boys, and Kevin marched to the beat of his own drum. It’s all come good now though, because they’re both well able to keep from following the crowd and express their distaste for everything from Birkin bags to natural wine.

But Now It's Toast
The lads start the episode by singing the praises of the humble delicacy that is toast. All this talk of food reveals that PJ doesn't have a kettle or a toaster and Kevin is scandalised. Kitchen appliances are getting out of hand, girls, but the boys will always love the airfryer. The theme for this week is solo travel, and Kevin has been pondering whether it's time to do some solo jet-setting. The lads go through their top tips for solo travelling, and read out some chaotic stories from the listeners.

Is It Gonna Streisand?
The lads are cooling off after what felt like the hottest week of all time in London, and the end of their UK tour! They had an absolute blast doing the tour and celebrating afterwards, but hangovers in the heat aren’t for the weak, girls. The theme for this week is the World Cup, and Kevin is putting his football knowledge to good use by giving us all the goss from this year's tournament. From the hotties on the pitch to the goss in the changing rooms, the lads have it covered. They might not know what the offside rule is, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know ball!

I Got Goosies
The lads are recording live from the pits of hell this week, preparing for the final date of their UK tour in the sweltering June heat. They catch up about Kevin’s recent visit to the sexual health clinic, and sing the praises of the icons working there. The theme this week is shopping, and PJ and Kevin are mourning the death of the high street and the hundreds of brick and mortar stores shutting down every year. Online shopping might be the future, but that doesn’t mean we have to like it: unless it’s Vinted girls, because we’re obsessed.

Pink Has Pipes
Kevin’s odd with Alexa because she didn’t wake him up in time this morning, and he ended up having an unscheduled lie-in. The lads discuss how they’re getting on with the new video element of the podcast, and somehow end up recapping the plot to Charlotte’s Web. The theme for this week is intergenerational relationships, inspired by Hacks ending, and thus the greatest intergenerational relationship of our time coming to an end (Ava and Deborah forever). The lads are talking all about the different generations, and why having friendships with people older than us is so important for the LGBTQ+ community. They also hear some heartwarming stories from listeners that leave them in bits.

Give ‘Em A Click and Give ‘Em A Yasss
The boys are praising the power of the vulva and the girlies shooting ping pong balls out of them this week. Standard. Travel woes are getting to both the boys, as PJ didn’t get frisked by the hot security guy at the airport and he’s raging, and Kevin is missing the superior Irish rail service. In honour of pride month, the lads are talking all about gay villages this week. Many major cities have them: areas specifically catering to the LGBTQ+ community. Once created out of necessity, they've become hotspots for all kinds of nights out. PJ and Kevin are unpacking how gay villages came to be, their favourites around the world, and how the straights need to behave in the club.

The Horse's Name Is Friday
PJ’s been star-spotting this week; he’s convinced he saw Deborah Meaden at the gym, and he reckons her head is probably wrecked from people trying to pitch business ideas to her. Kevin is launching a crusade against a certain brand of gay man who fell into the sale rack at Zara, said “I’ll take it”, and calls it fashion.The baby gays experimenting with rainbows and alternative looks though? Chefs kiss, we love you all. The theme for this week is the rise of the sociopath, and the lads are wondering: are we all sociopaths? Or are we just becoming too individualistic? The idea that if something doesn't serve you, you don't have to do it is gaining popularity… but in protecting ourselves, are we losing community? It’s a lot to unpack… the horse’s name is Friday, girls. Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️ Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Dolls on Decks
It’s an episode of extremes today, girls. PJ has been recovering from the worst hangover of his life after taking some bad drinking advice from an evil twink. Meanwhile, Kevin’s been to watch his pal run the Hoka Hackney Half Marathon, and he can’t get over how supportive and wholesome the vibes are. And how hot the lads are. For the theme this week, the boys are breaking into the Khia Asylum: the fictional pop star purgatory manned by the Bebe Rexha’s and Ava Max’s of the world. They wonder what it takes for a pop girl to get stuck there, how they can break free, and whether Mickey Joe Harte deserves a cell.

Roy's The Boy
Kevin and PJ are riding high from the response to their Sky ad with Roy Keane this week; the family group chats have never been busier and the mams have never been prouder! Speaking of sports, they’re obsessed with the new Cork City Pride jerseys and how impactful they’ll be for queer people in sports. Inspired by their recent episode about intelligence, the lads are talking all about moments of stupidity. The listeners have sent in stories of the stupidest thing they’ve ever done or thought, and girlies… ye didn’t disappoint! From fruit towns with fruit people to real-life black markets, the lads are absolutely howling at some of the blonde moments confessed this week.

It’s a DINK Life for Me
Kevin is singing the praises of home makeover TV shows to a skeptical PJ this week, and the lads are inspired to think about their dream homes as kids (and adults, to be honest): secret doors and beds shaped like cars, anyone? Speaking of kids, that’s the theme for this week: the boys are unpacking how attitudes to having kids have changed, why the right wingers are obsessed with making women have babies, and wondering who on earth is having sex with Elon Musk? They’re also unpacking whether they want kids themselves, or if the DINK/SINK life is just too appealing.

Are We Funny or Are We From Cork?
Sickness has hit I’m Grand Mam towers this week, after a run of Irish tour dates and a busy period for the lads. Kevin is gearing up for this birthday, and the boys are addressing the allegations that their Cork accents are all for show; you got them, gals! The theme for this week is intelligence. As the old adage goes, you can’t judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, so Kevin and PJ are unpacking what it means to be clever. They talk through the different types of intelligence, how street smarts are just as valuable as Leaving Cert results and how being funny is the smartest thing you can be.
